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).
