Great Until . . .

I love all the new filters and various sky replacements. It had four to five stars for sure. For the first two years there was a steady stream of new filters adding to the value of the app. Then about a year ago Adobe seems to have left this app behind. This wouldn’t be so bad as it ended up with lots of outstanding options. However, now all of the sky filters are worthless because it comes up with “No Sky Detected” on pictures that have an obvious sky. The same pictures it had once added clouds, stars, or even popsicles to now get the “no sky” message. I don’t know if any of this years iOS updates have created a need for an App update (haven’t seen any for a while) but as of now many of the app functionality is gone.

Not as good as it used to be

Update iOS16: Used on iPad Pro in landscape mode, my photo opens sideways! Not to mention in the middle third of my screen. Then I need to rotate/edit/save/rotate back to normal in my Camera Roll. In other words, PS Camera is not optimized for photo editing on iPad.
Former review:
Used to love PS Camera for taking selfies, as the unedited pics were excellent! Now, with recent update, all I get is the over-edited photo, automatically saved to my Camera Roll. Auto-save is efficient; however, I always saved the unedited photo. The auto-processed one makes me look 20 years younger, which is fine but fake! Also it always makes my face thinner, but my face is already too long and skinny already! Please Adobe, love your app but let us save both versions! Then, back to 5 stars. Editing photos is awesome in this app on iPad.

Great, but use more versatility.

We need to be able to add video and also to be able to use on computer and iPad as well. More filters and be to be able to create and add our own. Overall, the best outbreak and best out there but PS is the default, so I expect much more to have. I’m going to check out others and possibly update; nevertheless, test your might! In the words of the MK. Lol #brianryan

Truly Amazing Discovery!

I just discovered this app on my phone that is Photoshop Camera and it is awesome! I had Photoshop Express for years but I didn’t know I had this. I clicked on this app while editing some Christmas photos and discovered a dream world of photo editing tools. My camera with photo feed has many options to edit photo while taking it and also is connected to Photoshop Express with many exceptional editing tools. It’s all I’ve ever wanted and more in a camera and photo app and I finally found it! Better late than never! Thank you!

Lacks Image Quality Output

As is the tradition of Adobe, they don’t give you the ability to adjust the output image quality. So while you can import nice Apple ProRAW photos, you have no control of the quality of the JPEG that you’re saving. None.

It saves as a massively over compressed JPEG with zero choice on the amount of compression.

Come on Adobe. Give us the ability to save higher quality images. Thanks.

Photoshop camera is great!

I really like Photoshop Camera. The app works well and you can definitely make your photos stand out. The only problem is no one is making filters anymore for this app. The feature it has that people can make new filters for it is gone. I hope someone makes some new filters for this app or Photoshop makes some for it. Otherwise, this app is just going to die and everyone will forget about it and move on to the next app

PS Camera Instant Crashing

My app all of a sudden started crashing upon opening. I finally uninstall it and reinstalled. After reinstall and trying to sign in with Facebook, it stated that I no longer have access and the app is under development. I’ve never had any issues with this app before and use it all the time. Please help! I uninstalled Adobe Creative Cloud since I wasn’t using it, could this app have a shared file that may be causing this issue?

Great for editing, not for shooting...

Auto-save is efficient; however, I always saved the unedited photo. The auto-processed one makes me look 20 years younger, which is fine but fake!

Editing photos is awesome in this app on iPad.

Make saving to camera roll optional

The primary reason I have this app is so I can take pics that don’t save to my phone’s camera roll. On my phone, photos in camera roll are automatically backed up, and not every pic I take needs to be backed up. With the latest release of this app, saving to camera roll has now become mandatory. The app won’t work at all now without access to camera roll. Please change the camera roll functionality back the way it was (i.e. saving to camera is optional and up to the user).

Default open to editor

Love this. The auto adjust magic this app does is amazing. I would like to see the option to open the app directly to the editor instead of the camera. Camera is nice, but I’m usually editing photos I’ve already got in my camera roll or from Lightroom.

Wow, great free photo effects

Unlike most of the other Apple apps, this APP (and many of Adobe’s other apps) do amazing things with your photos, and mostly for free - no ads, no nagging, and nearly no limits. You can actually create fantastic effects and save them to your device or share them without having to upgrade or pay. I’m not sure what their business model is, but what their app(s) can do for you for free is amazing. I recommend this PS Camera app for interesting & creative photos.

