Much like the tablet version, Photoshop Touch on the phone has core Photoshop features like layers, advanced selections tools, adjustments and filters. We also packed in features exclusive to Photoshop Touch, like Scribble Selection for high-precision selections using only your finger, and Camera fill for real-time creative blending of your camera feed with layers. This app features the same creative filters as the tablet version, like Color Drops and Acrylic Paint, and also a new Ripple filter.

With Photoshop Touch and the Adobe Creative Cloud, I can start a project on my phone, continue it on my tablet, and polish it off at my desk in Photoshop CS6. Photoshop Touch will automatically keep my projects in sync on each device, at the full resolution and with all the layers intact. This capability is available to every customer with a free Creative Cloud account. There is no paid subscription requirement for syncing.

Give it a whirl & please let us know what you think.

Adobe Photoshop Touch has been inducted into the Apple App Store Hall of Fame! Thank you to all our fans for supporting Photoshop Touch.

Excellent. Here’s my favorite customer review o’ the day:

I absolutely cannot believe what this app can do. My faith in Santa Claus and all his little elves has now been restored. Surely in a world where an app like this is possible, they are real.

Restoring childlike wonder on a daily basis: that’s just how we do.

Photoshop Touch 1.4 is now optimized to work on smaller devices, including the iPad mini, Google Nexus 7, and Amazon Kindle Fire 7-inch and 8.9-inch devices. In fact, Photoshop Touch 1.4 will work on any Android 3.1 or later device with at least a 7-inch screen and a resolution of 1024×600.

Other new features:

• Smoother brush strokes
• Two new Effects: Lens Flare (under “&” menu) and Stamp Pattern
• Improved grid layout for projects, tutorials, and images
• New support for sharing to Facebook, Twitter, and other registered apps

This means that Photoshop Touch is optimized for both 8.9-inch and 7-inch screens, giving users a great experience on all recent Kindle Fire devices. (This does not include the 1st generation Kindle Fire, but only the newer devices running Android 4.0.)

The Photoshop Touch team is constantly looking at new devices and form factors and is committed to bringing the core Photoshop features to new devices. Please keep an eye out for additional updates coming and make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Adobe has done an excellent job fitting its leading image editor to the tablet form factor… Snapseed may offer more effects and photo fine-tuning, but Photoshop Touch is a different animal, offering a fuller set of image-manipulation tools, which earns it our Editors’ Choice for tablet-based image-editing apps.

• Retina Display Support: See your images like never before with the Retina display on the new iPad.
• Higher resolution capabilities: Work on high-resolution images while maintaining the highest image quality. Supports images up to 12 megapixels. 
• Two new languages: Russian and Brazilian Portuguese. 
• Two new Effects: Shred and Colorize 
• Smoother animation and scrolling in the organizer, tutorial browser, and file picker 
• New gesture to toggle 100% view and fit screen (three-finger tap) 
• New pixel nudging mode for precise movements 
• Support for Apple Photo Stream 
• Various bug fixes

What do you think? Where should we go from here?

• You may now increase the resolution to 2048×2048 with 10 layers. The default is 1600×1600 with 16 layers, but you can change it in Preferences. 
• Automatic synchronization with Creative Cloud 
• Available in 6 languages (English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Italian) 
• Added export to PSD and PNG via Camera Roll or email. 
• Improved rotate and flip image workflow. 
• Added ability to transfer images to desktop via iTunes [iOS only].
• Added two new Tutorials.
• Added four new Effects (Watercolor Paint, HDR Look, Soft Light and Soft Skin).

PS Touch is the Note 10.1′s undisputed S-Pen gem. Creative pros will find comfort in this tablet adaptation of Adobe’s über-popular Photoshop program, as most of the features, though laid out differently, remain intact. While it’s not a complete replacement for a desktop graphics workstation, the app does give pros some flexibility, letting them create on-the-go much the same way they’d do in the office or at home.
