Photoshop Touch detailed Review/Walkthrough

For people considering purchasing this program, I have put together the following review/walkthrough of Photoshop Touch for Android.
It is quite long and goes into some detail on the majority of features available in Photoshop Touch, while also highlighting some of the major flaws. I am extremely concerned with correctness, so if I have made any mistakes please let me know and I will correct it as quick as possible.
Hopefully some of you find this review/walkthrough useful in your evaluation. It really is a rather amazing program, which with just a few flaws corrected would be one of the best apps available for Android!
To other PSTouch owners, what are your experiences? Do yours echo mine, are there things I have missed or items you disagree with?

That is a good point. I really should have made it implicit that you can no longer manipulate/edit/transform as text. The way I have it worded now makes it sound like you can't do those operations at all. I will alter it to match, thanks for the heads up.
Coincidentially, I actually find it out shockingly close it came to being Photoshop CS on a tablet! Frankly if it exported PSD as an option, it would be at the very least "good enough" for 90%+ of my tasks. I also bought Sketchbook Pro and witnessed it's evolution, and frankly, Photoshop touch launched in a much more complete state! With the exception of a few warts ( use the native UI!!!, even if just to map Back button to cancel! ), I am pretty much satisfied with it out of the box... except of course the (artifical?) limitation to PSDX and JPG!

Upgrading Photoshop Touch to ver 1.4?

I have just got myself a new Galaxy Note 10.1 with Photoshop touch pre installed. This was one of it's selling points due to the Note's S-Pen and i have been very happy with the Adobe product
The only trouble is, it is only version 1.2 and i see no way to upgrade this to 1.4 via Google Play or the app.
Though it is a decent price, it kind of defeats the object of advertising the app as free when i will have to pay out for just a couple of extra features such as the lens flare etc.
Is there a way to upgrade or do i have to buy the app and uninstall the one i have?
Thanks, Kade.

Photoshop Touch freeze

Hey guys. I recently purchased a AGPTEK Tablet that runs Android(Ice cream sandwich) and promptly downloaded Photoshop Touch, my main reason for buying the tablet. The only problem is that the program hardly ever loads past the initial start up screen, and when it does open none of the tutorial/project functions work. I've got plenty of room on my tablet and everything else seems to be working fine. I've even uninstalled/reinstalled the program with no luck. Any ideas?

Photoshop touch Project file not recognised

Hi
I have been working on a photoshop touch project with several photos as layers, it has been fine for a few weeks, but today it won't allow me to open it - it says not a valid photshop touch project. Other projects i have created are fine. So i recreated it, but when i saved it and reopened it it also gave the same error. Please help - thank you
I am using smasung galaxy note 10.1

Rachel
I am very confused with the answers that you have gotten to your question. So, all, show me the error of my ways as I respond to what I think Rachel asked.
Rachel, you say that you are working with a Sony DVD Camcorder. DVD Camcorder's record to a DVD disc in the camcorder, not to a hard drive in the camcorder (like in Hard Drive Camcorder). So this is the typical scenario for getting your video into Premiere Elements in that situation. You did not mention what version of Premiere Elements that you are using, so I will assume Premiere Elements 7 for now.
Place your DVD disc from the camcorder in your computer's DVD burner drive tray. Open Premiere Elements 7, Get Media, and the the category "DVD (Camcorder or PC DVD Drive)". In the Media Downloader that opens use the Advanced Form of the dialog to import the VOBs from the DVD disc into Premiere Elements that is set with a project preset (new project dialog) = NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen, depending the camcorder setting for standard or widescreen. (Use the PAL counterpart if you are in a PAL region).
That works for most users quality wise. For some it does not. Then the typical route is to use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD content to DV AVI. Then you bring the DV AVI verison into Premiere Elements (project preset as described above) with Get Media/Files & Folders.

That is it.
If other than that, please go into further detail brand and model of camcorder as well as version of Premiere Elements in use.

Can i open and edit animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop Touch?

No, only regular static GIF images are supported. The desktop version of Photoshop does support this however.

