recently got an iPad with the intent of doing some design work on photoshop & other softwares more mobile-ly than on a Wacom. I am struggling to find anything similar to the shift-click ability on photoshop desktop to help me make a stright line with brush, eraser, and other tools.

I didn't find it in the touch shortcut options and pressing the shift key on my connected keyboard does nothing.

This simple feature is so helpful for so many parts of my workflow and I seem to constantly hit a road block when I try to do it out of habit (from experience using photoshop on Wacom & laptop) and can't

I'm honestly unsure of my purchasing descisions with how limited the iPad version of photoshop is

I actually like using olde skool tool on digital device, find it quite funky 😄

You can also open the file in Fresco, which has a digital ruler.

I need to draw straight lines on th eiPad as part of my work, I also need to draw , outlines, call out boxes, boxes and triangles to mark up items on the image that need attention? Can't believe this isn't in Photoshop for iPad.

Please upvote this so the develops can see this "easy" implementation.

They've added features like touch and gestures to make the IPad's version of photoshop more accessible: it's easier to gain access to the tools.
With the 'touch' feature I think it would be easy to input the ability to make straight lines using this feature.

Hey, Randy - did you mark Jessica's answer as correct by accident?

She was actually asking a question.
As far as I can tell, Ps mobile doesn't do that.

So in the "normal" photoshop when you want your brush to connect a straight line to a specific place you just press shift and click. Is this feature on iPad? I can't find it and I use it a lot. Thanks!
