Adobe is arguably the most popular content creation suite, known for our favorite photo editing apps on Android and a whole suite of video creation tools. Adobe Express is one of the apps in the company’s portfolio designed to make content creation swift and intuitive, irrespective of the desired output format. Adobe recently supercharged the app and Express web UI with Firefly generative AI tools.
The one thing stopping me from switching to ChromeOS full-time is Photoshop
Twelve years later and Photoshop is still missing ChromeOS support
I've used ChromeOS off and on since the beginning. Heck, before ChromeOS, I was playing with netbooks that ran Windows and Linux. I've loved cheap laptops for as long as I can remember, trying to eke what I can out of affordable and readily available tech. While I work primarily at a desktop these days (we all need a command center, don't we), after a long absence, I've also picked up a couple of Chromebooks to get lighter work done, with an emphasis on lighter.

Adobe Lightroom is already supporting Ultra HDR images on Android 14
Pixel 7 phones and newer with Android 14 can edit and export HDR images
With the launch of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, we learned that Google's newest devices would be the first to support Ultra HDR images. Building on the JPEG format, Ultra HDR makes for crisper images with more contrast and vibrancy. This is possible through an HDR gain map that is embedded within the image’s metadata. However, Ultra HDR image support has been limited to Chromium-based browsers operating on Android 14 or Windows 11/macOS. Now, Adobe is changing that with the rollout of Ultra HDR support within Lightroom.
Adobe Lightroom now supports RAW photos from mid-range Pixel phones
No camera matching profile and Lens Correction, though
You can easily capture and edit RAW photos on the best Android phones. And while Google's mid-range Pixel A-series don't have the best camera hardware, they can still shoot RAW images for greater flexibility in post. While there are plenty of photo editing apps for Android with RAW support, it is tough to beat the flexibility and prowess of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. While editing RAW/DNG photos shot from a mid-range Pixel phone in Lightroom for mobile was already possible, Adobe has updated its Camera Raw extension to add official support for these phones.
Adobe Lightroom adds support for Google Pixel 7's RAW photos
This will make your editing workflow easier
Despite packing the same camera setup as last year's Pixel 6, the Google Pixel 7 and its Pro sibling bring noticeable improvement to image quality. And if you want to get the most out of the cameras, you can always shoot pictures in RAW/DNG format for greater flexibility while editing. To simplify your editing workflow, Adobe has updated its Lightroom suite of apps and Camera RAW with support for the latest Pixel phones. So, you can now directly import and edit RAW photos taken from the Pixel 7 or 7 Pro in Adobe Lightroom and Lightroom Classic using the Camera Raw extension with full support for color profiles.
Adobe Photoshop will soon be free to use on the web
The company sure is reinventing itself as a freemium service provider
Adobe’s creative suite is still largely unmatched in professional environments, but the competition doesn’t sleep. Consumers and prosumers are increasingly walking away from the expensive subscription-based Adobe services, with many capable alternatives cropping up. In particular, there are some great web-based options out there, and now, Adobe is finally reacting by moving to a freemium model for Photoshop on the web.
Adobe Lightroom officially supports RAW photos from the Google Pixel 6
Along with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and S21 Ultra
One of the reasons many people love Google's camera experience is its ability to capture amazing photos just by pointing and shooting. Now that the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro come with upgraded camera hardware, they're also a prime choice if you want to edit your own photos too. Adobe knows that, and it's why Lightroom is now coming with support for RAW photos from the new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, as well as newer Samsung flagships like the Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Latest Adobe Lightroom update gives Android users some killer AI editing tools (APK Download)
These changes are tailor-made for mobile devices
Lightroom, the easy-to-use yet highly-advanced photo editing app from software giant Adobe, is getting some exciting new AI-enhanced features with its latest Android software update. It's all part of an effort to "re-envision" the app's selective adjustment tools while taking advantage of the thriving community of users.
Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator are coming to the web with big Chromebook implications
Take that, Windows
Chrome OS has a ton of great things going for it, but access to familiar software tools has long been a sore point. We've got Android apps, sure, and more recently Linux programs, but for a large part users on Chrome OS are restricted to using whatever's available on the web. That's meant no programs like Photoshop and Illustrator for Chromebooks ... at least, until now. Chromebook users (and web users in general) will be glad to know Adobe is launching a web edition for both Photoshop and Illustrator, so your Windows friends can finally stop mocking you for not having a "real computer."
