Adobe Photoshop Touch for Android Announced

Adobe has just announced the new Adobe® Photoshop® Touch for Android Tablets.

John Nack has posted about it on his blog: Introducing Photoshop Touch including a video from him, and one from Russell Brown introducing the new features of Photoshop Touch in a short, 10 min tour.

Adobe’s Mobile & Tablet Apps page : What is Adobe Photoshop Touch?

Creative compositing meets multitouch fun in Adobe® Photoshop® Touch for Android tablets. Combine multiple images, edit specific elements, and apply filters and other effects—and get great guidance from interactive tutorials. Share your creations to Facebook and view comments right within the app. Sync your files with Adobe Creative Cloud so they’re easy to open in Photoshop for further editing.

• Create Layers

• Set Type – Add Text
• Built-in fonts
• Apply Edge Effects

• Photoshop Selections
• Photoshop Adjustments
• Drop out backgrounds
• Scribble Selection tool (drag borders to keep and remove backgrounds)
