Hi, I am using photoshop for iPad for several weeks so far however, I am into PS desktop for many years. The problem on my PS iPad version is, move tool does not move things smoothly. Once I try to drag a layer around, it moves 5-10 pixels on each drag. I cant do precise edits. I want to move my layers one pixel sometimes but I cant. Anyone has the same issue? Or is it just my iPad? Or maybe there is a setting that needs to be switched on?

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

Which version of Photoshop on iPad are you using? Since when are you seeing this issue? Does this happen with specific file types or all files?

Did you try re-installing the application?

We're here to help, just need more info.

 

Thanks,

Ranjisha

I have the same problem, using layers with drawings on a layer with a tif image. For now I switch to the computer, but indeed not very convenient. I would be interested to know if there is a solution.

Hi @Annemiek5E0A 

Thanks for highlighting this. Are you still seeing this issue? Would you mind sharing your iPadOS and Photoshop versions? Did you try re-installing the application?

Also, clearing the cache files helps at times. We're here to help.

Yes, it's pretty terrible to do precise work on the iPad version. Unfortunately, all Adobe support does is tell you to reinstall and clear cache (the most basic computer troubleshooting). 

hopefully they'll update it or include nudge.
