    Which tablet exactly?

    You must be running a full desktop operating system to use Photoshop and Lightroom on a tablet.

    Apple iPads and iPad Pros only run the mobile iOS operating system so they can only run mobile apps such as Photoshop Mix/Fix and Lightroom Mobile.

    Windows tablets (e.g. Surface Pro) usually run a full version of Windows 10 so you can run Photoshop  and Lightroom on them.

    What about an Amazon Fire tablet

    You can work out that answer from the earlier replies: The desktop versions require Windows or macOS. The Amazon Fire can’t run either, so the desktop version can’t run on the Fire. The only tablet that can run the desktop versions is a tablet running Microsoft Windows.

    Moving this discussion to the Lightroom CC — The cloud-based photo service forum.
