An app like Photoshop?

Hi Patience,

Your initial post here asked about Mac sofftware, but the one above says, "i tried over a dozen drawing apps on the iPad ."

Different platform, different set of applications. Questions regarding appications for iPad will get better responses in one of the iPad or iOS communities.

Regards,

Barry

Photoshop Express is available for iPad.

PhotoPad is a good photo editor. And it's free too.

This is by far the closes to your requirement:

Photoshop is the bomb, but the best (by my experiences) is either photo pad or photoshop express!

Photoshop Express have very limited functions when compared to Photoshop Touch

Basicly I have the same question, Photoshop for iPad, and if I had the iPad 2 the it would have been answered with Adobe Photoshop Touch, which looks awesome, but I dont. So dose anyone have any ideas? I also need to be able to open an existing PSD file within the app.

Use Autodesk Fusion. It is better and easier to use than photoshop... AND IT IS FREE!!!

Why have you responded to an over 4 year old post?

The Original Poster (OP) probably has found a solution by now.

Plus, as far as I can see and read, AutoDesk Fusion is some sort of CAD file READER (and looks proprietary with AutoDesk products) with some minimal mark up and alteration capabilities, similar to PDF reader apps that have minimal markup capabilities, too!

How is any of THAT functionality anything remotely like Photoshop?

As of now, the best Photoshop-like replacement for iOS is Pixelmator.

I was just trying to help. Autodesk Fusion is different. That is for designing things to 3D print.

Autodesk fusion is for 3D collaboration, what you should look into is Autodesk Sketchbook

Both OPs are looking for a PHOTOSHOP replacement, not a sketching app or strictly drawing app, per se.

Adobe has broken up full Photoshop into a series of smalller, iOS apps that do the many of the things full desktop PS does, but you need to bop around the various iOS Photoshop apps to accomplish many of of full PS functions and features.

A direct a nearly full featured equivalent image editor to full Photoshop on iOS IS Pixelmator which is nearly identical to its full Mac OS X computer equivalent with a few missing niggly features.

Besides, we are responding to a 4 year old posting.

The OPs may have already figured all of this out for their own, by this time.

best apps to use to edit photos on iPhone would have to be after light,lightroom, Snapseed and photoshop mobile apps.

SInce this is the IPAD TECHNICAL FORUMS and not iPhones or iPod Touches, Pixelmator IS THE BEST as far as the most functionality of that of its OS X brethren.

As I,clearly, stated previously in this pos,t Adobe has broken down full Photoshop into a series of smaller Photoshop apps that do many of the specific functions that full Photoshop employs.

So, you end up hopping to Photoshop app to Photoshop to accomplish tasks that were easier to do in full Photoshop.

Hardly a smooth, efficient and conducive way to work to edit images.

PIxelmator reads and saves in .psd format and performs a good chunk of the many important photo editing tasks in ONLY ONE APP!

Another Photo editor that is going to be coming soon for iPad is a nearly full version, bawls out, complete image editing suite on the iPad in the form of Serif Labs, Affinity Photo.

The developers are promising nothing less than a complete iOS copy of the full OS X version on an iPad.

Affinity Photo is one VERY GOOD and very well done Photoshop replacement image editor on OS X,

This app is being almost directly ported into an iOS version that will be near indistiguishable from its desktop counterpart.

This will blow Pixelmator AND all of Adobe's "Mini Me" Photoshop apps "out of the water!"
