Photoshop Express is Adobe's lightweight editor, and for combining photos it is mainly a collage maker. The listing says you can create a photo collage with ready-to-use grid layouts, then add text, stamps, stickers and custom watermarks. Retouching is quick: one-tap fixes for portraits and selfies, a blemish tool, dehaze, red eye correction and perspective repair, with RAW and TIFF import. Its video editor can combine several clips from your camera roll into one video. Premium starts at $4.99 a month on the US App Store, one of the cheapest subscriptions here, and adds more precise controls. What Adobe does not document is a double exposure, blend mode or layer tool in this app, so it suits side by side layouts rather than photos that merge into each other. It also needs iOS 18.6 or later, the newest requirement on the list, and takes 432.2 MB. The app has a 4.7 rating from 742K ratings and 100M+ Google Play downloads. We compared documented features and published prices.
