You can stream 'Black Widow' on Disney+ at no extra cost on Oct. 6

As with Disney films like Mulan, Raya and the Last Dragon, and Cruella, Disney will offer the latest Marvel flick Black Widow on Disney+ at an additional fee when it lands in theatres on July 9. This Premier Access paywall allows those who want to watch the latest Disney films from the comforts of home when they're scheduled for theatrical releases. But, as with the other films, you'll need to pay an extra CAD 34.99 to access the film on top of your Disney+ subscription.

After some time, though, Disney will open access to these films without paying the extra fee. For Black Widow, that period will be on October 6. So, if you don't want to pay extra and are willing to wait for Black Widow's release, then you can wait a few more months to stream the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster.

Adobe to pull Photoshop Mix and Photoshop Fix apps from Apple App Store on June 21

Adobe is pulling out two free, neglected apps from the Apple App Store. The company announced the change by updating the FAQ page for the Photoshop Mix and Photoshop Fix apps. Adobe will remove both apps on June 21, and it encourages you to switch to the Photoshop Express Photo Editor if you want a similar experience. However, this app requires either a monthly or yearly subscription for more intensive photo editing.

Photoshop Mix was released before a full-fledged version of Photoshop appeared on the iPad. It was designed to give iPad users some access to photo editing on the go. It let you add text layers and "easily create and share professional multilayered images and designs in minutes." Meanwhile, Photoshop Fix was meant for more light touch-ups and refinements. The former was last updated three years ago, while the latter was two years ago.
