I personally prefer to do my image editing on as large a screen as possible, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have the option of creating on-the-spot photo magic on the small screen. I use the term “small screen” loosely, especially given the recent growth spurt of modern mobile smartphones. Either way, I’m happy to announce Adobe Photoshop Touch for phones. Read More

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
