How to Integrate Photos in Photoshop

This article will show you how to combine photos with Photoshop on computers and with Adobe Photoshop Mix on mobile devices. You can purchase a Photoshop license or use a free trial on your computer.

Open Adobe Photoshop Mix. This application has an icon like two nested circles, usually displayed on the home screen, in the application tray or you can find it with a search engine.

If you don't have the Adobe Photoshop Mix app, you can download it for free from the Google Play Store (Android) or App store (iOS).

The Photoshop Express app (the regular Photoshop app for mobile devices) only supports editing one photo at a time. You can make edits by selecting 'Open' from the 'File' tab. However, Photoshop Mix requires you to purchase an Adobe Suite license to use it. You can try this app for free for 7 days.

Please register or log in if required.
