On-the-Go Photo Editing and Management Made Effortless with New Photoshop.com
Mobile Application
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today introduced the Photoshop.com
Mobile for Android software, extending Adobe industry-leading digital imaging
technology to users of the Google Mobile operating system. The release comes
less than a month after the launch of Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone, which
quickly established itself as one of the "Top Free" applications on the Apple
mobile platform. The Android application equips consumers with quick and easy
image-editing tools, color adjustments and instant photo-sharing capabilities.
Photoshop.com Mobile optimizes the camera-phone experience by allowing users to
browse for their photos online and on their phone, directly from the
application. The application is free and available today at the Android Market. 

"Adobe is excited to extend its digital imaging capabilities to Android phone
users so they can take control of their growing collections of mobile photos,"
said Doug Mack, vice president and general manager of Consumer and Hosted
Solutions at Adobe. "Photoshop.com Mobile is a great resource to edit, upload
and share photos in a few short moments. It`s the perfect complement to the
mobile phone cameras found on Android devices." 

Mobile Photo Sharing and Editing Features

Photoshop.com Mobile for Android offers essential, user-friendly photo-editing
tools like crop, rotate and flip. The Soft Focus filter can be used to create a
subtle blur effect, and for performing color adjustments such as exposure,
saturation, tint changes and classic black-and-white. Since all edits and
changes can be undone, users can be confident that their original photo will be
safe. After making edits on their Android device, users can upload photos from
their phone to their Photoshop.com account to view and retrieve their images at
a later time from any Internet-connected computer. 

In addition, Photoshop.com Mobile for Android offers features only available on
Android phones. Users can automatically upload pictures to Photoshop.com albums
in the background, even when the Photoshop.com Mobile application is not
running. Photoshop.com accounts provide 2GB of free online photo storage, which
equates to over 1,500 photos. Made possible by the Android API, the new
tab-based user interface enables users to view local and online content. Also,
the Android Photo Browser makes maneuvering through photos fast and convenient,
bringing users` complete photo collections right to their pockets. 

Adobe Photoshop Family

Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended are at the heart of the Photoshop
family, joined by solutions for users at every level who want to bring out the
best in their digital images. Photoshop Lightroom addresses the workflow needs
of professional and serious amateur photographers. Photoshop Elements provides
exciting tools and sharing options for photo enthusiasts. Lastly, snap shooters
can access Photoshop.com for free online photo editing to simply fix and enhance
photos and quickly share those images on social-networking sites or through
Photoshop.com online galleries. 

Pricing and Availability

The Adobe Photoshop.com Mobile for Android application is available as a free
download from the Android Market. More information on Photoshop.com Mobile for
Android can be found at http://mobile.photoshop.com/android. The application is
currently available in the U.S. and Canada only.
