Additionally, whilst I thought using a finger would make things more difficult in Photoshop, that isn’t really the case. It feels fast and snappy for most of the time (a rare exception to this is when applying a heavy artistic effect to your image), and this makes using the app a much more satisfying experience. One of the biggest benefits of stripping out unnecessarily complex tools and features for Photoshop Touch, is that it really does feel streamlined, with all the (mostly) unnecessary bloat cut out. Using the app: the feel, ease of use and performance
Furthermore, the design works well, and I have quickly adjusted to the different layout and location of tools from the desktop version without much pain. Not only does everything fit fine inside the 9.7” screen of the iPad, but there’s still plenty of room for the actual image itself. A nice little semi-secret feature here is if you double-tap any layer, you’ll get a 3D view of your layers stacked on top of each other – I can’t think of how this might be useful, but it’s really neat (it’s also rotatable).Īs you can tell, Adobe has fit in a lot of Photoshop’s tools, options and effects inside Photoshop Touch, and yet they’ve done it in a clever way. Tapping the button next to it opens up some layer settings - giving you the option to change the opacity and blend mode of the layer, as well as the ability to merge layers and delete the layer.

Tapping the plus (+) button lets you add a new layer, either as an empty layer, a duplicate layer (of the layer currently selected) a photo layer (importing an image) or a layer from the current selection. To hide a layer, simply tap the little circle in the top left corner of the thumbnail, and it will turn into an exclamation point (!) indicating the layer is not visible. If transparency is used in layers, you will be able to see through to what is underneath that top layer. Each layer is displayed as a thumbnail, and like on the desktop, the layer that is highest in the stack is what is visible. To the right of the screen is the layers palette.

Photoshop on your Mac or PC is still available for when you need to do complicated and advanced tasks, but for a lot of other tasks, you could probably migrate to the iPad and Photoshop Touch.Įnough with the introduction, let’s dive into our review of Photoshop Touch.
truck analogy that Steve Jobs rather famously explained. Sure, Photoshop Touch is still not as powerful as the desktop version, in fact it’s quite a distance away from reaching such parity - but it all comes down to the car Vs. It’s the apps that make the iPad great and Photoshop Touch is perhaps the prime example of the potential of the device and how flexible it is at becoming a great machine for a whole slew of different tasks, from reading, to writing, to viewing to editing and now, to using Photoshop for more than just basic photo edits. To me, it is the latest iPad app that has demonstrated that the iPad is for more than “content consumption” - that’s just an old myth now. Photoshop Touch is a powerful and capable version of Photoshop for the iPad, without a doubt. After a couple of hours playing around in the app (it accidentally went live yesterday, then Adobe pulled it) I’ve come away very impressed with what Adobe has accomplished. So when I finally got to try out Adobe Photoshop Touch, I was intrigued to see what Adobe had accomplished. I didn’t think Adobe could pull off creating a great tablet version of Photoshop, and I wasn’t sure the iPad would be a good fit for the tasks in Photoshop. At best I thought it might give you some good editing tools to fix and correct photographs, perhaps with some layer support and effects. I presumed it would be a very limited app compared to the powerful desktop app, or maybe just a slightly improved version of Photoshop Express.
When I first heard that Adobe was bringing Photoshop to the iPad sometime last year, I was sceptical.
