Photoshop Gets Its Most Powerful Free iPhone App So Far – With a Mix of Classic Tools and Firefly AI
The new Photoshop app for iPhones offers desktop-style tools like layers and masking with Firefly AI image generation, combining classic Photoshop functionality with modern AI-powered features. The free version provides a range of tools, including Spot Healing Brush, Tap Select tool, and access to Adobe Stock assets, while the paid plan unlocks more powerful tricks, including Magic Wand, Object Select, and Firefly tools. With its release, Adobe has created a powerful alternative to smartphone photo editors like Snapseed and Pixelmator.
- By introducing this new app, Adobe is successfully reinvigorating Photoshop's relevance in the competitive mobile photo editing space, where AI-powered image generation is increasingly the norm.
- Will this move be enough for Adobe to retain its leadership position in the market, or will competitors like Canva and Apple's recent acquisition of Pixelmator continue to chip away at its dominance?
