iPhone users are set to lose their red eyes and crop their excesses, with Adobe bringing Photoshop to the app store with a free download.


Adobe today introduced Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone application, delivering Adobe digital-imaging technology to users on the go.
Photoshop.com Mobile provides consumers a way to edit photos, apply effects and share images with friends - with the flick of a finger. Integration with users’ free Photoshop.com accounts enables photo sharing and data back-up, saving them precious space on their iPhones.

The application is available free of charge at Apple's App Store.

“As the digital imaging leader, Adobe is excited to bring Photoshop.com Mobile to iPhone users,” said Doug Mack, vice president and general manager of Consumer and Hosted Solutions at Adobe. “Now, with access to powerful editing and sharing tools, iPhone users are armed with the resources to document all of life’s unexpected moments, make them look their best and then re-live those memories with friends and family.”

Photoshop.comMobile for iPhone provides seamless experience to view photos with full-screen previews and edit images with gesture-based editing. Users can transform their photos with essential edits like crop, rotate and flip. Users can correct and play with color by adjusting the saturation and tint, enhancing the exposure and vibrancy and converting images to black and white.

Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone also offers "eye-catching special effects". The Sketch tool helps photos look like drawings, and Soft Focus can give photos a subtle blur for artistic effect. Users can also apply dramatic changes to the look and feel of their photos with effects such as Warm Vintage, Vignette and Pop. Edits or changes can be undone or redone so users can experiment without the worry of losing the original photo.

After making personalized edits, users can upload photos from their iPhone to their Photoshop.com account to view and retrieve their images at a later time from any Internet-connected computer. Photoshop.com offers 2GB of free online photo storage, or around 1,500 photos.

I tried the app myself and whilst some of the more advanced commands were missing, the interface was fairly intuitive and the app will be easily accessible for anyone, even those not familiar with the desktop counterpart. The fact that it's free means that the app's a must-have for photo editing on the go, and expect this to race up the iTunes download charts.
