With Photoshop.com Mobile, users can edit their images, apply effects and share them directly with friends – all with a swipe of a finger. Seamless integration with the free Photoshop.com service allows both sharing and a data backup of the photos, saving users valuable storage space on their iPhone. The application is now available as a free download from Apple’s App Store for the USA and Canada.
“We are delighted that Photoshop.com Mobile now allows us to make our image-editing technologies accessible to iPhone users as well,” said Doug Mack, Vice President and General Manager, Consumer and Hosted Solutions at Adobe. “With access to powerful tools for editing and sharing images, iPhone users can now document all of life’s surprising moments, get the best out of those images and then share those memories with friends and family.”
Using Photoshop.com Mobile for the iPhone makes it possible to view images seamlessly in full-screen previews and edit them using gestures. Users can edit their images with essential basic functions such as cropping, rotating and flipping. By adjusting saturation and tint, increasing exposure and vibrancy, and converting to black and white, they can also correct colours or vary the colour scheme.
Photoshop.com Mobile for the iPhone also offers numerous effects for digital images. The sketch tool makes photos look like drawings, while “Soft Focus” gives images a certain blur that creates an artistic effect. Effects such as Old Photo, Vignette and Pop allow users to make profound changes to the appearance of an image with just one click. Every edit or change can always be undone or redone, allowing users to have fun experimenting without having to worry about losing the original photo.
After editing, users can upload the images from their iPhone to their Photoshop.com account so they can view them there and find them again later from any computer with an internet connection. Photoshop.com Mobile for the iPhone is like a wallet-sized photo album, giving users access to their entire Photoshop.com library directly from their iPhone. Photoshop.com offers 2 GB of free storage for digital images, equivalent to around 1,500 photos.
