If you've had a chance to try Adobe Fresco, the interface is intentionally similar. The tools themselves directly reflect those on the desktop, down to the corner triangle on the toolbox buttons to indicate additional tools. I started by gathering a few 19th-century public-domain illustrations and a photo of Giant's Causeway basalt rock formations. To test Photoshop for iPad I wanted to build a quick composition. To start with, the app supports some of Photoshop's most popular workflows: retouching, layering, masking, and compositing. Adobe is transparent with its bit-by-bit plan to add capabilities and features to Photoshop for iPad. You'll find plenty of tutorials, including in-app interactive ones. We tested Photoshop for iPad using an 11-inch iPad Pro, a 7th-generation standard iPad, and a 2nd-generation Apple Pencil. It works with any Apple Pencil, but no third-party styluses. That includes all iPad Pro models, iPad 5th generation or later, iPad mini 4th generation or later, and iPad Air 2 or later. The Photoshop app requires iPadOS 14 or later and an iPad that can run it. Some other mobile photo apps require subscriptions for full functionality, too, like Afterlight ($2.99 per month), InShot Polish ($7.99 per year), and PicsArt ($8.99 per month). Affinity Photo also sells for a one-time price ($21.99). However, many of them are moving to subscription models.
