- I am an illustrator. I have a XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro display drawing tablet and the iPad Pro 12.9 and Apple Pencil. Hands down the iPad is by far my favorite drawing tool to use. The Apple Pencil is more accurate, has a more intuitive pressure curve, and feels more natural than the XP-Pen pens do.
- Adobe Photoshop. Edit, composite and create beautiful images, graphics and art on desktop and iPad.
Photoshop for the iPad was built from the ground up, optimized to take advantage of Apples mobile hardware and operating system. While it’s still in its early stages, Photoshop for the iPad is a promising look at the future of mobile editing for creative professionals. Photoshop for iPad is not identical to the desktop software, but because it is based on the same code, the app looks and feels more like Photoshop than any other mobile app. Adobe says that the.
Adobe has finally delivered what many photographers and artists have wanted for years.
The company is releasing a full-featured version of Photoshop that can run on Apple’s iPads. The software, which has been rumored for some time, will be available in 2019.

Though Adobe has been investing heavily in mobile apps for the last several years, there hasn't been a full version of Photoshop available for iOS. Instead, there have been lightweight versions like Photoshop Express, or apps that focus on specific Photoshop features, like retouching.
Photoshop CC for iPad is neither of those. It uses the same code as the desktop software and, most importantly, has all its functionality.
With the software, you'll be able to move between your tablet and desktop while working on the same projects. As with other Creative Cloud-enabled apps, your work will sync across devices and you can pick up where you left off on a new device.
The interface will look familiar to regular Photoshop users, though Adobe has made changes to make Photoshop's maze of menus and toolbars a bit easier to navigate on a touchscreen (something we should all be grateful for).
The idea of a full, touch-enabled version of Photoshop for iOS has been something of a pipe dream for many creative professionals for years. Adobe made a touch version of Photoshop for Windows, but Apple fans haven't been able to take advantage of this tech because iPads weren't powerful enough to handle the software until the iPad Pro came along.
Speaking of the iPad, it's not yet clear which models will be compatible with the new Photoshop CC app. It would make sense for the company to target the more powerful iPad Pro, but Adobe says it's not announcing compatibility for the software just yet. But a fully functional Photoshop for iPad is undoubtedly a significant milestone for Apple, which is also due to refresh its iPad lineup very soon. So it's very possible we'll hear more about Adobe's plans during Apple's iPad reveal (the company has previously made appearances during Apple keynotes).

1. Tap from the toolbar to select the brush tool.
2. A small triangle in the lower right corner of the brush icon represents hidden tool options. Long press the brush icon to reveal the Brushes panel.
3. In the Brushes panel that opens, you can scroll through a list of default brush types. Tap to select the desired brush type and apply to the canvas.
Note: The brush type used in your previous session remains selected when you use the brush tool again. You can always come back to the Brushes panel and change your brush.
You can adjust brush properties from the floating options panel to suit your creative work.
To bring up the tool options, simply tap the brush icon from the toolbar.
From the tool options, tap an icon to select the attribute and modify:
- Color chip: The color chip allows you to choose a color from the color picker, enter a hex color code, or enter numbers for HSB, RGB, Lab, or CMYK colors. You can swipe the color chip vertically to easily switch between the foreground and background colors.
- Brush size: The brush size option allows you to choose the diameter of your brush, which can vary in size from 1 to 1000 pixels. As you vary the brush size, you can also see the brush tip preview beside the tool options bar.
- Opacity: The opacity option sets the maximum transparency of the color you apply per brush stroke. 100% opacity represents opaqueness. As you paint over an area, the opacity doesn't exceed the set level until you complete the stroke (even when you paint over an area several times).
- Hardness: The hardness setting controls the size of the brush’s hard center. Select a value that is a percentage of the brush diameter.
- More brush settings: Tap the three dots icon to bring up the settings panel. To learn more about brush settings, see More brush settings.

Swipe the color chip vertically to switch between the two colors in the tool options.
To access more Brush settings, tap the three dots () icon at the bottom of the tool options bar. You can modify more brush settings as desired:
- Blend mode: The blend mode determines how the active layer blends with the layers below it. Tap the blend mode icon to see a list of available modes. For more information, see Blending modes.
- Roundness: The roundness setting specifies the ratio between the brush’s short and long axes. Select a percentage value. A value of 100% indicates a circular brush, a value of 0% indicates a linear brush, and intermediate values indicate elliptical brushes.
- Angle: The angle setting specifies the angle by which an elliptical or sampled brush’s long axis is rotated from horizontal. Select a value in degrees.
- Flow: Flow sets the rate at which color is applied on your canvas as you move your finger or stylus over an area in your document.
- Smoothing: Smoothing produces smoother curves in brush strokes. Higher values apply increasing amounts of intelligent smoothing to your strokes. This option is most effective when you are painting quickly with a stylus; however, it may produce a slight lag time in stroke rendering.
- Use pressure for size: Selecting Use pressure for size varies the diameter of the brush based on the brush pressure applied while painting.
- Use pressure for opacity: Selecting Use pressure for opacity varies the opacity of the brush based on the brush pressure applied while painting.
In Photoshop on the iPad, you can adjust the pressure sensitivity of your Apple Pencil for more precise brushing experience while compositing. To manage Apple pencil settings, do the following:
- Tap in the upper-right corner of the home screen.
- In the App settings dialog, choose Input > Apple Pencil.
- Under Apple Pencil, set the Pressure sensitivity slider to make your brushing experience perfect while working in Photoshop on the iPad.
At the Light end of the slider range, you get dense brush strokes with soft pressure applied on the Pencil, while at the Heavy end of the slider range you need to apply firm pressure on the Pencil to achieve dense brush strokes. It is easier to obtain fine brush strokes when the slider is set toward the Heavy end and bold brush strokes when the slider is set toward the Light end. - Choose the appropriate amount of sensitivity to get the desired effect. Close the App Settings dialog when done and start using brushes on your composite.
Fine-tune your Apple Pencil sensitivity on a scale from Light to Heavy.
