Adobe Photoshop Now on iPhone, Coming Soon to Android

Adobe has launched Photoshop on iPhone, with an Android version coming later this year. This marks the arrival of image editing and design applications on mobile platforms. 

The new mobile app and expanded web experience aim to provide accessible and intuitive interfaces for new and established creators.

The iPhone app, made available from Tuesday, delivers Photoshop’s core imaging and design tools, including layering and masking, tailored for mobile devices. The mobile app and all-new web experience are now included in the current Photoshop plans.

Along with this, Adobe also introduced a new Photoshop Mobile and Web plan for $7.99/month or $69.99/year, which enables access to Photoshop on the web and advanced editing features on mobile. These include generating similar and reference images, object select, magic wand, remove tool, clone stamp, and content-aware fill.

“We’re excited to bring the limitless creative possibilities of Photoshop to mobile, making the app’s iconic image editing and design capabilities accessible for everyone from professional artists and designers to a whole new generation of creators trying Photoshop for the first time,” said Ashley Still, senior vice president and general manager for creative cloud at Adobe.

The free mobile app provides direct integration with creative apps, including Adobe Express, Adobe Fresco, and Adobe Lightroom, and access to a vast library of free Adobe Stock assets.

All current Photoshop paid plans include access to Photoshop on iPad and the web and will now include access to Photoshop on mobile.

Adobe emphasises its commitment to responsible innovation, adhering to AI ethics. Content credentials are duly attached to the content generated with Firefly-powered tools in Photoshop mobile and web. Firefly is commercially safe and trained on the content that Adobe has permission to use. 

Expanding on its existing AI-powered offerings, Adobe recently introduced the new Firefly app, along with the launch of its video model, making it a multimedia generation tool for users.

Adobe stated that the Firefly video model is the industry’s first commercially safe AI video generation model. It now powers ‘Generate Video (beta)’ in the Firefly application and ‘Generative Extend (beta)’ in Adobe Premiere Pro.
