Getting old features of ps touch in new photoshop app
Dear Adobe Photoshop Product Team,
I am writing to provide feedback on the current feature set of the new Photoshop mobile application (for iOS/Android), particularly in comparison to the functionality previously available in the retired Photoshop Touch (PS Touch) app.
While I appreciate the improvements in the new app, several core features from PS Touch are either missing or, critically, restricted to paid users. I urge you to reintroduce the following features and make them free of charge, as they constitute basic and fundamental photo editing and graphic design functionality on mobile devices:
Filters and Adjustments: The full range of creative Filters (e.g., artistic effects) and advanced Adjustment toolsthat were previously included in PS Touch.
Layer Selection and Manipulation: Intuitive and precise Layer Selection tools that made manipulating individual elements and complex compositions easy on a touch interface.
Gaussian Blur: The widely used Gaussian Blur effect, which is an essential tool for soft focus, depth, and creative blending.
Text Effects: Comprehensive Text Styling features, including effects like Text Glow, shadow, and bevel, which are necessary for creating rich mobile graphics.
Color Blended Text Editing: The ability to edit text with different color blends and gradients applied, which was a highlight of the older app.
Layer Blending Features: The full range of Layers Blending Modes (e.g., Multiply, Screen, Overlay). I note that accessing blend modes is currently restricted behind the premium tier in the new app.
My Core Request:
These capabilities are now industry-standard for any serious mobile editing application and are essential for basic creativity. Locking features like Gaussian Blur or all Layer Blending Modes behind a subscription significantly limits the app's utility for casual or entry-level creators.
By making these basic features free, you will ensure a smoother transition for former PS Touch users and make the new Photoshop app a more competitive and accessible tool for everyone.
Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to seeing these powerful, yet basic, creative tools made available to all users.
Sincerely,
Vijay Kumar (INDIA)
