Adobe has announced that its photo editing system for smartphones,
the Photshop.com Mobile editor, is now available for Android
application developers.
Adobe said third-party application developers now have access to the
Photoshop.com Mobile for Android 1.1 editor. In addition, Photoshop.com
Mobile for Android 1.1 provides users of the Google Mobile operating
system with quick and easy photo-editing and sharing capabilities.
Photoshop.com Mobile for Android 1.1 also enhances the camera phone
experience by providing a collection of new editing effects.
Photoshop.com Mobile for Android 1.1 advances mobile photo editing
with effects such as Vibrant, to boost photo colors, and Pop, which
brings a ‘pop art’ style to images. The Soft Black and White, and Warm
Vintage tools can be used to add a classic and aged effect to photos.
With one touch, users can also apply changes to a photo’s look and feel
with Vignette Blur, White Glow and Rainbow. In addition, all edits and
changes can be undone so users can apply effects and know that their
original photo is safe.
“Photoshop.com Mobile is the ‘go-to’ photo editing application for
iPhone and Android devices,” said Doug Mack, vice president and general
manager of Digital Imaging and Rich Media Solutions at Adobe, in a
statement. “Unlike iPhone, the Android platform allows us to make the
Photoshop.com editor broadly available to developers so they can
provide it within any application they are working on. Photoshop
functionality can then easily be accessed from an online auction, real
estate or social media application so users can quickly fix photos and
make them look their best, before being showcased.”
Meanwhile, a new Android-focused developer site now allows Android
developers to leverage the Photoshop.com Mobile for Android 1.1 editor
to create other application workflows. The Website, found at http://mobile.photoshop.com/android/developers.html,
provides access to Adobe technology and promotes an ecosystem where
developers have more creative freedom when developing their software,
Adobe officials said
Adobe Photoshop.com Mobile for Android 1.1 is available as a free
download in all countries with Android Market in English only. To
retrieve the update, launch the Android Market application via the
Android device and search for “photoshop.com.” More information on
Photoshop.com Mobile for Android 1.1 can be found here.
