#DESIGN: ADOBE’S PHOTOSHOP TOUCH APP

Moving into the mobile market, Adobe have released Photoshop Touch, allowing users to quickly combine images, apply professional effects, and share the results with friends and family through social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Price: $4.99

Available Platforms: iPhone 4s and 5, iPod Touch (5th generation) and Android (4.0)

The app allows users to create and edit a project, add layers and filters, and share across multiple platforms such as Facebook, Google +, Twitter, and Dropbox, depending on the type of file.

The veteran Photoshop user will find many of the same editing features already available to them in the desktop software, such as the ability to crop and extract images, add warps and lens flares, and adjust colors and blending. A row of buttons across the top allows users to add adjustments, such as curves and effects.  From the bottom of the screen, select and swipe to apply tools, such as paint and camera fill. The app’s Scribble Selection feature allows users to etch out selections and to continue to refine as they go.