Help find my pics

I recently got a new phone (IPhone 13) right after Xmas and after our vacation and when I was switching everything over from my iPhone 11 I lost access to all of my photos that I had on my photoshop camera app. The ones I hadn't saved to my phone. I thought when I transferred everything over that the photoshop camera app would transfer over with my pictures as well but only the app transferred and all of my vacation pics were gone. I can't find them anywhere . Please help

Awesome App! PS Camera doesn’t support Bluetooth Grips

I use PS a lot and I love how easy it is to use in the go! The only negative I’ve come across is that it doesn’t support my Bluetooth Camera Grip to take photos. You literally have to hold the camera and use the button on the screen. Weird - but I wish that could be supported in the near future.

No bulk download / transfer option

Picked up a new iPhone. Pics stored in PsC Studio on my old iPhone did not transfer to PsC Studio on my new iPhone. Also no option to bulk download photos from the app to camera roll. It’s readies to manually select each pic, download it and then transfer them to the new iPhone. Once pics are downloaded from PsC Studio to camera roll they can no longer be edited in Adobe Camera. Ideally, all pics would transfer in Studio from the old phone to the new.

Decent camera app, but saving photos is a huge chore

Edit: After I posted this review the app removed all my photos I hadn’t downloaded yet, including some vacation photos that I was in the process of getting downloaded. So after this huge set back I’m changing my review to one star.

I like this camera app better than the native app on my iPhone 12 Pro, but I tend to take a lot of photos at a time, and I can’t find any option anywhere to save multiple photos to my phone at once. It’s super annoying to have to go through them all one at a time, take off the filter it automatically applies every time (can’t find an option to make it not do that automatically, have to manual take it off every time) then safe it. Wish they would fix this, other than that I like it.

Great app until you use it on iOS 15…

I loved using the app. It helps with adding some flare to my iPhone photography. As of right now, there is an issue with accessing settings for the app after updating to iOS 15. Unable to select flash, ratio, and main settings. When I use it on an iPhone with iOS 14, it works fine. Would like to use the app like before. ☹️

The Greatest

Titles says it all. I paid for the PS App and I only used Lightroom for my photography. Found out I had access to all these cool apps for the phone such as this PS Lens and it’s absolutely amazing. I love playing with the photos and using the filters. 6 stars if I could

App ascending 'heights of glory' as it were

I had Ps when they first did it in '90's. It soon got out of my price range, though, and wow was it easy to use. Then it got REALLY complicated and pricey at $600. So I moved on. I got an iPad along with iPhone and the first PS (elements?) worked GREAT. Then support dried up and it was discontinued. So I moved on again. Then I saw that it came back so I thought I'd check it out again. I detest mice (and Wacomm peripherals) so I never wanted the Windows version again. But Apple stepped up with a great Pencil that worked as good as Gateway tablets and Acer stylii. i upgraded my iPad to Pro and with the Pencil now everything is just dynamite. I find the 'subscription' thing a great alternative to $600 upfront and I can limit it to just what I do which is primarily Ps and Fresco. Once I finish a piece, I put it on a site I like and can forget it and move on keeping just the final in my archive. The iOS version is just wonderful nor do I need all the bells and whistles of Windows complication. Even Elements was too much so I long ago got refunded for that.

I WOULD like to see more of the descriptive dropdowns when you hover over an option because icons bother me. I like text and plain simple English to guide me around till I get super-familiar then it is ok to turn off with just an icon. So let's see Adobe do a 'full' version for iOS, it's just the best!

So much fun

This app is a blast. It’s not much good for taking photos for the most part, but for goofing around with friends or ones I’ve already taken it’s amazing. There are so many different filters to choose from and most of them have three or four (or even more) variants! If you’re looking for a pro camera, look elsewhere, but for an entertaining camera, this is the app. Occasionally it will crash when trying to save an image with a moving filter to the camera roll, but that might just be an issue with my older model iPhone 8.

Response from developer

Hi Frog, thanks for sharing your feedback about the filters! We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing crash issues when saving an image with moving filters. How can we make this app better for you to take photos? Could you share more details at pscamera@adobe.com? When does the app crash? Which lenses did you use that caused the issue? Does editing a photo cause a crash? And any relevant screenshots would be immensely valuable. We'd certainly like to work this through for you. Thank you.

On the fence about this

A great tool for those who have little knowledge of design and want to make something cool. A shortcut and obvious giveaway of you are a designer trying to use this. Maybe it would be a good starting point to try to recreate these filters on your own or for inspiration, but true creativity comes from within and learning how to design what’s in your mind.
