Adobe's Photoshop Touch Now Available for iPhone

by

Adobe today announced the release of its Photoshop Touch application for the iPhone. Photoshop Touch is the mobile version of Adobe's well-known Photoshop software, designed to bring core Photoshop capabilities to iOS. Previously, the app was only available for the iPad.

Rather than making the iPad app universal, Adobe is offering Photoshop Touch for the iPhone for $4.99. It includes the same features found in the iPad version of the app, including layers, selection tools, adjustments, and filters. The app also comes bundled with access to Adobe Creative Cloud and 2GB of free storage.

$15 for iPhone+iPad mobile versions are not that bad considering that the PC or Mac version costs over $700.

Not even close to the same thing...

aaaand I just paid $9.99 for the iPad last night and I thought, man I wish I had this on the iPhone instead.

Isn't it better on the ipad ? More space? And this SHOULD BE UNIVERSAL

I am sure that some will disagree, but this seems like a pretty blatant money grab. Why not make it universal??? :confused:

Does the App Store really need another photo editing app?

I already have bought the Snapseed and iPhoto App for iPad/iPhone. If Adobe would have made this an universal App, I would have even paid $9.99 for the iPad App for the rare occasions where PhotoShop would come in handy.

But you can hardly do serious photo retouching on an iPhone, so this iPhone app should be a "bonus" for buying the iPad app instead of spending another $4.99...

So I would suggest to get the free universal Snapseed App for good and quick retouching on the road and maybe add the universal iPhoto app for $4.99 instead of forking that money over to Adobe under the current pricing scheme...
