We try to reserve the auspicious term “awesome” for the things that truly deserve it, and today sees one of them. Adobe’s Photoshop app for the iPhone launched today, and it’s slick.
You can edit photos from your phone or stored in your Photoshop.com (
) account using intuitive finger gestures. Editing is reversible and non-destructive, with the output saving to your iPhone Photos collection and optionally to your online account.
After opening the app you’ll be prompted to select a photo from your library or snap a new one. A simple toolbar-style drop-down menu interface lets you choose from a collection of editing tools and effects including crop, rotate, and flip, exposure, saturation and tint adjustments, and easy to apply filters including black and white, sketch, soft focus, pop, border, vignette blur, warm vintage, rainbow, soft black and white and white glow.
At the bottom of the edit screen is another toolbar with options to cancel, undo or redo an edit, and save the image. Save and Exit simply saves the new pic to your iPhone Photos collection, while Save and Upload will also send a copy to your online storage. If you don’t already have a Photoshop.com account, the app will prompt you to create one the first time you try to upload an image. The account is free and offers up to 2 GB of storage, expandable of course with an annual paid storage plan.
This is an extremely handy app for photo touchups and edits on the go — it may even be one of our new favorites. The synchronization with cloud storage is icing on the cake.
Have you had a chance to play with PS Mobile yet? What are your thoughts? Are there other worthwhile or better alternatives out there for iPhone image editing?
