Wondering how to Photoshop on iPhone. Fortunately, you can use Photoshop on iPhone to edit images on the go without having to turn to a laptop or tablet and the full version of Photoshop. The Photoshop Express app doesn't offer the full range of Photoshop tools, but it does allow you to do many of the things that you would do in Photoshop, and, best of all, many of the features are completely free. 

Editing on the go has never been easier now that Adobe has a full version of Photoshop for the iPad, but the complete Photoshop app isn't yet available for smartphones. That doesn't mean you need to turn to your tablet or laptop though. iPhone users (and Android users too) can use the Photoshop Express app to perform many of the image manipulations that they might want to do in Photoshop (if you need a new phone, see our pick of the best smartphones).