Adobe Photoshop Touch Question / Issue

Hello,
I bought Adobe Photoshop Touch some time ago for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and I liked it so much. Of all the apps I had for photo editing, this one gave me all I need. I used to own Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my old PC so I wanted something for my tab as well. I was very satisfied by this app until my tab died some time ago. After a pain of service and repairs, the tab worked again but it had a new issue. Anytime I used the device on something more demanding (i.e. playing games ) the tab overheated a lot and the screen started to touch itself very much as, if it was pressed all the time. After some time of struggle with it I decided to wipe it clean and pass it out to a family member who would maybe dedicate more time to fix it.
Last month I bought myself a new device ( Sony Xperia Z ) and I was eager to get all my data on it and apps of course. To my sadness Adobe Photoshop Touch is not compatible with my device now, and it just sits there in my app list doing nothing . I could install only Photoshop Express but it does not give me the full access I had with Touch. I saw that there is another product called Photoshop Touch for smartphones and it seems to be the same as what I had only phone edition.
My problem is that I can not get this new app unless I pay for it and I do not wish to do that because I already paid for the previous edition.
My question is: Can I somehow obtain the Smartphone edition and the previous version ( which apparently is for tablets I suppose ) be removed from my Google Play account. I would purchase the smartphone version but there is no point in having 1 app 2 times.
I would happily like the staff to remove my previous version from my account if they would gave me the smartphone version and I acknowledge that the tab app was more expensive than the smartphone version and Adobe will not refund me the money difference nor are they obligated to give me the smartphone version. I am just asking if it would be possible because I like that app and it's such a shame for it to be in my app list and not be used. Thank you for your time in reading this and no matter what answer I get, I will be ok with it. Have a nice day .

I don't think you'll have much luck. PS Touch for tablets was designed for just tablets; PS Touch for phones was designed for just phones. Touch for phones came out a little later than Touch for tablets. (By several months, if I recall.) On the brighter side, if you ended up buying Touch for phones, you'd be covered no matter which device you had.
Both are very similar in function. I believe the only differences are their UIs; Touch for tablets is landscape-oriented-specific while Touch for phones is portrait-oriented. (Some elements are also placed differently.) I imagine this allows for maximum utilization of screen real estate and element placement.

Adobe Photoshop touch to Mac and back without adobe cloud costs & privacy issues.

How do I transfer files between Adobe Photoshop touch and my adobe creative suite applications on my mackintosh computer? I do not want to pay for additional adobe cloud services. In addition I have concerns over the privacy of adobe's cloud for certain images. As a retired plastic surgeon, I have used Photoshop for years to help with public and patient education. Final posted images can have privacy concerns addressed. I do understand that I can transfer a single layer from Photoshop touch back to the computer by mail or camera roll. procreate has a Photoshop export tool.
Where is Photoshop touches export tool? if the only tool is through the additional monthly charges of the cloud, you are alienating loyal Adobe customers.

Thank you for your help. I have finally figured out and shared my first image. The fear was that I was going to be charged a monthy fee just by using the service. It would be nice if there was a footnote with something to that effect. All I was seeing was the monthy and yearly fees.
Finally found this, boy it was burried.
What happens to my files in the cloud if I cancel my membership?
If you cancel your paid membership you will still have access to the free level of membership, which provides 2GB of storage. You will have a 90-day grace period to delete files to get your cloud storage down to 2GB (or to purchase additional storage separately if you choose). If you leave more than 2GB of files in your cloud storage for more than 90 days, you may lose access to some or all of your files.
Can I access Adobe Creative Cloud without being a paying member?
Yes, there is a free level of membership for anyone who wants to explore Creative Cloud before committing to a paid membership. To sign up for a free membership, go to www.creativecloud.com and follow the instructions to get started.
What do I get with the free level of a Creative Cloud membership?
The free membership will provide you with access to powerful file syncing and sharing features, 2GB of storage space, free levels of Adobe services, and access to 30-day free trials of all CS6 applications and other Adobe desktop applications, such as Adobe Edge preview and Adobe Muse.
I will now try to figure out the privacy issues next. In the non public folder, who other than myself has access to sensitive photos? Trying to read the leagal documents is quite confusing.

I am member of creative cloud, so how to install Photoshop touch on iOS iPad 4 & not pay $9.99?

I am a new member of the creative cloud and I have had no issues installing the creative cloud applications on my desktop (mac and PC), however my question regards installing the Photoshop touch app on the iOS iPad 4 device without having to pony up the $9.99 iTunes app fee.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-photoshop-touch/id495716481?ls=1&mt=8
The above URL is the path that the Adobe website provides to download the app, and I can successfully access via iOS iPad 4. However it appears that I need to purchase the app for $9.99. It is not clear how I can use my yearly creative cloud membership to avoid paying the app fee.
Please advise if I am not looking in the correct place, or if I need to login via my Adobe ID to bypass this iTunes cost.
I could not locate an installation guideline on the Adobe website, so please advise.
Ken R. of New Jersey.

