Adobe Photoshop was traditionally reserved for the likes of art and design professionals. These days though it seems like every man, woman and child with a computer dabbles with the software. As if to confirm its place in pop culture, Photoshop now has its own iPhone app, in the shape of Photoshop.com Mobile.

In truth, this app is an extremely watered-down version of Photoshop, which is very limited in its functionality. Photoshop.com Mobile allows you to perform basic image editing tasks, giving you the option to select a photo from your iPhone, or take one using the device's camera.

You'll find four drop-down menus at the top of the Photoshop.com Mobile interface, from where you can access the editing tools. The first is for cropping, rotating and flipping images; the second lets you tweak exposure, saturation, tint and black and white settings; the third applies sketch or soft focus effects; and the final menu lets you choose from a variety of special effects. These effects include Rainbow, Border, Pop, and more.

As you'll probably be thinking by now, this isn't exactly a powerful array of tools. Well, it's not, but then Photoshop.com Mobile 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 the iPhones 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. Weirdly though, you can't pinch the screen to zoom into a photo. In fact, there's no zoom at all.

What's great about Photoshop.com Mobile 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.com Mobile is a decent portable, on-the-fly image editor. Just don't expect anything more than the most basic of imaging tools.
