Photoshop Express allows you to edit and fix photos on your Android phone.
In truth, this app is an extremely watered-down version of Adobe Photoshop, which is very limited in its functionality. Photoshop Express allows you to perform basic image editing tasks, giving you the option to select a photo from your phone, or take one using the device's camera.
You'll find three drop-down menus at the top of the Photoshop Express interface, from where you can access the editing tools. The first is for cropping, straightening, rotating and flipping images; the second lets you tweak exposure, saturation, tint, and black and white settings. The other drop-down drop menu only includes a soft focus effect, though hopefully more will get added in time, to bring it in line with the range of special effects in the iPhone version of Photoshop Express.
As you'll probably be thinking by now, this isn't exactly a powerful array of tools. Well, it's not, but then Photoshop Express is really just designed for quick photo editing on the move. If viewed in this way, it's actually a great success because the user interface is just so intuitive. The app makes intelligent use of touch technology. For example, Saturation and Exposure editing requires you to swipe across the screen to increase the intensity of the effect. Meanwhile, rotating and flipping is done by manipulating the image with your finger.
What's great about Photoshop Express is that once you've finished capturing and editing your pictures, you can quickly put them up online via the Upload tool. Of course, the catch is that you can only upload to the Photoshop.com site, but it's worth signing up for because it's one of the better photo sharing sites out there.
All in all, Photoshop Express is a decent portable, on-the-fly image editor. Just don't expect anything more than the most basic of imaging tools.
