Adobe Photoshop has entered the mobile market: iPhone users can experience it first, and the Android version will be coming soon.

Adobe recently released its highly anticipated iPhone version of the Photoshop application, marking the industry-leading creative software's first entry into the smartphone platform. On Tuesday, Adobe stated that this mobile release is a complement to its existing iPad version of the Photoshop application, and plans to release a version for Alphabet Inc. Class C (GOOGL.US) Android systems later this year. This free version includes many core features of Photoshop, such as the AI technology that can fill image blanks and the ability to edit photos in layers. In addition, Adobe also offers a subscription service for $7.99 per month, unlocking more advanced features for users. Adobe has long been a leader in the field of desktop design and creative software. However, the company has not yet achieved significant success in extending this advantage to mobile platforms. The competition in the smartphone photo editing app market is fierce, with Photoshop ranking only 29th in its category in the US after its launch. Currently, leading applications in the photo and video categories include ByteDance's CapCut video editor, Instagram, and Canva's editing app. Adobe's Lightroom app, designed for photo processing, ranks 9th in the latest rankings. It is worth noting that Adobe is committed to providing users with a powerful set of tools, even without subscribing to paid services, to ensure a quality experience. Its premium subscription plan not only includes the web version of Photoshop, but also provides additional features for mobile and iPad versions. The release of this iPhone application marks an important expansion of Adobe's business footprint, while also testing the appeal of its AI capabilities to a wider consumer audience.
