Photoshop on iPadOS – Missing Features or Hidden Gems?

Question

Photoshop on iPadOS has come a long way, but do you feel it is still missing key desktop features? Or have you discovered hidden tools that boost productivity?

Some pros & cons I’ve noticed:

Pros:

- Apple Pencil support makes retouching smoother

- Cloud Integration keeps projects synced

Cons:

- Limited brushes and smart objects compared to desktop

- No custom plugins yet

What’s your experience? Is Photoshop on iPadOS enough for pro work, or do you still rely on a desktop?

Let me know !
