The only remotely redeeming decision on Adobe's part was to include it in the photography plan, but than again, it seems more like an extended public beta, rather than anything else.Clip Studio Paint on the iPad. 'Gimme money' and we'll work on some features someday, maybe. The in app purchase feels like a shady kickstarter for software. On top of that, the pricing is absurd for the offered functionality. I could do the same tasks faster in Affinity photo for iPad (even though I'm not a fan of their UI) PS is not even ahead in terms of speed and perceived brush latency (30 mpix files with a few layers, healing vs inpainting brush, Apple Pencil on iPad Pro 11) even though it seems a much less complex app at the moment. Right now, Affinity Photo IS the most professional retouching/photo editing app for iOS - and that is, sadly, the point here. fully featured seems years away if all they could reliably deliver within one year from announcement is an app, which basically mimics the functionality already present in for a long time in adobe mobile apps alone, not to mention a ton of ther apps which do some tasks much better. no curves? no raw support? This is basic stuff. Photoshop for iPad was more than a year in development.Īdobe and Apple advertised it as full fledged photoshop back then.

When can we expect a tool that is actually usable as a standalone app? If Ps will be developed at a similar pace, I'm not optimistic, to put it lightly. It took lightroom mobile about 3 years to get to a more or less useable state, and one of the most important features, batch adjustment, was added just recently for iOS. Yet I can only see myself using this instead of a desktop app + wacom tablet if I'm doing some light work and need to lie down on a couch or sth. Right now, the only tool that is usable for me is the healing brush. No curves, no advanced color balance tools, no advanced selection tools, hardly any features at all, quite frankly. I really had high hopes for a sensible mobile workflow for photography, but with all the iPadOS bugs and serious issues, and now this 'demo' of an PS app, I think we're still years from that.

Why not wait a couple more months and deliver a full bodied product? But honestly - with such a poor feature set - why bother with a public release? but this whole endevour seems like a bad joke.
