Adobe PhotoShop iPhone App Finally Available, Well Worth The Wait

It’s been a long time coming, now Adobe has officially launched their Photoshop Mobile app for the iPhone. The app offers quick and simply on device photo editing for both iPhone and iPod touch users. The program allows photos to be cropped, rotated and flipped and even saturated and tinted.

Additional features include exposure and vibrancy tweaking along with other effects and filters typically found on the full PC version of Adobe.

The filters are actually rather impressive, including converting images to black and white and even adding in “Vignette, Pop and Warm Vintage” abilities. The program according to SlashGear also includes a sketch tool which takes your photos and makes them look hand drawn, along with soft focus abilities.

Adobe is also throwing in 2GB of free Photoshop.com storage which can be accessed and upload and downloaded to directly from your iPhone.

The program is free to download from the App Store. Sorry but only U.S. and Canada Customers at this time.
