Adobe has offered a mobile version of Photoshop for Android and iOS for some time. This year, however, it wants to bring the full Photoshop CC experience to the iPad. From today, it is accepting beta applications through an online form where you have to explain your motivation.

Photoshop CC beta for iPad launched

It was already possible to use a cut-down version of Photoshop for iOS, but you missed out on many features. The interface now looks the same as the desktop version, but it has been optimised for touch control and includes cloud synchronisation.

Adobe is working on a plan to add more functionality in the future. As well as touch, you can also use the Apple Pencil, and better use is made of the larger screen size. For example, a panel with various tools is shown on the left side of the screen. On the right, you can manage layers.

Synchronisation between iPad and desktop

The user interface also works with PSD files, masks and other features that you could normally only use on the desktop. It is also context-sensitive, showing options and menus that are useful at a particular moment.

Because Adobe has used the same codebase, you can easily continue working on the iPad on a project you started on your Mac. Your work is automatically synchronised between iPad and desktop.

Adobe has now announced that you can sign up for the beta programme. Photoshop CC for iPad will become available to everyone later this year.

How to sign up

Existing Creative Cloud users will receive an invitation by email to try the software. You will receive a link to a Google form where you can leave your email address, name and motivation.
