As developers take an increasing interest in the Windows Phone platform, it’s little wonder its app store already has a sizable number of photo editing options to choose from.

If you’re yet to find the one that’s right for you, or just fancy trying something new, you’ll be interested to learn that the biggest name in the field of image editing has finally gotten around to launching an app that’s long been available for iOS and Android users.Adobe-Photoshop-Express

Released Friday, Adobe’s Photoshop Express is free and available for Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 devices.

As you’d expect with a company that knows a thing or do about image manipulation, Adobe’s mobile software offers a ton of options to beautify your images, enabling you to turn a disappointing shot into something that’ll have friends asking, “What app did you edit that with?”

Tweaking features galore

All the tweaking features you’d expect are present, including contrast, exposure, highlights, shadows, temperature, sharpen, and more besides. Got better things to do than spend time moving sliders back and forth? Then simply hit the auto-enhance button to see what Adobe comes up with instead.

Of course, you can also crop, rotate, flip, and remove red-eye from your images, with all of these features easily accessible from Photoshop Express’s main screen.

These days, no photo app worth its salt would dare omit Instagram-like filters from its offering, and Photoshop Express is no different. Twenty-two ‘Looks’ filters offer plenty of ways to significantly transform your image with a single tap. If you want 20 more, a $2.99 in-app purchase gives you access to its ‘Premium looks’ library.

When you’re happy with your masterpiece, hit the top right button to bring up a ton of sharing options, which include Revel, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram, which, incidentally, is still in beta for Windows Phone.

It’s taken a while for Adobe to roll out Photoshop Express for Windows Phone, but for many smartphone shooters looking for a versatile and powerful image editing app for their Windows Phone device, it’s likely to have been worth the wait.

Everything you can do in Photoshop for iPad, and what is still missing
photoshop for ipad guide 9443

Cramming software the size of Photoshop into an iPad app is no easy task. We've seen the Photoshop name on mobile apps before, like Photoshop Express and the new Photoshop Camera, but these apps are really nothing like the desktop version of Photoshop. That’s finally changing with Photoshop for iPad, a full -- or nearly full -- version of the program designed to run on a tablet.

Photoshop for iPad is not identical to the desktop software, but because it is based on the same code, the app looks and feels more like Photoshop than any other mobile app. Adobe says that the goal is to eventually achieve feature parity between the versions, but the app is starting slow by launching with only the most-used features.

Photoshop for iPad has a long way to go before it has all the bells and whistles of its desktop counterpart, but a new addition could give the tablet app a serious advantage. On Monday, July 27, Adobe began rolling out the Refine Edge tool on the Photoshop iPad app.

From the start, Photoshop for iPad has focused on elements that the touchscreen makes easier. The Refine Edge tool wasn’t among those original options, though the company previously shared that the tool was in the works. Adobe says the engineering and design teams needed to ensure the tool was familiar to use while maximizing the pencil’s interaction with pixels. Speed was also a focus on developing the tool.

Photoshop has long been the industry standard of photo editing, but Adobe’s latest mobile app takes the Photoshop name in a new direction. Photoshop Camera, now officially out of beta, edits an image before it’s taken. Available for both iOS and Android, Photoshop Camera creates effects that previously would have required a lot of time behind a desktop computer. Here's how it works, and how you can get the most out of it.
What is Photoshop Camera?

Photoshop Camera, or PsC, is what Snapchat filters would look like if they were made by Adobe. Powered by Adobe Sensei, the company’s artificial intelligence program, Photoshop Camera uses tricks like facial and object recognition to apply filters specific to the image. Only, instead of giving your selfie floral deer antlers, Photoshop Camera blurs the background of the photo, applies studio lighting effects, creates pop art, or adds a number of different effects.
