Adobe Photoshop is one of the most popular photo editing tools used by designers, photographers, web developers, graphic artists, and creative professionals. The photoshop tool is mainly used in desktop because in other platforms all the features are not available. As we have seen many versions of photoshop in other platforms but not one of them is like the desktop version. But on November 3, 2019, Adobe Photoshop was released for iPad. At first only the most frequently used features were only available. Adobe plans to make the Adobe photoshop for iPad to have many features like the desktop in the coming days. As we can use Apple pen for selecting on the iPad screen so it is more comfortable to select then the desktop version. Photoshop for iPad is available for no charge to Creative Cloud subscribers.
Features of Adobe Photoshop for iPad:
#Basic tools:
- Paint Brush
- Text Tool
- Fill Tool
- Gradient Tool
- Crop and Transform tool
# Layers:
- Add and delete layer
- Opacity and Blending of layer
- Adjustment layers for brightness, contrasts, level and many more
- Layer mask features
# Selection:

#Retouching:

#Gesture control
You may notice that when you touch the screen you can see a faint circular pointer; it is for the gesture control. Gesture control is like an alternative shortcut option for iPad. For example, when you are using the paintbrush then tapping and holding the screen will change the pointer to the eraser.
So here are some of the mostly used gesture control shortcuts:
- Zoom: Pinch the screen with two fingers
- Undo: Tap with your two fingers
- Redo: Tap with your three fingers
- Full view (100% view): Double tap with one finger
- Rotate: Rotate the image using your two fingers.
