Adobe Photoshop (Beta)

Adobe Photoshop Beta

The latest Android Beta version of Adobe Photoshop offers a glimpse into the future of mobile image editing, designed to meet the needs of creators on the go. Early users have the opportunity to access premium tools at no cost for a limited period, providing an exclusive chance to influence the development of Photoshop's mobile capabilities.

This beta provides a comprehensive suite of features, including AI-driven editing, background removal, and advanced photo adjustments such as automated selections and precise color corrections, surpassing basic filters. It aims to serve both novices and experienced users by fostering experimentation and learning in a user-friendly environment.

Beyond traditional photo editing, the application acts as a versatile creative platform. Users can assemble collages, refine images before posting, utilize AI to manipulate backgrounds, or add imaginative elements to their compositions. The tools facilitate a range of creative outputs from digital art and social media graphics to promotional materials.

Notable capabilities include constructing custom graphics and collages by combining multiple images; removing or replacing backgrounds; generating art through AI; creating thumbnails, avatars, mood boards, and other visual assets; and employing Generative Fill to add or remove content seamlessly.

The app supports designing collages, covers, and digital artwork by integrating various images into mood boards or personal projects. Its intuitive drag-and-drop interface allows for cropping and positioning without reliance on templates, promoting individual expression. Users can manipulate textures, layers, and stock images from Adobe directly within the app to craft unique designs with vintage or modern styles. This flexibility enables creation of mood boards, album covers, and scrapbook-style pages directly on mobile devices.

Generative AI tools further extend creative possibilities by offering monthly credits for complex edits—such as removing distractions with AI-powered tools or adding unexpected elements via text prompts. The AI-enhanced Tap Select feature allows for quick selection of people or objects, streamlining editing workflows.

Photo enhancement features include tools for retouching blemishes with Spot Heal; adjusting lighting and color with Adjustment Layers; removing unwanted objects or backgrounds; and performing localized edits without affecting the entire image. These functionalities support professional-quality photo refinement on a mobile device.

Designers can also create standout text and graphic content by transforming quotes into styled visuals using the Type tool, crafting memes, logos, or story slides enriched with overlays and textures from Adobe Stock. This facilitates branding and personal projects directly within the app.

Finished designs can be exported in multiple formats such as JPG, PNG, TIF, or PSD. Quick Export allows for instant sharing to camera roll or directly to others, streamlining workflow management.
