Question

Back and forth

I've been working on a piece on my ipad using the illistr app, but since its just the basics, I need to do more on the computer. I know that I can get it onto the computer and edit it there, but since the pc isn't actually mine, is there a way I can do what I need to do on the computer and then put it back onto my ipad?

(I also don't know where I implied that I wastrhinking about photoshop, I was assuming illustrato, sorry for the confusio)

I would say that it's because you posted your question in the Photoshop forum.

We have lots of forums to pick from. Two you might want to bookmark:

  1. Illustrator
  2. Adobe Illustrator Draw (mobile app)

Would you like us to move this thread to the Illustrator forum, or are you all set?  When threads get a good few replies, then it stands less chance of being looked at, so if you do need more information, I'd be inclined to start a new thread in the Illustrator and or Draw forums, and add a link to this thread so responders can see what has already been said.

Good luck.

Also, you can get student pricing if you are in education. Have you checked to see if you are eligible for that?

I tried the email adress, but it apparently won't allow it since its with the same ip address. Weird. I could get the school discount

What app do you use on the iPad?

Is it something like Photoshop Express?

If yes, then I am guessing that it can not open and use layered PSD file, in which case you will need to save it as a flattened JPG from Photoshop, and copy it to the iPad pictures folder.  But that's just a guess, so tell us what app is involved and we'll try and give you a better answer.

I use the adobe draw app. Is there no way to have something saved in the creative cloud sent to the apps?

Adobe Draw is a companion app to Illustrator, not Photoshop. If you have a Creative Cloud subscription you can send the illustration to Illustrator on a desktop or laptop computer. You have to log into your CC account on the computer, and be on the same network with the iPad and the desktop. Within the Draw app you can send the file to Illustrator. After you are logged in, the file should open automatically in Illustrator after you send it there.

There is NO back and forth however. You can’t send the file back to Draw from Illustrator.

The mobile apps are not designed for a back and forth workflow. It’s a one way trip from mobile to desktop.
