Adobe has today launched a set of new applications for its Carousel photography service that allow users to gain access to their images, and edit them, from their Mac and iOS devices. Both applications are free and are available now in their respective App Stores.

Adobe says its new Carousel applications are the “only photography solution that gives you access to your entire photos library from all your iPad, iPhone, and Mac.” Some of its features, as listed by Adobe in its App Store description, include:

– Simply add photos to your Adobe Carousel photo library on your iPad, iPhone, or Mac, and you’ll instantly have access to them in Adobe Carousel on your other iPad, iPhone, and Mac devices.
– Easily crop, rotate, adjust exposure, and make other corrections, or lend your photos serious style with unique looks.
– Create a family photo library without the hassle of sending emails, handing off drives, and trying to figure out which photos to touch up or use in special projects. Simply invite family members to add photos to your library via their own Adobe Carousel apps, and let them flag their favorites so everyone can quickly find the best-loved shots.
– Share those moments that matter by sending your photos straight from Adobe Carousel to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.
– Snap new photos right from Adobe Carousel on your iPhone or iPad, and they’ll instantly appear in your photo library on all your devices.

The Adobe Carousel service was first announced back in September, and it gives photographers a “new way to enjoy their photos.” There’s no manual syncing and no storage limits — your photos are just there when you want them, on your Mac and iOS devices.

In addition to online storage and syncing, Adobe Carousel gives users the opportunity to edit their images using the same photo-processing technology found in the company’s Photoshop Lightroom software. However, access to the service isn’t free. Subscriptions start at a discounted $59.99 per year, or $5.99 per month. Normal pricing is $99 per year, or $9.99 per month. Users can enjoy a free 30-day trial before they choose to sign up.
