Is there a reason why you can't import from Lightroom on iOS but you can on PS Express, Mix and Fix?

We can only speculate here. My theory is the the much older PS Express, Mix and Fix are probably hooking into some tricky workarounds that could create future issues. Meanwhile, the new PS Mobile, wanting to be a modern and robust app, probably is constrained to specific formal access methods, and cannot risk tricky programming acrobatics. Anyway, that's my thought. 

Keep in mind that you can use Lightroom to "Open in Photoshop," you just can't import an image layer from LR while already in Photoshop. 

Here's another thought - you can't  do that on the desktop version, either. It's not a justification, just an observation. Perhaps this would make a good feature request: https://feedback.photoshop.com/topics/photoshop-mobile/5f5f2094785c1f1e6cc4087b

    Hi there. Thanks for your response. It is possible I am mistaken due to the fact that I am relatively new to Adobe software.  But on my desktop PS app, upon launch, in the sidebar under "Your Work," the first category is Lightroom Photos. From there you can open directly into PS. I am only using Lighroom CC and not Classic, if that factors at all.

     

    Am I missing something? Let me know what you think.
