In browsing through Adobe’s latest creations, I see they have introduced an Adobe Photoshop Touch app, currently only available for Android, that allows you to apply professional effects to photos with some of the more common commands that you would find in the full version of Photoshop.

Very seldom do I edit photos on my iPad given that the iPad2 only has a 5 mp camera most pictures are poor quality. In thinking this through, one instance where an application like this would be of use is in conjunction with untethered shooting options like Eye-Fi or Shuttersnitch (Get in here ). In those instances, you could make basic adjustments to show a client right on the spot. In that scenario it would be useful to have minor tweaking capability on the spot.

Certainly as the technology of the iPad evolves, this could be enhanced allowing more control out in the field. This will certainly not replace Photoshop ever, but the possibilities are intriguing.

Nikon’s Picturetown app is a nice way to organize and share photos with family and friends. The app is available free of charge in the app store. Some of the highlights include:

•Access to the user’s my Picturetown online storage site
•Ability to create photo albums
•Tagging and organizing images
•Ability to upload images taken via the iPhone camera

There are numerous apps that allow the same functionality as Picturetown, but for one that is free, it does a pretty nice job. If you need a more robust app, then this is probably not for you, but if you are a casual shooter, then this just might fit the bill. It’s worth a look.
