![]() Of course, the question is… if you do need these features, shouldn’t you just use Photoshop on your computer instead? But I personally believe that the whole idea of cellphone photography is in shooting and fine tuning the picture within the phone itself, and that is where Photoshop Touch takes the crown.Īndroid: Needs Android 4. If you don’t need Layers and Blending Modes, then you can manage quite easily with something like Snapseed or even the more basic Aviary. Photoshop Touch is an excellent app, but unlike the competition, it is not free. On a low-end Android phone, Touch would be a little slower. The iPad version of Adobe's flagship Photoshop image-editing software, after a tepid beginning, is taking shape with more features appearing nearly monthly. On a high-end phone like the HTC One X, it works like a charm, but it still takes longer to save the final JPEG, as compared to the competition. It also allows you to save up to 12MP photographs, which is more than Snapseed’s limit.Īdditionally, Photoshop is processor intensive. Also, whereas we noticed the Android setup was quite slow to respond to some actions, on the iPad 2, Photoshop Touch responds much more quickly and smoothly to simple finger. On the other hand, Adobe Photoshop Touch offers a whole range of features for making selections. On that particular tablet, which has a 10.1-inch screen, Photoshop Touch felt a lot less cramped than it does on the squarer 4:3 aspect ratio 9.7-inch panel of the iPad 2. Snapseed does have a lot more features and fun effects though, which cellphone enthusiasts may enjoy a little more, considering the casual nature of most images that one shoots through the phone. With powerful apps such as Adobe Lightroom Mobile, affinity and procreate I actually feel like its elevated beyond toy status where I could see myself doing. Adobe’s Design Mobile Bundle is available for 14.99 a month or 149.99 a year, and it includes access to Photoshop and Illustrator on the iPad, Fresco and Spark Post on the iPad and iPhone, and. Photoshop Touch beats competing apps like Snapseed, in terms of image quality. Also, the Noise Reduction option is poor. One feature it lacked was an easy way to straighten an image. It has most of the basic image adjustment tools and some advanced features like Shadow/ Highlights, Clone Stamp, Levels and Curves. The image quality produced by Touch is easily the best as far as cellphone apps go. At the top and bottom of the screen in both portrait and landscape modes youll find all the tools youll recognise from Photoshop, including layers. The inclusion of Layers and Blending Modes makes this software a no brainer for me to recommend. Thankfully, layers are alive and well in Photoshop on the iPad. Photoshop Touch does a remarkable job optimising a small cellphone screen for more complex editing. Having always been a Photoshop fan ever since I first used the software, I was really looking forward to the release of this app. Layers allow you to make image composites, like this one that was edited within the phone!
