Just downloaded CC for iPad and it's great. But, how do I open a CC file (image) in Photoshop for iPad and then save it back to CC?

 

Thanks!

Although cloud docs are the native file type for Photoshop on the iPad,  it is still possible to import and export files to and from Creative Cloud if you prefer.

 

To get a file into Photoshop on the iPad from Creative Cloud,  try this:

Import and open > Files 

select Creative Cloud from the "Locations" options

Navigate to the file you want

 

If Creative Cloud is not a choice, then you will need to add it to your file locations first.

First, open the Creative Cloud app and ensure you are signed in. Then add Creative Cloud to the list.
See the "Use third-party apps in Files" section at this link: Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

 

To save a file in Creative Cloud:

Click on the export icon in the top right (an arrow coming out of a box)

Select Publish and Export

Choose yoru file format, PSD is an option

Choose Creative Cloud fro the options

Navigate to the appropriate location/folder

Tap on "Upload"

 

Here is a link you might find useful for importing and exporting files in Photoshop on the iPad.

Create, open, and export cloud documents

 

I hope that helps.
