Edit Photos On iPhone Using Photoshop From Adobe

San Jose, California-headquartered Adobe Systems Inc has introduced a new version of its software product Photoshop for the iPhone mobile.

iPhone users can now edit the images captured or downloaded by them on their mobiles, using Photoshop.com. The application can be downloaded free of cost from Apple’s App Store, and is called “Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone”.

The application allows iPhone users to edit their images using gesture-based editing. Essential functionalities such as cropping, rotating, flipping are seamlessly available in the software. Additionally, there are special effects possible such as transforming photos such that they look like drawings using the Sketch tool, giving a soft blur to the photos to impart them an artistic look. The color across the image can be adjusted to “saturate” or “tint” mode, besides converting images to black-and-white and back again. What’s more, users can always undo their experimentation, so that the original photo can be brought back.

Adobe offers its users a free account on Photoshop.com. iPhone customers can open an account on the website and use it to upload and store their images and build a library worth up to 2GB, which is roughly equivalent to 1,500 photos.

New Voice-based Service From Tellme

Tellme Networks Inc, a Mountain View, California-based organization and 100% subsidiary of IT behemoth Microsoft Corporation, has announced a new voice-based service that reduces the number of buttons to be pressed on the mobile phone.

The new service allows users to use their voice to activate features of the phone. For example, holding the mobile near the mouth, when they say “Text”, their voice causes a text box to open. The user now simply speaks the text message, and then says “Send”. Now they can select the receiver’s name from their contact list and the message gets sent.

Similarly, users can initiate a call by simply saying “Call” to the phone, and then utter the name of the person they wish to call, from their contact list.

Further, users can search the web with Microsoft Live Search by speaking their request, for example, “Weather in Cupertino”, “burger in Alabama City”, “movies in Richmond city”, “Gift ideas for Valentine’s Day”, etc.

This new facility will soon make redundant having to use the finger and thumb-tips to keep pressing the small buttons on the text pad. Because of its intuitive nature, people are expected to embrace the new technology whole-heartedly, according to the press release. The new service is available for free on Windows Mobile 6.5 phones beginning fall 2009. Blackberry customers can download the product right away on their device by visiting the company’s website.
