Adobe has taken mobile editing to the next level with its new Photoshop app for iPhone, offering advanced tools previously available only on desktops. The app provides a more professional experience than Photoshop Express, making it ideal for creators who want to edit on the go.
A Desktop-Like Editing Experience
Unlike Photoshop Express, which has been around since 2010, the new Photoshop app brings more powerful tools like masking, layering, and blending. It also includes AI-powered features such as object removal and recoloring, making complex edits effortless.
Free vs. Paid Features
The app’s free version includes essential tools like the Spot Healing Brush, Tap Select, layers, and masks, along with access to Adobe Stock assets. The premium plan ($7.99/month or $69.99/year) unlocks advanced features such as:
- Object Select & Magic Wand
- Content-Aware Fill
- Advanced blending options
- Full Photoshop web access
Users with an existing Photoshop subscription can access premium features at no extra cost.
Creative Cloud & AI Integration
The app seamlessly integrates with Creative Cloud, Adobe Express, and Lightroom. It also includes Firefly AI tools like Generative Fill and Generative Expand, enabling users to add and modify elements in their designs effortlessly.
Availability & Future Plans
The app is now available for iPhone users worldwide, while an Android version is expected later this year. Adobe has yet to clarify how it will position this app alongside Photoshop Express, which remains available with a cheaper subscription model.
With professional-grade features in a mobile-friendly interface, Adobe’s new Photoshop app could redefine mobile photo editing, making it an essential tool for designers and photographers alike.
