Right now, there are five Photoshop branded apps available for iOS and Android.
You can use them all on your phone or tablet, although you will definitely have a better experience if youre using something like an iPad Pro rather than a cheap phone with a small screen.
Its been around for a few years and is the most general (and least Photoshop-like) app available.
Its basically a very competent, if generic, mobile image editor that syncs with Adobes Creative Cloud and other apps.
If youre a Creative Cloud user, thats probably reason enough to use it.
If youre not, there are better mobile image editors out there, like Snapseed ( iOS, Android ).
With it, you can heal blemishes, adjust the shape of facial features using liquify, smooth or sharpen skin, dodge and burn your image, add vignettes, and perform basic image adjustments like brightening or adding contrast.
You can do some semi-serious retouching, especially of selfies taken with your smartphone.
While using your finger is a bit blunt, if youre using a stylus and a tablet, you might actually prefer Fixs tools to the ones in Photoshop on your computer.
You can remove and replace objects from your images, combine multiple images, work with different layers and blend modes, perform basic image edits, and otherwise just mix different images together into a single composite.
I use it occasionally when I want to quickly combine a few different image assets on the go.
If youre familiar with Photoshops brush features, youll be right at home in Sketch.
You can use different brushes to digitally paint new artwork or work on existing images.
You have total control over the different brush effects, color, opacity, and more.
Its features fit most natively with the kind of things people tend to do on their phones or tablets.
Its a really great digital art app and well worth checking out.
The mobile version fulfils the same purpose, and if youre a Creative Cloud subscriber, syncs all your photos and edits with your regular Lightroom Library.
You can sort, rate, tag, and edit all the images on your device or synced through the Creative Cloud.
The editing features arent as powerful as Photoshop, but theyre more than enough for most things.
I edit 90 of my images in Lightroom without ever sending them to Photoshop.
If youre a Creative Cloud subscriber you automatically get the Premium features; if not, you can get them, and 100GB of online storage, for 4.99 a month.
If youre going to seriously start using it on your mobile devices, it will most likely replace the Photos app as your go-to image browser.
His work has been published in newspapers like The New York Times and on a variety of other websites, from Lifehacker to Popular Science and Mediums OneZero.
