I own PS Elements 15 and use it on my Mac.  I'm considering purchasing a new iPad with it's new iOS and pen.  What would I need to pay to be able to use Elements on the iPad?

    Photoshop Elements is a desktop application which requires a desktop operating system such as macOS High Sierra. See Photoshop Elements system requirements

    Photoshop Elements will not install or run on iPads which can only run the iOS mobile operating system and also don't have the hardware power required to run desktop apps.

    Adobe offers separate mobile apps for the iPad

    Adobe mobile apps for iPhone, iPad, Android | Adobe Creative Cloud

    You could try something like Photoshop Express for iPad but it won't have the full feature set offered by Photoshop Elements.

    Thanks, that helps.  I think PS Lightroom has a version that will run on iOS, so I may need to get my head around moving to that on both platforms.
