- It’s free for a limited time
- Creative cloud subscriptions unlock Adobe Stock assets and generative operations
After the release of Photoshop for iPhone Earlier this year, the largest app editing app finally achieved the Android in pro-grade form, complete with PhotoshopThe selection framework functions and generative options.
The free beta version of Photoshop for Android offers much of the same functionality as the iPhone app and has an intuitive interface that is specially designed for telephones, with a core Photoshop Tools such as layering, masking and mixing.
I still have to use the app, but I have looked at a demonstration of the possibilities of the possibilities ClimbAnd it looks super impressive, apparently one of, if not the most fully equipped and powerful photo editors for Android telephones.
You can import images of your camerarol, start with an empty canvas, use Adobe -Stockactiva and take a photo with your phone and then edit.
As a regular Photoshop -user I can’t wait to try the app on my Google Pixel telephone, and here are three tools that I will start with …
1. Tap Select
Simplifying the topic of Photoshop and background selection on a mobile phone is not a simple task, but what Adobe ‘Tap Select’ calls, seems to do the trick nicely.
During a demo, an Adobe professional led us through an adaptation of a classic car photo, using Tap Select to make image adjustments to only the car itself, and then to other topics.
Tap on Select proposes various objects in an image that you may want to selectively edit, which displays miniatures of this, and when you have made a selection, this will suggest a huge arsenal of photoshop tools such as color adjustments and so on.
Selection of the subject can be refined with the Brush Tools of Photoshop to add / subtract the selection when it has missed the brand.
And with these operations that work in the stratification of Photoshop, changes can be adjusted at any time in the processing process.
Tap Select is the type of tool that I can see using myself with almost any processing, and its implementation for Android phones looks well thought out.
2. Generative fireflieg
Adobe recently focused a lot of his energy In the development of fireflieg – The generative AI tools that are in the leading apps such as Photoshop. Of course Photoshop can also use these tools for Android phones.
For example, generative filling can replace topics and backgrounds as desired, no matter how imaginative your ideas are. Again, during the demo we saw these tools put into practice – remove parked cars in the background and replace surrounding trees for palm trees, with several generated options to choose between.
Of course there are limits to the possibilities of Firefly, but the Android phone version seemed to be just as powerful and efficient as the full version of Photoshop with the word prompt tasks it was allocated.
3. Conducting Adobe -Stockactiva
Although I have a creative cloud subscription, I generally do not use the ‘commercially safe’ Adobe -Stockactiva at my disposal, whether that is images or textures or other assets. On the mobile version, however, I see myself a good game with this.
Let’s say that I want to add text to an image, for which a huge selection is to choose from. I can then mask that text layer, change the letters with just about any texture or image of my choice of hundreds of thousands of stock activa.
In the demo we saw ‘Aloha’ text added to the classic car photo, taken in Hawaii, and then adapted with an image of a hibiscus flower in the letters.
I got away from the demo with the feeling that the scope of the operations that I can make into photos of my phone enormously and only limited by my imagination.
I am really looking forward to playing a play with Photoshop on my Android telephone to get a good feeling for it.
