How to use Photoshop on your phone

Many traditional computing tasks can now be handled on smartphones, including photo editing. While the screen may be smaller and there is no mouse or keyboard, your phone is capable of handling enhancements and tweaks to your pictures on the go.

There are numerous photo editing apps available, but in this article, we will focus on Adobe Photoshop, a company known for image editing on desktops. Photoshop on phones is available as the Photoshop Express Photo Editor, which can be downloaded for free on iOS and Android. Additional advanced features and cloud storage are available for $4.99 per month or $34.99 per year.

Using Photoshop Express Photo Editor

While Photoshop Express Photo Editor on mobile is a simplified version of the desktop Photoshop, it still offers a range of tools for editing your images. The app allows you to make adjustments, crop, use the Heal brush for corrections, apply background effects, and even insert AI-generated objects into your photos.

Additionally, you can apply filters, combine images, add stickers, text, and borders, and easily share or save your edited images. The app provides a user-friendly interface for editing photos on the go.

Other Adobe options for mobile

For iPadOS users, there is a more advanced version of Photoshop available, offering features like support for PSD format, layers, and selection tools. This version provides a closer experience to the desktop version of Photoshop, especially when used with accessories like the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard.

Adobe Photoshop for iPad requires a subscription to a Creative Cloud plan that includes Photoshop. If you want Photoshop for the iPad only, you can subscribe for $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year.

Adobe Lightroom is another option for iOS and Android users, offering free basic features with additional features available through a subscription. Adobe Express is also available for iOS and Android, focusing on graphic design and AI-powered art creation.

Whether you’re looking to edit photos, create social media posts, or design graphics, Adobe’s mobile apps provide a range of tools and features to help you do so on the go.

The Creative Cloud plans are distinct from this offering, which can be accessed for free or with a subscription ($9.99 per month or $99.99 per year).
