Adobe has taken the final step that thousands of users expected: Photoshop is now available native to Android. The announcement marks a milestone in the company’s mobile strategy and ends the historic gap between iOS and Android platforms in terms of advanced creative tools.
The application, developed in collaboration with the creative community, retains many of the key functions that have made Photoshop a reference in design and editing. Integration with layers, advanced selection tools, non -destructive settings and access to the cloud are just some of the characteristics that this first version incorporates.
“We wanted to offer an experience that I did not feel like a photoshop ‘trimmed’ for mobile phones,” said Ryan Hicks, photoshop product director. “This is not a simplified app: it is a professional tool that fits in your pocket.”
