App Store additions: Photoshop.com released, Rock Band soon

***AppleInsider*** · 10-09-2009, 02:57 PM

iPhone users looking to edit photos on the go can do so with Adobe's new, free Photoshop.com Mobile application; and the popular Rock Band franchise is set to hit this month.

Adobe unveils Photoshop.com Mobile

The new Photoshop.com Mobile application for the iPhone and iPod touch allows users to edit photos, apply effects and share images instantly. The application also offers connectivity with Photoshop.com, an Adobe service that offers 2GB of free online photo storage.

"As the digital imaging leader, Adobe is excited to bring Photoshop.com Mobile to iPhone users," said Doug Mack, vice president and general manager of Consumer and Hosted Solutions at Adobe. "Now, with access to powerful editing and sharing tools, iPhone users are armed with the resources to document all of life’s unexpected moments, make them look their best and then re-live those memories with friends and family."

Adobe said users can make quick edits to photos with a series of finger gestures. And any changes can be quickly undone, allowing users to experiment and see what works without ruining the original photo.

Features highlighted by Adobe include:

Crop, rotate, change color with just a touch.

Give an extra glow with Soft Focus.

Get artsy with Sketch.

Apply one-touch effects like Warm Vintage and Vignette.

The 3.9MB application is available via iTunes in the U.S. and Canada only.

EA Mobile's Rock Band to hit this month

The popular Rock Band franchise will make its way to the iPhone and iPod touch in October, EA Mobile has announced. The rhythm game will allow gamers to play along with guitar, bass, drums or vocals to MP3-quality songs at three difficulty levels.

The game will offer solo play, or simultaneous multiplayer, including via Bluetooth. It will feature 20 songs, and also offer an in-game music store to purchase more tracks. No price has been made available.

Other features, according to EA, include:

Jump into Quickplay for casual sessions or take it on the road in Tour Mode.

Play along with 20 legendary songs from great bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foo Fighters, Blink-182, The Beastie Boys, and more!

Start out playing in grungy dives and work all the way up to stadium-rock stardom.

Collect rewards and achievements that provide replay value and depth to even the most experienced Rock Band veterans.

Very nice app. The ability to crop sold me.

Quadra 610 · 10-09-2009, 03:53 PM

Gmail Push, now Photoshop.

The competition (I'm looking at YOU, RIM) better up its game, and soon.

RIM has an awesome calculator app. And you can buy an optional brick for $50 to sync your Pre on.

I bet it's a grand showcase of their irrelevant Flash for iPhone platform thing. Screenshots looks so much like the app doesn't belong to the iPhone.

More like Apple's irreverant regards for Flash.

I an't understand why people are starting to limit the Internet. The beauty a success of the Internet is that anybody in anywhere can have access to all in it. That's a fundamental piece!!! Why US & Canada only??? why some sites are US only??? why some YouTube videos are US only???? that's really dissapointinggg

Quadra 610 · 10-09-2009, 05:23 PM

Good lord, is this app ever easy to use. And it's FREE.

I'm beyond imporessed.

Granted, I can do a bit more with Photoforge, but for what this is it's great.

timgriff84 · 10-09-2009, 07:23 PM

Shame its only in the US and Canada, looks like it could actually be an app there's a point to unlike almost everything else on the App Store.

Todays top 10 includes:
- The Idiot Test
- Snake and Ladder (I'm assuming by the title there's only one snake and ladder in the game)
- Alarm Clock
- Torch

And yet more stuff thats completely pointless or just a miniature website turned into an app.

"The 3.9MB application is available via iTunes in the U.S. and Canada only."?!?!?!
I hate when things are NOT released for the whole world. NA only?! WTF is wrong with them?!
Hey, Adobe, thanks for keeping the rest of the world away, you discriminating MFKR! Shame on YOU!

People, use GIMP and muck the b@stands from Adobe!

Adobe, I hope EU will find somethings to fine you one day as they did with Microsoft, and if so, I wish to be a very high fine, as you fully deserve it!
