If you were to ask any pro photographer what’s the best software for their work, most would reply with the same answer.

The first person to make that distinction was the great 20th-century photographer Eve Arnold, who retouched her photos using Photoshop for a good number of years, long before it became standard procedure. For now, just know that you can, in theory, retouch a photo even using Photoshop.

One of the most important features of Photoshop is that you can make modifications (most of the time) to an image using a number of “tools” - such as lasso, marquee, and brush tools, most of which you can find on a menu bar or toolbar. You can use Photoshop to retouch a photo, but that doesn’t make it a retouching program. There is a crucial distinction between editing and retouching.

This app, released for iPhone and iPad, is called Photoshop Express. Adobe has released a version of Photoshop for mobile devices.
