Hello, the smudge tool has been implemented on Photoshop for iPad:

Sorry to bother but I have scoured the web and can't find answer...the smudge tool (and others) does not appear on my toolbar on my iPad, and I absolutely can't find how to edit toolbar (again, on mobile). TIA if you can help!

The iPad version of Photoshop current doesn't contain the smudge tool that exists on the desktop versions of the app. I would greatly appreciate the tool on iPad as I use Photoshop primarily for digital painting, but I have to resort to using my iPad in sidecar along with my Mac OR using a drawing tablet when using my PC. If I'm ever out and about and want to work on something I have to switch to another app like Procreate because this function is missing and it is key to digital painting and artwork. I hate having to leave to another platform, since it involves converting files back and forth between file types, and having to just switch environments back and forth is a pain.

 

I would love to see Adobe add the smuudge feature to the iPadOS version of Photoshop.

It's upsetting that Adobe is the top tier for digital editing and yet they've spread themselves so thin, a simple staple like Smudge is nowhere to be found. Important to note that I get by with an iPad as my sole device and the only incompatible software leaving me hanging is Photoshop.

Literally just bought a brand new iPad Pro and pencil to use strictly for smudge painting. Lol. Wtf. I knew the iPad version would be “slimmer”, but the smudge tool is such a basic editing tool, I was 99% sure the iPad version would have it. Now I’ve found this board with posts about this that are two years old. I’m so frustrated right now.

It's been a year since I've posted, and this same tool has been at the top of many people's list.  Welcome to the waiting club.  

If the palm rejection feature wasn't so absolutely perfect compared to so many other programs, I don't think I'd be using this program any more.

Download the app “Affinity Pro” (costs $10) for the iPad. It takes a little getting used to, however it has all the tools photoshop has AND more. I’ve used it for many projects this last year and am impressed. It accepts ALL *.psd files as well. Just allow yourself time to learn it, once you do you will be much happier with it than the very poorly designed photoshop for iPad.

I bought an iPad Pro, a pen and a keyboard, then subscribed to adobe, based on the promise that this was photoshop on the iPad, not photoshop for the iPad. 

Over a thousand pounds I spent, instead of getting an old iMac, and I had to look my coworkers in the eye and explain why I couldn’t produce images. It’s been the most awful year for many reasons but this has not helped.

Photoshop for ipad is unusable for many of us digital artists without a smudge tool. I'd happily switch to PS from Procreate, but not without a smudge tool.