Yup, clear now.
I do like Adobe apps, but the price tends to be on the high side. I am a bit disapointed that the touch are not available via the cloud subscription, so I will stick with the desktop versions instead as they are more robust anyway.
I see that Adobe has removed this statement under the plans, when the link is clicked, so I am certain I will not be the only person to be confused regarding what is included.
Thanks for the follow-up, this was very helpful.

What Is the best way to upload and download psd files from Photoshop to Photoshop Touch? [was:Re]

What Is the best way to up load and down load psd files from desktop photo shop to photo shop touch? For on the go touch up or. I'm using psd files at 90 percent 300 depi when in photo shop on desktop. To ps touch

Hi Bford225,
I'd recommend using your favorite web browser and going to https://creative.adobe.com/files for uploading from the computer.
Keep in mind tablet capabilities are much less than a computer, so large files might take a long time to download and be very system intensive to work on. Although you can import files up to 12 megapixels I'd recommend something more mid range, like 6 or 7 megapixels, ie 2880 x 2160 or 3072 x 2304.
Also, PSD files are flattened when imported into Photoshop Touch.
Hope that helps,
-Dave

Hola Mauro:
Estás en el foro equivocado. Este foro no es para Photoshop Touch ni tiene que ver nada con dispositivos móviles como el iPhone o iPad.
Inténtalo aquí quizá:
Adobe Photoshop Touch for tablet [CLICK]
o bien aquí:
Adobe Photoshop Touch for phone [CLICK]
Debo advertirte que en estos foros, que son de usuario a usario, no te estás dirigiendo a Adobe. Todos los contribuyentes aquí somos usuarios como tú.
Para intentar que te reembolsen tu dinero deberás dirigirte a la tienda donde compraste la aplicación, no a los foros de Adobe, pues los usuarios no podemos ayudarte en nada en ese aspecto.
Buena suerte.

Adobe Photoshop Touch is not working properly on my Samsung Tablet

I just recently downloaded the Photoshop Touch App to my Samsung Tablet. The program will open and some of the tools will work, but MOST tools will not! I have attempted to clear the cashe, uninstall, and then reinstall the program. The problem persists. When will Adobe provide an update with repairs so that I can actually use the App I just bought?

Dear Guido.
We have followed instructions to uninstall and and then reinstall the Photoshop Touch program onto the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.
It is still not working properly.
NONE of the Fx's are working. (about 26 effects!)
The Fx's under the menu headings of... "Basic" , "Stylize" , "Artistic", or "Photo" do not work!
Under the heading of "Adjustments"... only Invert, and Black and White work... NONE of the others do!
The items that do work are... the Camera Layers, Layers and Selections, Image Blending, and the Basic FX called Gaussian Blur.
Croping image size, text, etc. under the & symbol also work.
So, as you can see....at this point we have purchased an App that is practically USELESS even tho the Google Play Store said that it was compatible with our device.
Please Advise, or Create a proper Update for this device,
Thank you

Adobe Photoshop Touch: Disable snapping in when moving pictures and text

Hallo,
I really have to disable that snap in when I move imported pictures or text in a file in Adobe Photoshop Touch but. I didn't find a feature yet to disable it.
Can you help me please?
Thank you.

For either importing images or adding text, there's a magnet icon with a checkmark in the options box; tap it to disable snapping.

Can I open a CS6 Photoshop file in Adobe Photoshop Touch for Phone?

I am trying to rountrip a ps file to/from Adobe Photoshop Touch for Phone to/from CS6 Photoshop on a mac. Is it possible? It seems (so far) I can create a .psdx on the phone and edit on my desktop, but once editing in CS6 PS, I can't get that file back on the phone for editing. Any ideas... or is it a one way street from phone to desktop right now? thx!!!

Hi there,
In general, the .psd format is fairly backwards compatible. To help get your files ready to be opened in CS3, follow this process:
1) Go to Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling.
2) In the menu, make sure Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility is set to always.
Just in case, you may also want to save your file as a .TIFF, which is a format that will also preserve your layers and is able to be opened in older versions.
Please let us know if you need any more information, and good luck with your project!

Where can i find the magnetic lasso tool in adobe photoshop touch? i used it all the time before but suddenly cant find it please help

i started my photoshop touch after some while and now i cant find the magnetic lasso tool it used to be there i used it all the time for editting but now i cant find it maybe i disabled it somehow. can anyone tell how to enable it again?

I honestly don't remember a magnetic lasso tool. (I've been using PS Touch since version 1.0.) The closest things I can think of are the Quick Selection Tool, the Scribble Selection Tool and the Magic Wand Tool, all located under the same set of tools (3rd set from the top in the tool panel).
