This post is from April 2017. Creative Cloud now runs on the iPad and files can be accessed from DropBox. The information given was correct in 2017, but there have been changes since then and it it no longer valid. Please start a new thread. This one has been locked.

You currently cannot use Creative Cloud on an IPad pro as it uses the IOS operating system. However, Adobe do have applications that run on IOS devices and have some of the capabilities of Photoshop and Illustrator. These apps are designed for low level work though. You can find those apps in the Apple Store.

It's a little late to tell you, but there are strong rumours in the industry that the next IPad Pro will support both IOS and OSX which would make sense as it would then run the full version of Creative Cloud applications and compete with the Windows platform where the Microsoft Surface Pro already runs Creative Cloud.

Apple like to market the iPad Pro as if it is some kind of replacement for a Mac, rather than an oversized phone. Blame Apple Marketing for your problem here, but you need a computer. This is really a deliberate decision: technically it could be a little Mac, but then Apple wouldn't be controlling all sales through the App Store. iOS needs years of work and several major rethinks before it is a suitable platform for serious work like this.

Or Adobe is too lazy to develop something proper. Their code is very old. If Serif can achieve it with Affinity why can't Adobe do it? I can even edit my Hasselblad 50c files in raw and 16 bit on full res on the iPad Pro with Affinity. I have a the major tools I need and it just works perfect!!

I suspect the reason is cost. Adobe does have cut down versions of Photoshop that run under iOs , but they are carefully tailored to the hardware capabilities of the platform. If market research shows a sufficient demand though they'll probably do it, particularly as the iPad Pro is now becoming far more powerful in order to rival the Surface Pro from Microsoft.

Cost? Buy Adobe is hice. And this is the time to awnser Apple'a new iPad Pro! Serif don't have that much money like adobe and they nailed it. And why? I need Lightroom. And with a subscription you always have Lightroom and Photoshop I also use Phocus but I can't use this for my Nikon files. (If you have any suggestions For me...)

The problem isn't the iPad Pro which is very capible as demonstrated by other software companies. The problem is Adobe. They have always been slow to respond to new technology...I've seen it for two decades now.

Hi John , yes the idea seems to have gone of the boil a little. I have a friend at Apple who can't say too much as the company is very sensitive to leaks , but they tell me the idea is still very much under discussion but hasn't been as yet been approved at the highest level of management. I personally just use Windows but would give a lot of consideration to an IPad Pro running OSX. My guess is it wouldn't be cheap though and would be up there challenging the Surface Pro

Just to add: The line of mobile apps are meant to supplement rather than replace what the Creative Cloud desktop apps provide. (e.g., Capture CC's (rather wonderful) tools like creating patterns from images or creating looks for use in the CC desktop apps.)

This may or may not be a moot point in a few years since it's all converging. You can use a Surface Pro like a desktop PC at home and bring it on the go, for example, and have the full suite of CC desktop apps at your disposal.

The Surface Pro has shown you can have a portable "real" computer/tablet that runs most pro apps. To be fair the MacBook (new) is lighter than the Surface Pro with keyboard cover and works very well. The missing "holy grail" is a touch screen Mac. It's been suggested that Apple would never do that because right now they can sell both an iPad and a Mac to a keen customer, and a touch screen Mac would mean they sold only one product. I think the "Pro" in the name of the "iPad Pro" fools a lot of people. Are there any actual Pro apps in use on the thing?

So I contacted support via my Creative Cloud account and the moderator there said "that looks like Photoshop" to which I replied...Great! But that's new then because afaik you can't run Photoshop on an IPad Pro...

so please excuse my ignorance but how does that work? i can open a photoshop image, complete with layers on my laptop. i can see that image on the ipad pro, draw on ( using the limited options available ) the changes made appear how on my original psd file in my laptop? as a separate layer?

You referring to Photoshop Mix? You can send comps from Mix to Photoshop CC (via Creative Cloud) but not vice-versa. (Not totally, anyway; I believe you can open PSDs saved in CC but I believe the layers merge before import.)

