P: Import brushes and brush settings on iPad/mobile

I have been trying to find a way to import brushes to the new Photoshop for I-pad program, but I can't find a way. It seems like it's supported in it's sister-program Fresco, but somehow didn't get the support in Photoshop? I find this hard to believe since it is an essential part of Photoshop and one of the best features of photoshop.

Hello, I agree we should have the option of adding brushes In Photoshop mobile like we can in the Fresco app. When it comes to drawing compared to Photoshop mobile, Fresco is a very a limiting app.

I'm sure your team is probably already kicking around this idea:  I'm loving Photoshop Mobile on my iPad Pro, but still missing a lot of key tools in my Photoshop workflow.  I also miss the custom input buttons I can create on my Wacom and keyboard.  I have an external keyboard for some of my shortcuts, but I'd like to make custom shortcuts for Photoshop Mobile.  Also, why couldn't I also pair my iPhone to my iPad and then place my custom brushes and other custom tool picks and quick adjustments there?!  Oooooh, that would really allow me to improve my workflow efficiency!

I love photoshop, but on the Ipad I HIGHLY recommend Procreate or Clip Studio which are both fully functional digital artist tools.

I couldn’t agree more. This why I bought an iPad.

Would like to import brushes from photoshop desktop. At least be able to save a new brush in photoshop mobile would be helpful. Presets??? Where are they? When will they be coming???

Photoshop on the iPad does not currently support importing brushes, but you can vote for the feature here so we can log your interest: Photoshop Mobile: Import brushes and brush settings

 

Photoshop on the ipad version 1.0 was focused on basic compositing, retouching, masking , and other common tasks. We will add many more features moving forward and we appreciate your feedback regarding those that you believe are the highest priority for your workflow. For an idea of what is coming soon, you can see this link:  https://theblog.adobe.com/photoshop-reimagined-for-ipad-the-journey/

like Pattie-F said,  brush importing isn't available yet, but it's going to be there soon.  Just be patient.

Will we get more options for artists? Will we be able to download the Kyle T Webster brushes and other custom brushes to give us more variety and consistency between the mobile and desktop app? I am very happy we are gifted the ability to have as many layers (unlike
Sketch) and to be able to open large projects we are working back and forth on the desktop app;this is very beneficial for travel. But if I am not able to use the same brushes I started with on the desktop, it will be difficult to switch to this app.

Yes please! The mobile app needs the same brushes and brush costumizaton settings as the desktop Photoshop has. I would really like to use my accustomed brushes as well.

Can I upload my brush set from my desk Photoshop to my new ipad photoshop app?   and do they actually work or is there a lag? I saw some bad comments about that on the app store
