Finally Photoshop on Android…Well Sort of.

It now a few years since Adobe decided to end their mobile Photoshop app, which was called Photoshop Touch. Since then they have bought out a number of different apps, but nothing that gave the full Photoshop experience.

However, in February, Adobe released a mobile version of Photoshop for the iPhone, with a note that an Android would following later in the year.

That day has come, well sort of. Adobe have released a early version Beta of Photoshop for Android. Its available now from the Google Play Store, with terms that you complete a feedback form.

It looks very much like the iPad version, and brings, layers, adjustments, masks, text layers, selections and all we know Photoshop for, it has the built in Firefly AI, for generative fills and creation. Its seems to work smoothly, however the interface may take a little getting use to, as it not your usual toolbar type design, but I believe this has been done to free up as must screen space as possible.

The only thing at the moment is, this is a beta, so alot of the options are greyed out or states ‘coming soon’, but there is still enough features to make a multi-layered montage, snd save to the Abode Cloud.

I very much look forward to a full featured release, and finally having Photoshop in my pocket.

If wish check out the beta, head to the Google Play store.

You must have Android 11 or higher, and at least 6GB or RAM (although 8GB or more is recommended).

Photoshop on Mobile…Again.

Exciting news in the Photoshop world. A few years ago, well maybe more than a few, Adobe released Photoshop Touch. This was an app for Android and iOS, the brought Photoshop to your mobile device. It was in many ways ground breaking, as (at the time), no other app could do the things this could do. However, if you were a seasoned Photoshop user, Photoshop Touch could be frustrating as alot was missing, it was layer tied and in many ways you doing destructive editing (as apose to non destructive editing).

There were updates which did add some more features, but over time other apps came out that were much better at doing things than Photoshop Touch (Sketchbook Pro, Clip Studio and Painter, to name but a few). Adobe made the decision to end Photoshop Touch, and instead released internet/Adobe cloud based apps.

This is still the case, however, in recent years. Photoshop has been brought out on the iPad. Now, in February 2025, Photoshop is back on mobile, and it’s back to breaking ground.

An iOS version of Photoshop is now available for free from the app store. This version is very much like the iPad version with layers, selections, masks, adjustments, text engine, links to cloud so everything is synced, and even generative ai features. It really is Photoshop in your pocket.

As stated, it’s free however, Adobe has also released a new creative cloud subscription package called Web and mobile, which allows you to get additional features for both the mobile and Web versions of Photoshop.

But what about Android I hear you shout. Adobe has stated that Photoshop will be coming to Android too, but as of writing, just a …’in 2025′ is the time scale given. There are also some websites stating that, ‘While the full Photoshop experience is available on the web and iPhone, the Android version will offer a more simplified, mobile-focused experience.’ I do hope this is not the case, and finally, Android users are not pushed aside and forgotten.

For the time being, its iOS version only, and very nice indeed.
