When will PS mobile support RAW files? It seems like a very basic requirement since serious photogs shoot in RAW and of course LR already supports RAW.

 please improve the painting tools, needs smudge, dual brush, and persistent controls for flow, strength, opacity etc. Legacy modifiers ctrl, alt etc. incorporated into touch modifier button. Really no need to completely re-invent the wheel, just a solid version of photoshop free of bloat like we had years ago! Adobe Raw Convertor for ipad pro please please please!!!!  I’ve been a photoshop user since the software was a toddler, using it for commercial and personal photography and illustration. this mobile version needs a great deal of development to be as useful as the desktop version.  Waiting patiently but Affinity photo might just capture my heart in the meantime! Get a move on Adobe!!!!

I second this. I purchased an iPad so I could edit images when travelling and in the field - a laptop is too much to carry. It’s my own fault for not doing enough research, but I’m gutted I can’t import .ORF (RAW) files, and surprised adobe have released something unfinished and lacking in file support. So many tools missing as well!! I can’t see the sense in subscribing until these issues are addressed.

Please consider adding raw file support for photoshop for iPad!! Would like to not have to edit photos in Lightroom then transfer them over to photoshop to continue workflow.

The fact that iPad photoshop doesn’t allow for raw files makes it completely useless and powerless. The photoshop app is not any better than the free amateur apps offered at the App Store. I think it’s sad we waited so long for an app that is basically useless made up of features found in any other photo editing app in the App Store.

Amen. Creative cloud storage for lightroom is ridiculously priced and I refuse to waste my money on adobe storage when apple’s iCloud storage is actually AFFORDABLE.

The ability to edit camera raw or even converted .dng files in Photoshop Mobile would be really nice. A camera-specific, downloadable file from a selectable menu from inside the Photoshop app itself would be great. Then, only the needed files would be downloaded to the pad. Converting the raw file to a workable, in-app .dng by translating it when imported might work too. Once the raw is opened, photoshop would convert the file to the workable, in-app .dng or proprietary raw file, with the ability to save it as a tiff, jpeg, png, and more. Hoping for the ability to work with raws soon, excited to see the how it would unfold or how the Photoshop team would make it work!

Your kidding right, within the next year?  The app was supposed to be out “last year.”

I would really like the ability to import RAW files into Photoshop for iPad like I can with Lightroom.
