- Today, I review Photoshop for the iPad, and compare it to the real Photoshop running on the Mac or the PC. Is it better? Is it worse? Is it just plain different? Watch now and find out!

I like how they lied about full photoshop just to sell more iPads. Shocking. 🙄
Basically the same UI as Fresco, but with a somewhat different toolset. Some of the features missing here from desktop PS are in Fresco, mostly related to drawing/painting and animation. Fresco also uses PSD as its native format.
Hello, I need help with something. I'm using an iPad pro M2 and I'm an amateur photographer, I process the raw files I took in lightroom and save them to the gallery at 15 MB resolution when I export them. Later, when I open these 15 MB photo files in Photoshop, make a few simple corrections and export again quickly, the resolution drops to 900 KB and the image quality drops, I couldn't figure out where I went wrong. I'm an extremely uninformed user, by the way, do you have any knowledge of photoshop, I need help, thank you very much.
Any progress on the iPad brush engine translation for Photoshop painting? This is one of the key advantages to the desktop version. I've yet to use a tablet app that can emulate Photoshop brushes with the fidelity that the desktop version can produce. See Digital Paining Workflow - John Singer Sargent speed painting - not the same. It still takes ages to get the desired effects. If the brushes could perform identically to the desktop version, Photoshop would be mobile painting king.
so no patch tool and no high pass filter. didnt really see the liquify panel. just the fact that has no patch tool is a big NO for me already
How do u make a simple stroke using the marquee tool?
I assume this is a rhetorical question, as in “how can Ps iPad be THIS lame?” Then again, in case you’re *really* wondering, you 1) draw a marquee on a new layer, 2) fill it with black, 3) add a white Stroke effect (Ps iPad offers such things now), and 4) set the blend mode for the overall layer to Multiply. Which is NOT simple. Not like drawing a marquee and choosing Edit > Stroke, for example.
photoshop ipad can install plugin like pc ? pls
A graphic app without guides shouldn’t be even legal. Oh well.. But yes to Procreate and Illustrator reviews 😊
It’s certainly not like desktop PS but that’s understandable. I still love it because it gives me more freedom to travel and not having to completely adjust my workflow. I can now even work in every corner in my house instead of constantly sitting behind my desk. The only thing that I have to adjust to is my 24” Wacom tablet but other than that I’m perfectly happy :D
Well, there’s a rare vote in favor! (Personally, I vacillate.)
Yu like Wacom tablet better then iPads for editing ?
Are iPads even reliable screens for editing. Can they be calibrated and stay tuned like a pro stationary screen?
It is possible. I believe there are even solutions that work both with a Mac and an iPad, so you don't have to purchase multiple pieces of hardware. That said, I must admit, I have not experimented with any myself.
Now I can see layer effects…. May be a relook of features is necessary
Ps iPad now offers Drop Shadow and Stroke, as well as Liquify. For Liquify alone, I've been considering a revisit. But Adobe has been devoting so much effort to this-it really is amazing, given how long they previously ignored it-that I thought I’d wait until next year. Who knows? Maybe by 2024, it’ll actually be good!
is it possible to upgrade it like the pcs?
Yes, it updates periodically. In fact, I have an update video that sums up new features, such as Generative Fill.
Cant use swatches in ipad version?
No it doesn’t. I saw a workaround where you can store a document of colors in Photoshop proper, and then sample from that in Ps iPad. But given that you can’t view two docs at once, I don’t see how that helps much.
Such a pity .. especially for ala Photoshop
@@cosmicfxx Yup. This needs to be better!
I was really curious to see all the things that you mentioned and then said "but I will not show you that"...... :(
Do you have a time code? I’d like to respond to this if I can.
How come this isn't available for Android?
Idk. It’s not even available for iPhone, just iPad. A slimmed down Photoshop Express is available for iOS and Android.
@@dekeNow I think slimed-down is an understatement. This is mostly just a typical Android photo filters app. Not sure why it's even called Photoshop.
@@none377 Yeah, I hesitated to even mention it. Marketing, sigh.
USELESS! I downloaded the free trial and I can’t believe Adobe even released this. You can’t sharpen image, No focus stacking, No PEN tool, No real warp tool and many more things! PS is the Biggest brand in its field and the ipad version is joke! For years! My biggest problem is that all these features exist in Affinity Photo for a ONE TIME FEE of $20. PS is like $70 yearly. Thats crazy!! Ipads today are as strong as laptops and used much more often. The ipad version is NOT a professional tool. I will say Lightroom app works great on ipad.
This does seem to be the consensus. Would you like me to record an overview of Affinity Photo? It’s been on my list for a few months.
@@dekeNow sure. I have been using it for almost a year. Like always, there’s a small learning curve to get use to the UI. That being said, it has all the features you expect from a professional program. After finally willing to pay for the subscription for PS and after using it for the last month, I unfortunately can say it’s not worth paying Adobe for it. It’s surprising what Affinity offers s for just $20 (one time fee)
Still no smart filters…meanwhile every other desktop software for editing has launched a mobile version almost identical to its desktop counter part…allllll this money Adobe warrants and the best it can do is……..empty promises….utter trash. There are apps that can do smart filters……..Apps!, so if an app has the ability to alter photos how come Adobe can’t figure it out.
My guess is whoever’s in charge of the purse strings doesn’t want to allocate the $$. I’m sure there are folks on the team who feel deep frustration over it. Clearly, there’s interest among the customers.
What ipad is this, i mean is it a old ipad?
That I recoded the video on? Not especially. It’s 5th gen 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
@@dekeNow I see, I thought possibly there are features available on "better" ipads but I don't think so
No such luck. Altho, on the bright side, Ps iPad now offers drop shadows and stroke FX!
@@dekeNow Sooo at this point a better app alternative for compositing as close as on pc is…? Procreate maybe? I’m in a bit of a crisis since I wanna do retro posters on a portable device and I can’t decide between an iPad or a 2 in 1 laptop… what would you recommend?
@@alientripat I'm still very much into my MacBook as a portable and my big honkin’ PC as an expandable tower. But if I were to lean into one of my devices right now, it would be my iPad. Procreate is on my list of future videos, btw; I hope to get to it no later than September.
Procreate would be great to see.
I will add that to my list!
iPad photoshop is trash, I meant trash we pay for
Short answer. No.
This app is trash, far off from the desktop version 👎
If it’s any comfort, literally everyone seems to agree with you. Honestly, if I was Adobe, and I had an iPad app that invoked this much antipathy (sharing the name of the flagship application, no less), I might expend enormous and immediate resources to remedy that.
it’s a JOKE how bad and feature poor this app still is after all the years adobe has spent “developing” it… great video tho, thanks for the upload 💪
It’s as if no one sat down and identified those fundamentals things that make Photoshop Photoshop. Layers and blending, to be sure. Selection tools, layer masks, check. Destructive retouching tools, at the very least. But +/- zooming, channels, drop shadows, history, layer comps, guides, color management, the Pen tool, paths, *panels,* some basic edge filters-these are all pre-CS staples. [sigh] I could have been more catty, but I prefer to stay hopeful!
I firmly believe they keep it in the gutter to incentivise ppl to buy full desktop macs….
At this point they could just put Photoshop how it is on desktop onto our iPad but just remove the features that will not run on the iPad well
