Photoshop Mix Adobe is mixing things up a bit on iOS (and Android) tablets.

Adobe’s latest app for tablets is a slick, touchbased tool for compositing simple double-layer images in a way that’s very reminiscent of what the full version of Photoshop offers. Admittedly short on features, Photoshop Mix is nevertheless a responsive and attractive package that could do with some fi ne-tuning. Dropping in and out of its various tools can feel a little confusing, and we’d appreciate some additional refi nement functionality, but for the most part, Photoshop Mix does a decent job of guiding you through its various areas. The integration of Creative Cloud tools allows you to save your compositions as Photoshop .psd fi les on your Camera Roll, so you can pull them back and keep on working on them. You can also apply various Looks and Enhancements to your images, though don’t expect Photoshop Mix to be a retouching tool — for that, we recommend the previously released Photoshop Touch app. Free and straightforward, Photoshop Mix makes for a fi ne addition to your stable of Adobe apps.
