Stephen Nielson
Product Manager, Photoshop Touch
As the Photoshop Touch product manager, Stephen works closely with Adobe’s digital imaging engineers and user experience experts to help make the app the best it can be. He enjoys bringing the magic of Photoshop editing and compositing to a whole new audience.
Stephen shares his thoughts on Photoshop Touch.
Creative Cloud integration
"Photoshop Touch integrates with Creative Cloud, which means you can start a project on your phone and finish it on your tablet or back in Photoshop1 at your desk using a free Creative Cloud membership. Your projects are auto-synced between your devices, which means you can access and share the latest versions from just about anywhere.2"
Easy acquisition of exceptional images
"Whether you want to capture photos via a live feed from your device's camera or you want to bring in photos from Facebook or from a Google search,3 Photoshop Touch makes it incredibly easy to acquire images. Bring in files of up to 12 megapixels—and take advantage of Retina display support on iOS devices—to work with bigger, more beautiful images than ever before."
Scribble selections
"If I had to boil the app down to one feature, it's this: Take two images, remove the background from one, and then blend the two images together to create a new scene. The Scribble Selection tool lets you use your finger or a stylus to quickly draw on the foreground object you want to keep and the background you want to delete. Then tap Extract, and the background disappears."
Support for layers
"Photoshop Touch brings the power of layers to mobile imaging. Combine multiple images on layers, adjust the order of layers, and control layer opacity to create sophisticated composites. And layers are preserved when you bring them into Photoshop on your desktop via Adobe Creative Cloud."
Professional effects
"You get a range of effects and filters—everything from basics like blurs, glows, and drop shadows to stylized looks like Old Photocopy and Glass to more artistic looks. And you can apply them to your entire image or a specific layer or selection to get just the result you envision."
Social sharing
"Once you've created something you're excited about, you can get it out to your friends on services like Facebook or Twitter from directly within the app."
Quick tip
"You can double-tap the layer stack and then drag your image to view the layers in three-dimensional space, which is a cool way for newer users to learn how the concept of layers works."
