I have been trying to find a way to import brushes to the new Photoshop for I-pad program, but I can't find a way. It seems like it's supported in it's sister-program Fresco, but somehow didn't get the support in Photoshop? I find this hard to believe since it is an essential part of Photoshop and one of the best features of photoshop.
How do I add .ABR brushes to my iPad Photoshop? Is this honestly not possible. It is now February 2021. Could you in the community, or Adobe staff, please answer this questions clearly. Thanks,
The latest version of Photoshop on my iPad has one brush. ONE. Is that deliberate or do I have a broken version?
I can't use Fresco for what I want to do either, so I'm wondering what the point of these two separate apps is when neither of them are doing what I want them to do. Why not combine them into one app that actually works for what artists want? I don't want a bunch of filters and FX stuff, I want a version of Photoshop that works a lot like the one I have on my desktop Mac works.
Obviously everyone wants brushes. I want brushes. I have one brush in my version of Photoshop so to me that makes it almost useless. Everyone has other photo editing apps, but people who use Photoshop expect lots of brushes. It's crazy that this is not a priority.
My version has all the default brushes. Have you tried deleting the app and reinstalling it or signing out and reinstalling it?
I understand your frustration though. Eventually the apps will include all the stuff you need. Its a gradual process, they wanted the apps out there, but they couldn't put all the features out there right away, because it could have been so bogged down that it would have been extremely buggy. That and they're trying to incorporate what they can in a mobile UI. Because what we know in the desktop wouldn't work too well in mobile. All I can say is to be patient. More stuff is coming
I would really like to see the availability to be able to use brushes on the iPad version of Photoshop. It would make going between the Mac and the iPad much more versitile. Please make it happen soon.
The brushes are an important component of Photoshop. I know the team at Adobe is probably tearing their hair out with trying to get all these features. I imagine you all are under a lot of stress.
Having the ability to use our brushes is important to us users. Perhaps it could be a priority?
I hope so, on both accounts. Not only is the lack of custom brushes frustrating, I know what you mean with the app being bogged down. I'm on a slightly older iPad Pro 11 from 2019 and increasing any brush size beyond 150 slows down Photoshop considerably 😕
I would really like to be able to import new brushes to Photoshop on my IPad. I use it for school, homework, and for my free time I’m having a hard time finding Photoshop on my desktop (it’s an apple desktop). It would I also be helpful because I take my IPad on the go.
Not sure what they are waiting for. Brushes can be imported into Affinity Photo and Affinity Design with easy. Dozens of brushes at that. Clearly this function is possible. They are being lazy with the coding.
I recently imported a lot of brushes to photoshop on desktop. However, on the iPad version they don't seem to show up. Only the default brushes such as pastels and pencil are options. Is there any way to sync my desktop imported brushes with iPad photoshop? Thank you!
Please add brush importing! I have a huge library of brushes and use SO MANY custom brushes! I can't believe Photoshop for iPad doesn't allow importing brushes! What gives?
It reads, "For Photoshop on iPad and Adobe Fresco, open the brush panel and click on the + button, navigate to your .ABR file, and select it to add the brushes."
Unfortunately, though, this only applies to Adobe Fresco.
The free brushes inspired by Keith Haring are great though! Visit the page (linked above) to download them.
