The iTunes store is already loaded with photo-editing apps, but Adobe’s new Photoshop.com Mobile app (free, iTunes link) is likely to attract a following from those who rely on Adobe’s industry-leading software.
It’s somewhat surprising that Adobe went the free route with their Photoshop app. After all, you’ll have to fork over $700 for a license to the latest version of Photoshop CS4 software. Of course, Photoshop.com Mobile offers only limited photo-editing functionality, so it’s not going to replace your desktop version. The app includes the basics like crop and rotate, in addition to color correction (exposure, saturation, tint, black & white, etc.) and a variety of photo effects and filters. You can also store up to 2GB of photos at Photoshop.com or email your pics directly from the app.
The app looks pretty solid so far, but can it compete with established apps like Photogene — our favorite photo-editing application for the iPhone? Look for a full review in the future.
Photoshop.com Mobile is a free download at the iTunes store.

Perhaps Adobe will charge for the advanced version of this app in the future.
