Adobe Photoshop Express is a mobile photo editor for retouching, collages and color looks, available for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows. The app is free to download, and extra premium features cover more advanced edits. Smart tools handle cutouts, dehazing, retouching and noise reduction, while Fused Looks change only the foreground or background of a picture. Selective edits use auto-masking, and free automatic cutouts make a scrapbook-style collage possible in a few seconds.

People who shoot on a phone and post to social networks are the target: casual photographers, influencers, small business owners making product shots and anyone who wants polished results without learning desktop software. Beginners can apply hundreds of themes and effects in one tap, and more experienced users can use selective edits, face-aware liquify and advanced healing. Photographers who later want deeper control can send PSD files directly from a phone to Photoshop, so the app works as a quick on-ramp to the larger Adobe lineup.

Someone preparing a profile picture can smooth skin and apply makeup transfer presets, open closed eyes with the replace eyes feature and tweak facial features with subtle liquify adjustments. A seller can cut a product out of its background, then add borders, layouts and new backgrounds before sharing it. A creator can watch playbacks in the Discover feed, apply the same edits to their own pictures and post straight to social sites or messaging apps. Images can also be pulled in from Google Photos, Dropbox and Facebook, and the custom sticker maker turns any photo into a personal sticker.

Can I edit photos stored elsewhere?