The best ways to sign, edit, and annotate PDF files on Chromebooks
There's not one tool to rule them all, but there's a solution for everything
I've been using a Chromebook as my sole productivity machine for about a month now after introducing Chrome OS to my workflow over a year ago. While I've been surprisingly happy with the experience, it took me ages to find the perfect PDF reader to replace the excellent PDF Expert app on macOS. I ended up testing quite a few tools and created a fine selection of solutions that might help you find your preferred workflow for your PDF needs, too.
The idea of Photoshop on a phone-sized screen may sound a little funny, but Adobe's Photoshop Camera still does its best to bring pro-level AI-powered features to the masses on their mobile devices. The app exited its beta testing period earlier this year, and now it's adding support for a key feature that should make it much nicer to use at night — that's right, dark mode has arrived.
Latest Lightroom update lets you do more with color grading and watermarks (APK Download)
Plus a couple of premium features coming your way with v6.0
Abode Lightroom for Android is a powerful photo editor that lets you do a lot more with your images than just basic tweaking, and the best part is that most features are available for free. With its latest update announced at the recent Adobe Max keynote, the popular app is getting some big additions. Besides a more robust color grading toolset and the option to add images as watermarks, Adobe is bringing a whole bunch of new features to the table.
Premiere Rush updated with new video effects, content browser, plus lots of graphics and audio clips
Recent changes to pricing make Rush a bit more accessible
If you're psyched for the Adobe MAX virtual conference, beginning today, you're probably looking forward to some of the new features and improvements coming to the likes of Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and others. While the big names are obviously leading the show, there are also some pretty notable updates rolling out to Adobe's mobile video editor, Premiere Rush. This update brings new motion effects, a bunch of free graphics and audio, and a new interface for browsing that content.
Not all camera apps are the same, and Adobe set out to prove that with the Photoshop Camera. Making heavy use of AI, Adobe aims to stylize photos based on what it can detect in the scene. The latest update to v1.1 builds on this goal, but also introduces some of the features found in more traditional apps, like switching between cameras and setting a timer for shots.
This new Zeiss camera runs Android... and costs $6,000
Ever wanted to edit photos in Lightroom on a 4.3" display?
Zeiss may partner with Nokia now, but the photography company still makes standalone cameras of its own. The Android-powered ZX1 was first announced back in 2018, but it failed to meet its early 2019 launch date. Now it looks like the camera is actually coming soon — and it's got an eye-boggling price tag to boot.
Former Pixel photography chief engineer Marc Levoy joins Adobe to develop 'universal camera' app
Wish we could define some terms here...
Marc Levoy, former photographic engineer for Google's Pixel phones, has joined Adobe as Vice President and Fellow. The company describes in an email The Verge obtained that his assignment will be "centered on the concept of a universal camera app," but did not elaborate on the scope of said app.
There was a time when Flash made the web a more vibrant and fun place by providing easy access to games and video content. There was even a brief time when everyone wanted Flash support on Android. However, Flash was always a security nightmare and a drain on system resources, and newer web technologies have surpassed the capabilities of Flash. Adobe decided to wind down Flash support in 2017, and now we know when this once-storied web plugin will die for good: December 31, 2020.
Adobe's Photoshop Camera app is out of beta (APK Download)
Because the world needs more filters, and they may as well be AI-powered
Adobe first announced Photoshop Camera — another Android app that's not as good as real Photoshop — late last year before opening up early access to beta testers. Pre-registration for the stable version came a couple of months ago, and now it's available to all on the Play Store.
Adobe tests inserting intrusive ads in Android's share sheet and ‘Open with’ popup
It’s likely testing the waters right now with a small user group
When you’re a developer with a massive portfolio of apps, you’re definitely going to want to encourage your users to try out as many as possible. About a year back we spotted Microsoft trying something along those lines by shadily sneaking app advertisements into Android’s share menu if the user had installed even one of its other apps. Following in Microsoft’s footsteps, Adobe has now started testing similar install suggestions for its own range of apps.
