Photoshop Express Launches Retouch Features
We’re excited to announce today that Photoshop Express, our all-in-one mobile photo editing app now includes a brand new set of features called Retouch. Our goal is to meet and answer our user needs for all their imaging social use cases and in a world of selfies and portraits, Photoshop Express brings you tools specifically designed for face & selfie retouching. In fact, in our most recent user survey, this was the number one feature request. There’s a variety of features - some you may expect like skin smoothing but others like caricature will be a fun surprise. Whether it’s a selfie you take by yourself or one with a loved one - our automatic face detection technology powered by Adobe Photoshop and Sensei will recognise the individual faces within the photo and make it easy and quick to retouch your photos and express yourself the way you want.
SKIN SMOOTHING
Natural and high quality skin smoothing that doesn’t wash out your features and keeps the integrity of your original photo or selfie. There are built in sliders to help you choose your preferred level of ‘smooth’ as our core imaging technology intuitively recognises your facial features and makes the entire experience seamless and easy.
CONTENT AWARE HEALING
Our healing tool is now better than ever - more precise, more powerful, but also even easier to use. It’s content-aware - meaning that when you choose an object or area to remove and replace, it recognises what’s in the photo and will make intelligent decisions on what to fill in that space. There are multiple options - spot healing and patch - that you can fine tune by adjusting the brush, opacity, feather, and blend.
FACE AWARE LIQUIFY
Our technology recognises facial features in photos, providing sliders that you can use to retouch any part of your picture that you’d like - with specific highlights for individual features as well as more holistically for your face. For example, you can change the rotation and angle of your head, modify any contouring, adjust smiles, shape features, and much more…
CARICATURE
I don’t know about you, but I used to love getting my caricature drawn by artists growing up. These days, you can create your own with Photoshop Express and have a lot of fun in the process. We provide sliders to exaggerate your facial features, including your eyes, nose, forehead and more.
OTHER FEATURES:
- LIQUIFY - one of your original Photoshop favourite features Liquify is now available in an easy one-tap experience. You can reshape, swell, or twirl any area of an image and it’s your choice whether you want to be subtle or dramatic - making it a great tool to retouch images as well as creating an artistic and unique effect.
- ADD TEXT AND STICKERS - just like other parts of Photoshop Express, you can personalise and customise your image by adding text and stickers so your photos are share-ready
