![]() This is presumably to optimise performance, but we prefer software that lets us do what we want and suffer the consequences. That equates to about 2 megapixels for 4:3-ratio photos. The maximum dimensions for a project are 1,600x1,600 pixels, and anything larger is resized on import. It feels fast and snappy for most of the time (a rare exception to this is when applying a heavy artistic effect to your image), and this makes using the app. At its MAX 2011 technology conference, Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe® Touch Apps, a family of six, intuitive touch screen applications, designed for Android tablets and Apple iPad that enable anyone to explore ideas and present their creativity anytime, anywhere. That’s not an issue in desktop software controlled with a mouse, as the brush size is shown when the cursor hovers over the image and changes as you zoom in and out, but this isn't possible with a touchscreen. We also found that adjusting the brush size was a little confusing, as the size that's shown doesn’t reflect how zoomed in the image is. The touchscreen interface lends itself well to brush strokes but it's not so practical for making careful edits with the Eraser or Lasso tool, as your finger obscures the screen. It’s also possible to apply various effects as brush strokes – not just Dodge and Burn but also Curves, Color Balance, Temperature and creative effects such as Pencil. There are some unique strengths, too, such as the ability to preview a live feed from the iPad's camera inside a selected area of the project – perfect for rough-and-ready Photoshop montages. Distortion effects are thin on the ground, with no Liquify or even a basic Pinch/Punch, but the Warp tool goes some way to compensating. Colour correction is comprehensive, and there’s a decent selection of creative effects. If you don’t, try it with a 30-day free trial.

Read reviews, compare customer ratings, see screenshots, and learn more about Adobe Photoshop. Layer masks aren’t available but it is possible to apply a gradual linear or radial fade. Adobe recently released a host of Adobe TouchApps - Photoshop Touch (opens in new tab), Ideas, Collage, Debut, Kuler, Proto, and Carousel.Design, edit, and elegantly present your work using six new Adobe® Touch Apps designed for your tablet. There’s support for up to 16 layers, with a choice of nine blend modes. Inevitably, a £7 app doesn’t offer the same features as a £600 application, but there’s much more editing power here than the price suggests. The layout of toolbox, menu and layers palette feels immediately familiar, and operational differences to full-fat Photoshop are quick to get used to. ![]() The editing environment strikes a sublime balance of Photoshop-like sophistication and iPad-inspired touchy feely operation. ![]() Selectively applying colour correction in brush strokes is one of the highlights of this app The Adobe Photoshop Touch app we are assessing in this performance review is download at the relevant Android App store and will run on the standard Android. ![]()
