Using Adobe Photoshop for iPhone to Enhance Photos on the Go (VIDEO)
Adobe’s long-awaited Photoshop for iPhone is finally here and today’s tutorial from the popular PHLEARN YouTube channel demonstrates the broad range of available tools and demonstrates how to employ them for quick and effective adjustments on the go.
Instructor Aaron Nace says his channel is the number one online resource for Photoshop and Lightroom users, and here’s how he describes today’s 10-minute video: “This tutorial covers essential editing skills including basic color enhancements, removing unwanted distractions, expanding an image with AI tools, and more.”
There’s also a link in the description beneath the video to Nace’s beginners guide for editing with photos with Lightroom Mobile. In either case, you’ll now have powerful post-processing capabilities in the palm of your hand.
Nace explains the versatility of Photoshop for iPhone and how it enables you to use your own photos, a new blank canvas, generate an image with AI, or edit an image from Adobe Stock. He begins by adding a photo from his camera roll, and he does that by clicking the appropriate icon on his screen.
The first thing you’ll notice after pulling up an image are some quick options that Adobe includes by default. These provide quick actions for several common tasks. For this demonstration Nace goes directly to the editor where he enhances a nicely-composed environmental portrait in several ways. His first step involves cleaning up his shot by removing some elements “we just don’t want to see.”
You’ll do this by using a two-finger gesture to zoom in on the photo. Then you’ll click on Retouch at the bottom the screen and select the Remove tool. Doing so creates a new layer and you’ll proceed from there by following the straightforward steps required.
The foregoing is just a brief taste of all the tips and techniques that Nace provides, and by the time the video concludes you’ll be very confident in you mobile image editing skills. Then pay a visit to the PHLEARN YouTube channel that’s all about enhancing your post-processing skills.
We also featured a tutorial recently for editing images on the computer, in which a globally popular educator demonstrates how she uses Photoshop’s improved Hue/Saturation tools in conjunction with the Contextual Task bar.
