Did you also seek for months in Appstore on the terms: “Adobe”, “Photoshop”, or similar?

No need anymore, Photoshop.com is now available for the iPhone!

Cropping
Cropping is made smart, taking good advantage of the touchscreen, placing a grid over the picture with possibility to move or change size of the cropped area. Rotate and flip are also available as sub categories.

Effects
Some effects I could live without, some are cool. The application is not technically as advanced as Adobe’s heavy desktop software which I notice most in this area where I feel some effects could have been replaced, such as the “rainbow”. It takes a long time to use compared to others and is not very useful. Being a free application, it is still more than I expected fom Adobe in the first place, however.

Exposure and other manual settings
By dragging your fingertip from left to right you are cleverly using the “slider” that is not really visible in this mobile version other than displaying the % or other value that are being applied upon release. Before dragging your finger over the screen, you start off with a suggested value that many times is quite alright for optimization to begin with.

Conclusion
As a former employee of Adobe, one could say that I would know what to expect. This time I got the opposite, admittedly. I was waiting an expensive, extensive app with questionable interface and user friendliness. I ended up with an easy, free and userfriendly although limited application, but still in the field of adding something new to the market. It makes me glad to say Adobe“Adobe is still up for surprices.
