Adobe has launched a brand new Photoshop app for iPhones, which it's also releasing for Android later this year.While there's already a Photoshop Express for mobile, the company says the new app was "designed from the ground up" with more features and has an easy-to-use mobile interface.The app, which is free to download and use, comes with Photoshop's core imaging and design tools.
Users can make selections, layers and masks in the app to combine or blend images.They can also replace parts of an image with the Tap Select tool, remove elements from a photo with the Spot Healing Brush and add new elements by using its generative AI tools, such as Generative Fill and Generative Expand.Users will have access to free Adobe Stock assets and can link their apps with other Adobe applications, including Express, Lightroom and Fresco.Adobe is, as expected, offering premium upgrades to the app's capabilities for those willing to pay for the new Photoshop Mobile and Web plan.
The $8-a-month service will add features to the app on mobile and iPad and will also include access to Photoshop on the web.Users who already have an existing Photoshop subscription, however, will also be able to enjoy the new Photoshop app's premium features.The premium features included with the new plan include the ability to transition editing from Photoshop mobile to the web if a user needs a bigger screen or more precise controls.Users are also getting extra generative AI features, including Adobe Firefly's Generate Similar, which allows users to create new variations of an existing image.
Subscribers will get access to 20,000 fonts, be able to make precise selections of people and objects with the Object Select too, isolate objects with the Magic Wand, erase elements with the Remove Tool, copy and clone certain elements with the Clone Stamp and fill portions of an image with Content-Aware Fill.They will also be able to control an image's transparency and lighten or darken certain areas of an image.The new app for iPhones is already available from the App Store worldwide.
