At last, Adobe Photoshop comes to the iPhone and it just might be great

Get the Full StoryAfter nearly two decades of experimentation on smartphones, Adobe s new Photoshop Mobile may have cracked the code on touchscreen editing.

After 16 years of experiments to bring Photoshop apps to the phone, Adobe is launching its most convincing attempt yet. Called Photoshop Mobile and available in the App Store today, it s Adobe s first earnest attempt to build a Photoshop on mobile with the same unique powers that have made it so popular on desktop.This new Photoshop has been built from the ground up specifically for the phone, where it can sync seamlessly with Photoshop versions on the web and desktop. An Android version is due this summer. Pros will appreciate a few big technical headlines: You can have an unlimited number of layers, and there is no restriction on file sizes. Vector drawing tools aren t in this initial release, but I m told Shapes are coming soon. Casual editors will want to know that the app is free to use, though many features will be tucked inside an 8 month subscription that comes paired with access to Photoshop on the web.
