Adobe has launched a new Photoshop app for iPhone, giving access to powerful image editing tools to mobile users. The app offers a moderately user-friendly experience with touch-based controls and is quite intuitive for beginners and experienced users alike. It includes many of the core features found in the desktop version, such as layers, masks, and selection tools, allowing for detailed and precise edits directly on a phone, but it remains fiddly editing on a small screen. The free version of the app provides access to essential tools like the Spot Healing Brush and Tap Select to make basic adjustments quickly. A premium subscription is available for £7.99 per month or £69.99 per year if you are looking for more advanced features, tools like Object Select, Magic Wand, and Content-Aware Fill, along with access to thousands of fonts and better integration with Adobe’s Creative Cloud services. Performance-wise, the app runs smoothly enough. A nice feature is the seamless syncing with Adobe’s cloud, so one can start a project on the iPhone and continue editing on a desktop or tablet. And another great feature is the inclusion of Adobe’s AI-powered tools, such as Generative Fill and Generative Expand, which allows you to add or modify images elements easily. The new Photoshop app for iPhone may well become the default for mobile photo editing. It offers great and well-known features, it is accessible for casual users and provides most necessary options for power users. A great option for anyone looking to edit images on the go.
Free version iOS only, sorry Android
