Learn how to use default brushes to draw and paint with Photoshop on the iPad.

With Photoshop on the iPad, you can draw and paint with brushes—whenever, wherever inspiration strikes.

  • Adobe released Photoshop for iPad in 2019, and high-end camera manufacturer Hasselblad even has an app for tethering to the iPad Pro from its X1D II 50C medium-format camera. Hillary K Grigonis.
  • Jan 12, 2020 Keep your photos on your iPad looking sharp, stylized, and vibrant with a little bit of help from A Color Story. With A Color Story, you get access to over 100 different filters that tint and change the look and feel of your photos, adjustment tools like temperature, saturation, brightness, contrast, hue shift, exposure, sharpness, blur, curves, and more, the ability to add photo effects like.
  • Why Photoshop on iOS is a huge win for the iPad Pro It's a huge shot in the arm for the iPad Pro and another sign of where Apple's platforms are going in the future.
  • Adobe Photoshop on iPad is available to all Creative Cloud customers subscribed to Photoshop, or as a fee-based app at the App Store. Take this mobile device management course from PluralSight.

The iPad Pro hardware is extremely well suited for running Photoshop, with one major exception. Having only 4GB of RAM is just not enough to hold big documents (the iPad Pro with 1TB of storage has 6GB of RAM, which would certainly help).

Not sure where to begin? Start with selecting a brush type to create your composite.

Apple keyboard control key. 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.

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: Apple os x 2015.

  • 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:

  1. Tap in the upper-right corner of the home screen.
  2. In the App settings dialog, choose Input > Apple Pencil.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
Left: Primary touch shortcut. Right: Secondary touch shortcut.

While using the Brush tool you can activate the primary touch shortcut to access the Eraser version of your Brush, and activate the secondary touch shortcut to switch to the Eyedropper tool.

To know more about how to use the touch shortcut, see Touch shortcuts and gestures.

I talk with so many people who really want to move to a mobile workflow using an iPad, but they struggle with the importing process, which I have to admit has been the speed bump; the stumbling point (i.e. the pain in the butt), but some changes in Lightroom, and a feature of the iPad Pro finally make it all quick and easy.

Here are the two things that made all the difference in this mobile workflow:

Now you can import from your camera's memory card, directly into Lightroom

No more doing that dance of first importing your images to the Camera Roll, and then having to reimport them into Lightroom. Now you can go straight into Lightroom sidestepping whole Camera Roll business.

The iPad Pro has a USB-C port, so you can use your regular card reader

That means you're not just restricted to Apple's card reader, so you're not just restricted to importing SD cards. You can use the same card reader you do in your desktop workflow (provided of course, your card reader is on the new USB-C standard), so you can bring in Compact Flash Cards, and XQD or whatever cards you use in your regular workflow.

Lightroom on Mobile has really matured as a product over these past few years, and it just keeps getting better. It's really great on any mobile device, but it's stunning on an iPad Pro. So, if you've been waiting for that smooth, easy workflow for editing your images on the go, the planets have finally aligned for you in a few quick, easy, and hiccup-free way.

Photoshop is on the iPad now, too!

It's gotten much better, and got some badly needed features, since it was first introduced last year. So now you have access to your Lightroom and Photoshop workflow all on mobile as well. High-five Adobe!
