With the improvements in technology, processors, RAM, touch controls, gestures, etc., most of the desktop tasks have shifted to smartphones. One can now click professional images, shoot YouTube videos, and more directly from their phone. We don’t need extra tools, and now one can edit pictures like a professional from their phones as well without depending on PCs.
When it comes to photo editing, Adobe Photoshop has constantly remained the best choice for professional and amateur photographers. You can use Adobe Photoshop even if you like to use your phone (for convenience) to edit the pictures. But in Android devices, Adobe Photoshop is available as Adobe Photoshop Express and Adobe Photoshop Mix which doesn’t offer as useful tools as the desktop version. Fortunately, the following apps can effortlessly replace these versions of Adobe Photoshop:
