Hear ye! Hear ye! Adobe now offers a free Photoshop app for the iPhone! Grab your cell phone and get to downloading!
The app is set up as a companion to the photoshop.com site, also free to use. The features are similar to the site, with your basics like flip, rotate, crop, color settings and filters. The app looks fairly easy to use, and most importantly has full undo options for all the edits.
The integrated side allows you to upload directly to photoshop.com, but also keeps the edited photos on your phone if you'd rather. Learn more about the photoshop.com integration here.
Want to see the app in action? Take a look at this youtube review from IceflowStudios. Don't have an iPhone? No problem! Adobe has a list of other compatible phones on the Photoshop.com Mobile site.
Perhaps the most amusing thing about this release is that at the Photoshop world convention in Las Vegas back in 2007 John Loiacono, Senior Vice President of the Adobe Creative Solutions Business Unit was introduced for his keynote with a Steve Jobs spoof by Layers Magazine announcing a fake CS3 for the iPhone.
Little did they know that just two year later they would actually release one. Too bad the real app doesn't have an Onstar like help team... and Loiacono doesn't have a "Bye Bye Bye" ring tone.
With Adobe jumping on board the cellphone camera bandwagon, it is hard to argue that this is not an up and coming art form. The free-ness of this new app may give Chase Jarvis a run for his money, though it looks like The Best Camera app has a lot more features. Then again, he may just be happy with the legitimacy an app from Adobe adds to his new medium.
