Hi there. I've been using the Legacy Brushes > Default Brushes, that utilized the "natural media brush" engine on Photoshop for desktop.

These would feature tilt, erodable tips, fan brushes that responded to stylus angle, and the like.

I've just made, probably the most perfect pencil brush I've ever made, and I'd like to use it on iPad. But when I try to import it, I believe it says that it's not yet supported. What gives?

Please help.

Hi @JamesMM, welcome to the community!

Could you let me know which version of Photoshop on iPad you're using, and which iPad model you have? If you’re seeing an error message, a screenshot would be super helpful so we can take a closer look.

Thanks a lot!
Alek

Hey, @JamesMM. Thanks for sharing the screenshots; it helps. Have you exported the Brush preset (.abr) file from Photoshop desktop?
