Live edit-ability of photoshop file on iPad Pro via Mobile Photoshop App

Report · Feb 07, 2023

Hi. Flipping love this program. Soooo much. A bunch.

Also, I love the mobile Photoshop app. It is my favorite way to create and edit the artwork for my puppets, backgrounds....etc.

My idea centers around, (what may be in fact, nothing more than ignorance) my perceived inability to edit/access the puppet photoshop file from my iPad Pro, in the way Character Animator natively uses the desktop Photoshop program(app? Am I supposed to call them all apps now? ****....).

I suppose what I'm looking to do is this: I'm editing/rigging a character in CA. I "edit original," and am given an option, either within CA, or possibly through PS, to edit the file from the iPad Pro.

In this perfect world, when the iPad version saves, it would populate the changes in CA, just like the desktop PS.

Hopefully I don't sound like an idiot.

Thanks!

Oh, no, you definitely do not sound like an idiot. 😃 That's a totally sensible request.

There's a bit of plumbing we need to do in order to directly support referenced artwork in cloud docs like what the iPad version of Ps edits, but we definitely want to get there. Seamless editing of Character Animator puppet artwork in the tablet based apps could be a pretty amazing workflow.
