Adobe launches Photoshop Camera, one free application for mobile phones, which can modify your photos with a range of elaborate face filters
Adobe today released a new application that is called Photoshop Camera, which is packed with a range of sophisticated filters that can change your face and the world around you. Some of the filters are really impressive: many recognize the sky behind you and replace it with perfect clouds or a magical moon. Another puts you in a world of black mirrors and a third makes you look like a comic book.
The application is available free και λειτουργεί τόσο σε iOS όσο και σε Android. Το Photoshop Camera δεν έχει καμία σχέση με το Photoshop πέρα από το γεγονός ότι και τα two have to do with photos and that both are apps.
You can do some basic photo editing, adjust contrast, exposure, saturation, and so on, but you're usually just about taking a photo and then filtering it. If you want to make adjustments, there's a magic wand button that automatically calls up the changes for you so you don't have to worry about the actual settings. The application cannot record video, which is too bad because the effects would be a lot more fun.
The tricky task for Adobe is to get users to use their application instead of the many filters available within social applications that people are already opening, every day. Photoshop Camera looks great, but Adobe basically competes with any social media application as there are many great filters in Instagram and Snapchat.
But Photoshop Camera is really a fun application to play with. When you open it, you will find about half a dozen filter options, most of which have many variations. For example, the Spectrum filter, which has different versions, which can divide your image into many color ranges, place a geometric gap or cover you with stripes. But face filters tend to be quite complicated.
Adobe plans to add more filters over time, some of which will work with specific artists and creators.
For Adobe, the goal is also to introduce users to its large applications through smaller and less complex applications, in the hope that they will eventually turn some of them into professional paid tools.
