Adobe Launches Photoshop App for iPhone with AI Editing Tools

Adobe has officially launched a new Photoshop app tailored specifically for iPhone users. This app introduces advanced editing tools that were previously only available in desktop versions, such as masking, targeted adjustments, and layer control. Until now, Adobe's mobile photo editing experience was limited to the more basic Photoshop Express app.

The new Photoshop app comes with a subscription plan that provides full access to all editing features and premium stock assets. Additionally, it includes an upgraded web version that enhances the user experience across different platforms.

Adobe emphasizes that this mobile app was developed from the ground up, ensuring that many professional-grade tools have been optimized for the best possible editing experience on mobile devices. Users will benefit from workflows that allow for asset blending and compositing with the help of layers and masks.

One of the standout features in this new app is the Tap Select tool, which permits users to select and edit specific elements within their photos effectively. Adobe has indicated that this mobile version will be integrated with other professional software, such as Adobe Fresco, Lightroom, and Express, allowing for a seamless editing experience.

The introduction of this Photoshop app represents a significant milestone, as it is noted to be the first time that such powerful image editing and design capabilities have been made available in a single mobile application without charge.

Another exciting addition to the Photoshop mobile app is the implementation of AI-powered editing tools. This feature is powered by Adobe's Firefly framework, enabling users to perform creative tasks like removing objects from images, expanding the canvas size, and introducing new elements into their photos with ease.

Competitors like Google have also started incorporating AI-assisted editing functions in their own photo applications, and brands such as OnePlus and Samsung are following suit with similar features in their gallery apps.

To enjoy all the features that the new Photoshop mobile and web versions offer, users will need to subscribe. The monthly fee for the Photoshop plan is set at $7.99, while an annual subscription costs $69.99.

This subscription includes numerous benefits such as cross-device synchronization, a vast selection of fonts, unlimited typography options, and powerful tools like Magic Wand and Object Select, as well as Content-aware Fill.

The Photoshop app for iPhone is now available for download, with an Android version slated for release later this year. The web version of the app can be accessed through various popular web browsers, including Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
