The Photoshop for Ipad does not support the smart objects fully. This means I can double-click and edit an smart object without affecting the filters I have applied or the nested smart objects. Therefore, it is useless for me. I LEGIT SPENT $1099 AND BOUGHT an IPAD thinking it will be smoother than PC, plus my work (which is legitmate dependent on smart objects) will be loaded quickly. It turned out to be not working at all!

Uses and limitations of Smart Object

For now, editing a smart object is not supported on the iPad yet. However, you can open your cloud document with a smart object that you created on your iPad and edit it on the desktop application as needed. At the top of the Layer Properties panel, you will see a dialog that conveys the same message.