Looks more like Illustrator than Photoshop. But some close peering at screen shots on the web suggest it's an Autodesk app. I found a review which seemed to me to describe everything about why Adobe might not target the iOS market: "a little more expensive than the other apps ... US$8.99". This truly is a race to the bottom.

if they charge me 199 bucks I would buy it. Is enhancing the workflow. they can also charge it by using your cc account. But overall I think costs isn't the problem. And one tthey have to. Slow but sure the tablet wil conquer the laptop. and I think program makers like Serif are damn smart (and have the balls) to devolop software like these. I'm using both desktop and iPad versions of Affinity for a week now. And I don't miss photoshop....

There is a compromise solution if you really do want to run the full version of Photoshop or any Mac program , but it requires not only an iPad but also a Mac either desktop or laptop. Basically a wired or Wi-Fi connection is made from the iPad to the Mac and using an app called 'Astro Pad' the iPad will serve as a remote desktop a little like a Cintiq. I don't have it, but have seen it demonstrated at a show and it's quite impressive, retailing at around $20

Now, I'm wondering, do you reckon Affinity is gearing up to match these capabilities? Pixelmator Pro has set the bar high, handling these files like a champ. It's got me hopeful that Affinity will follow suit. What do you think?

Yeah, they made a big deal of being able to open and edit the files and "convert AI files into other formats when needed" - nowhere do I see any indication that it can actually save back to AI format after editing them:

I don't have any AI files to play with but I too am skeptical that whatever you are editing from an AI file is actually being saved in AI format. Are you sure it is not saving your modified AI file in its own native format?

We can open and save PSD files (with some, limits most notably Text Layers in Photoshop files cannot be saved as Text Layers, they are rasterized). We can Open .ai files if they have the PDF stream saved. We cannot Save or Export as .ai files. We can Export any files as .psd files.

They seem uninterested in trying to reverse-engineer undocumented file formats (.ai) or partially undocumented aspects (text) of partially documented formats (.psd). Or if not uninterested, it's at least lower-priority than other functions they want to provide.

I completely agree with you. My interest was piqued by the recent Pixelmator update. I made the switch to Affinity as soon as Adobe Creative Cloud was introduced. My clients didn't pick up on this switch, and I doubt I'll be returning to Adobe in the foreseeable future. Everything has been functioning wonderfully with the Affinity Suite, Sketch, Espresso, and RapidWeaver with Foundation. These tools have really been performing well for me.

In summary, implementing AI file support in Affinity Designer is not just a simple coding task. It involves technical, legal, and practical challenges and would require significant resources and expertise.

I don't recall stating that. In truth, I prefer that Affinity not divert their development efforts towards ensuring compatibility with Adobe's standards. My inquiry was simply whether Affinity, given the updates Pixelmator has rolled out, intends to introduce the ability to open and export editable PSD and AI files, similar to what Pixelmator achieves. That was the extent of my question.

It is a bottomless pit of work and endless problems for Serif and customers, and if one expects that the exchange of files back and forth between customers and suppliers or between creatives will work, then one will be disappointed.

Why are we directing people to unsafe, ad and malware infested online converter websites?
Download gimp and follow a youtube tutorial on how to create .ico files.

To Adobe: Shame on you for charging a fortune and not offering the ability to export the basic .ico image type. How can you call yourself an industry leader without basic image creation support.

Could not agree more! Outrageous to pay a PREMIUM price for an entire ADOBE suite EVERY MONTH only to have to go to a dangerous website online to complete the simple task. I came to this site to learn how to do the conversion only to be shocked to find that I can't at all. Crazy!

Agreed. This seems like a basic, highly sought-after feature that should be standard to the platform. It baffles me that it's not dooable on Photoshop.
Having to get Gimp for the purpose of 1 simple task seems outrageous to me, especially for what we pay every month.

I have used this plug-in in the past, but can't find where to install it in the latest version of photoshop cc 2017. The directions say to put it in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop \Plug-Ins\File Formats, but that folder doesn't exist there. As many people use this file format, I can't believe that Adobe hasn't already made it a standard feature! Ticks me off to have to use a different program.
