Photoshop Touch



Photoshop Touch is a scaled down version of the real thing. Honestly, I've never used the real thing, but I love working with the app! Professional graphic designers complain about the lack of options, but for regular folks and students, that's what makes it so user-friendly. In my fourth grade art/tech class, we've been using PT to design historical presidential campaign posters using posterizing and filtering effects. The children had a hard time manipulating the colors and the text effects were limiting even for them. In addition, the fact that it doesn't save previous versions automatically led to some frustrating moments. However, they were proud of creating something professional-looking in just a few sessions, and they are excited to learn about the other tools.
