Adobe has released a new photo program for the iPhone and it’s designed to complement the company’s online strategy introduced with Photoshop.com. Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone lets users quickly edit images including crop, rotate, and flip, and they can adjust exposure, saturation, tint and add effects and borders and it’s easy to upload photos directly to the online version of Photoshop.com.

Photoshop.com has shown steady improvement. It’s reasonably fast and it integrates with online sharing sites including Flickr and Facebook, making it easier to publish photos. This app for mobile devices will make it easy to upload images taken with the iPhone and it will give users tools to improve those pictures, unfortunately, it can’t work miracles. So far, the iPhone still has a lousy camera.

When you use Photoshop.com Mobile on the iPhone it automatically pulls up the camera application on the phone and asks if you want to take or edit a picture. If you take a picture, you have immediate access to the edit tools and what to upload.

What do we think?

This is a simple tool, not worthy perhaps of a whole review but the whole process of downloading it and playing with it was just so spontaneous and simple—the interface with Photoshop.com online is so natural that it seemed worth sharing—especially since Photoshop.com Mobile is as free as Photoshop.com. If you have an iPhone, this is a why-the-heck-not? kind of app.

FIGURE 1: If the day ever comes when the iPhone gets a decent camera, Photoshop.com will make a lot more sense. For now, if you take pictures on your iPhone, then Photoshop.com is just the thing to crop, rotate, adjust, sharpen, and get it online. Better yet, get it online and then get to work.
