There are a lot of ways to get Photoshop these days, including your iPhone.
Adobe on Friday unveiled Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone, allowing users on the go to have an easy way to edit photos, apply effects and share images with friends.
The Photoshop iPhone app allows full screen previews and gesture-based image editing, according to Adobe. You can do things like crop, rotate and flip images, as well as adjust saturation, tint and convert photos to black and white.
You can also use the sketch tool to make your photos look like drawings and use the Soft Focus effect to blur the photo just a little.
The Photoshop iPhone app uses your free Photoshop.com account. The app is free to download from the App Store.

For some reason this app is not available in the Swedish App Store. Adobe often disappoint.
It’s a nice, simple app with some basic functions. You can also upload pix to a 2GB-for-free photoshop.com site.
I’d like to see an “auto-enhance” function like iPhoto’s, as well as straighten and sharpen, though.
Definitely, a couple of “auto” functions would be a nice add. It’s a good start though.
I think it’s interesting to see other companies jump on the App Store/iTunes bandwagon–for all sorts of reasons, not just selling apps, but for promotional and informational purposes.
The iPhone is truly a new platform with its own set of unique facilities and functionalities.
I think Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone app initiative could be quite fruitful, for one thing.
Don’t know quite what to make of Rhapsody, but, hey, if Apple approved it then it must have some merit.
It’s all too easy for many to complain about just about everything, but I think even Apple is just beginning to realize the potential power and impact this new platform will have in the world. It shouldn’t be too hard to keep up with the innovation in order to maintain its sizable lead.
I think a greater danger might be Apple becoming complacent because everyone else seems to not get what makes the iPhone so great compared to the rest.
It would be nice if the Pre or Blackberry could improve the quality of their user interfaces. (Blackberry needs to work harder, the Pre is way ahead.)
The problem is, those competitors to Apple don’t have the freedom that Apple has to do what they want. They answer to stockholders and accountants with finely-tuned spreadsheets. There’s little hope in expecting them to think outside the box.
I don’t think there’s any danger of Apple becoming complacent–not while Steve is still at the helm, at least. Apple’s future is bright indeed under his leadership and creativity.
What’s missing, so far, from the competition are comparably brilliant and concerted master plans such as Apple’s. Apple’s started a decade ago when it bet its future on OS X. Few could see the real significance of that sea change. Perhaps Steve couldn’t fully see it back then, either.
What followed, though, was a string of developments all built around what Apple called its “digital hub” initiative. All the parts had to keep working smoothly together.
How many times during his various keynotes has Steve mentioned, “We love music!” This was the spirit behind Apple’s innovative iTunes and iPod developments, which have proven themselves in the form of an incredible library of creative offerings from the iTunes store and even more incredible, and ever increasing, sales statistics.
The iTunes store is profoundly rocking the music, television, and movie industries with its success.
One might consider the iPhone to be a “spinoff” from the iPod concept–but what a spinoff! It’s not only rocked the phone industry to its very roots–it’s set it on its head!
But even after considering its astounding success in the form of the successive successes of three model versions in two years and the incredible success of the App Store, I think its most shining quality is its fundamental smooth integration with the Apple ecosystem.
I don’t think anyone, including Steve, could have foreseen a decade ago, with the postulated “digital hub” concept, the sheer genius of that concept in the form of these real accomplishments.
So the real “problem” the competition has is coming up with their own “genius” plans.
Though there’s actually no limit on the possibilities of that happening, the “limit” is sadly and too often set ONLY in those individuals’ minds–MENTAL barriers which can easily be changed if they would only be honestly regarded for what they were–mere considerations.
Speaking of the digital hub, does anyone else remember what Bill Gates did the week after Steve mentioned digital hub for the first time at the MacWorld in San Francisco?
The very next week at CES, Gates pulled a Michael Dell and pretended to invent the term, and talk about it like it had never been thought of before.
I guess they think inside the input field.
Not available in Australia either
The best part of this application is I can directly edit my images and give final touch directly from my iphone
