First Look: Adobe Slate, a New App for Creating on iPad

Slate, which launches today on iPad, is a follow-up to last year's Adobe Voice app, which made animated videos on iPad. Slate is structurally similar to Voice. It allows users to pull in photos from different cloud services and offers predesigned "themes" to choose from.

But rather than making animated videos, Slate uses a combination of your still photos and original text to create things like photo essays, newsletters, educational projects and digital invitations.
