Allowing photoshop to access my photos on iOS?

This makes no sense at all but I was fighting with this issue the same as a number of you it seems. I decided to give up on the Photoshop app instead and see if I could get done what I needed to do in Photoshop Express. When I opened a photo in Express it asked me to choose my photo allowance preferences, I set that on Allow All in Photoshop Express. I randomly had the thought, 'I wonder if the preferences are linked?' Went and opened the Photoshop app back up and I could import photos now. Hope this helps someone else fighting with the same issue!

Go to the photo you want to import to PS Express then click import. It will ask you to grant permission but just cancel. Then follow instructions to edit the pics etc. just what I did. Not an expert here but thought that would help. Cheers

Photoshop Express is actually a different forum, but thanks for the information.

Do you use Photoshop as well as Photoshop Express? I'd be interested in if the latter has features that might be useful to people with the full Photoshop version? Thanks

I have exactly the same problem. It's impossible to use the app.

Can you please provide a screen recording of the issue you are hitting? With the latest application and OS versions you should not be required to grant access to Photos to open photos from your device in Photoshop.

I am having the same problem too; there is nothing that allows me to allow access to photos. I also upated the app and still have the same problem. I would have thought that if there is a block on being able to move forward, that Adobe would have checked this out and fixed the problem. I can see it has been a problem for far too long.

Hello !

I've been having the same exact problem. I have an Ipad pro, with latest iOS update. I've tried resetting preferences, deleting app, restarting the device. On my settings, photoshop doesn't even show the photos allowance option... Can someone help ?

Thanks !

With the latest OS and Photoshop versions you should not need to grant permission to open photos.

Go to Settings and scroll down to the Photoshop application. Select the application then tap on Photos on the right side and allow Read and Write.

I am having a similar problem. There is no option to "read & write." The only options are "none" or "add photos only".
