Former Photoshop app for mobile devices

Adobe Photoshop Touch is a free photo-editing platform for smartphones and tablets that were utilized even before Adobe Photoshop Express and Adobe Lightroom. The Adobe Photoshop tools and features that you got used to experiencing on your desktops were redesigned to adapt to the structure of the mobile devices.

Keep in mind that this application is no longer available in Google Play nor App Store but, you can still download it from various third-party sites as an APK file. However, it is important to note that no future updates will be provided anymore   

What is Adobe Photoshop Touch?

Adobe Photoshop Touch enables you to manipulate layers and adjustment tools in order to create interesting images. With an integrated camera, you can use it to furnish an area using the unique camera fill tool. You have a huge library of professional effects and filters to freely choose from as well. It integrates with Google Image Search thus, you will be able to easily locate and acquire images. Not only that, it supports sharing on different social media apps like Facebook and Twitter.

This editing bundle works on high-resolution images of up to 12 megapixels while still maintaining the greatest picture quality. Playing with the Scribble Selection tool will allow you to select part of an image to extract. On the other hand, you can take advantage of Refine Edge to catch hard-to-select image elements with ease even using your fingertips only. If you are short on ideas, you can freely browse on the inspirational gallery for the styles and results wherein you’ll be able to absorb more creative concepts.

Photoshop Touch vs. Photoshop Express

Adobe Photoshop Express is the image enhancement that Adobe officially supports now. However, for many, Photoshop Touch is still more feature-packed than the latest installment. For instance, Photoshop Touch permits you to adjust tonal curves such as exposure and contrast within a picture. Furthermore, selective and HDR adjustments can be done. You’ll be capable to change the settings of a certain section of a photo like saturation, brightness, etc. Not to mention, you can enjoy double exposure and mirror effect features that Photoshop Express doesn’t showcase.

Just like on manual SLR cameras, you can utilize the Photoshop Touch editing suite to combine two of your pictures together and make them blend into one. Meanwhile, the mirror effect can be applied to your photos if you wish to experiment with creating a symmetrical project. Brush tools are also only bolstered on the previous edition which authorizes you to paint across your picture or administer small touch-ups. However, Photoshop Express’ advantage is the support for various publishing platforms and its printing capabilities. 

Old but gold

Adobe Photoshop Touch is a great image editing utility for mobile artists. Comparing relatively to Adobe Photoshop Express, it is more equipped with editing features and tools that you can effortlessly utilize to cater to your photo enhancement needs. Apart from that, you can revel in ad-free navigation meaning no intrusive advertisements can interrupt you as you work on the enhancement of your pictures.
