iOS 26.2 beta 1 arrived yesterday, and hidden in the release’s code, there’s reference to a new ‘Apple Creator Studio’ in the works.

Nobody knows what this is, but apparently it’s coming.

Please.... let it be something that enables severing the Adobe ties...

Apple has most of the ingredients needed for individual content creators - Logic, FCP, Photomator....

I'm willing this to be Apple's big push back into professional creative content creation again (similar to the early days of FCP 7, Shake, Motion etc...)

I was only able to like your post @Cmaier .... we need a pray emoji icon for posts like this

I would also like to see Apple developing a suite of creative apps that are at least on par (or possibly even better) than what Adobe offers.

But... Having been using Adobe Lightroom since its beginning (around 2007) processing my image files, any similar image editor offered by Apple would need to be able to read and edit/modify all of the non-destructive edits I've made over the years to my existing Lightroom-edited image files. I haven't counted the number of them, but that would likely be in the tens of thousands of images.

Twenty years ago I do remember starting with Apple's "professional" image editing software, Aperture. Although it worked OK, using it was a very frustrating experience. Moving to Lightroom was truly a breath of fresh air. Adobe got it right - both in non-destructive image editing and color science. Another thing Adobe got right was consulting with active photographers in the San Francisco Bay Area (I was one) to test new pre-released Lightroom features at their facility before updates were released to the public.

I noticed that my Mac wasn’t dimming the screen after non-use, and that the new clipboard history feature wasn’t working in Tahoe. I started going through my startup items, and it turns out I had to disable a bunch of adobe crap and everything started working again. (For now on i will have to manually check for creative cloud updates, I guess).

Would love for Apple to compete with Adobe for real this time.

It's Image Playground with....wait for it....animation! The company and republic are saved!

It’s probably just a discounted subscription bundle of the existing FCP, Logic and Pixelmator.

Probably, but here’s hoping that having a name for the thing means they are interested in this space again. I was crushed when they EOL’d Aperture - though not as powerful as lightroom it did everything I needed and was way cheaper, and also was a better ecosystem citizen.
