P: Ability to Liquify on mobile

It may not be feasible (at least for now) to add Liquify to Photoshop on the iPad, but how about Transform> Warp as a workaround?  (Being able to manipulate an image using Liquify — or Warp — is a basic image editing feature.)

        Hello, I have a new ipad and I just downloaded photoshop but my liquefy tool is greyed out. I saw that there was an update and that iPads should now be able to edit with the liquefy tool, but I can't seem to figure out how to add it. Could anyone help?

         

         

        [Subject edited by moderator to say "Liquify tool greyed out". Was "Liquefy tool".

          Hi Andrea31514722z5el,

          Just to know more on the issue can you please try creating or opening an RGB file which is < 8192 X 8192 pixels & check if the Liquify tool is enabled or not? 

           

          Current limitations:

          Liquify is disabled for Text layer, Smart object, Grey Scale, Lab Color,CMYK, Layers size more than 8192 X 8192 pixels & Mask

            Delete the app and reinstall it.

              Hi! Mine still says it's not available. I have a new iPad air, so you know how I can get it? I see the tool but it's greyed out.

               

               

              [Note from moderator: this post was merged with an primary thread

              asking when Liquify would be available. This is a different question.]

                Check to see what version you have using the cog in the upper right. Update in the App Store if needed. Then look in Filters in the right hand panel.

                 

                 

                EDIT: I just read your post again and you said it is grayed out. Select a layer first!

                    I am running the latest version of Photoshop iPad. For some reason, I do not have the Liquify Filter. Why is that?

                    hi there!

                    this is a error on the helpX site -- the feature is still in development but will be coming soon!

                    If you did not see the answer in the thread you started two hours before posting here, Photoshop for iPad has Content Aware Fill. Here's your thread:

                      Bring liquify with warp, freeze and thaw mask to ipad. It's a shame to not have those on ipad..   also content aware when removing items.

                        Liquify on iPad/Photoshop is... a web mess: I try to look for it online and i find completely unreliable sources. It seems it's already available, but i cannot find it in any place on current Photoshop version.

                        The Photoshop help system in iPad is incredibly unprofessional for a professional (high cost!!) suite: there's not even a way to search within the manual: I cannot believe this! You need looking online for unofficial sources and you only get confused. There's even a LinkedIn training by Tony Harmer that shows a Liquify feature on iPadOS Photoshop, but the version seems old/different and I cannot find it in any way on my May 2023 updated version, on my M2 iPad.

                        Please Adobe add this feature soon and (by far) better manage the help system.

                        Cannot believe Adobe is such unclear on this critical feature...
