Hey guys so I was wondering if anyone uses their ipad/pencil and/or a mac to do grahics with? Ive seen adobe does a subscription now where you can have programs on your ipad and mac but I am not sure if they are worth it. But i figured it would be pretty cool to use a pencil (ipad) to manipulate the graphics like you would on a wacom tablet.Β 


I have also done some dabbling with different free ipad programs to do graphics. They work well enough but I have not gone in depth with it.Β 


Any info would be helpful. Thank you!

My cousin just gave me her ipad and pencil and I've been dabbling in it these last few days.Β  She had left the Procreate app on it for me, but I'm not sure if it can be used for photo manipulations.

I am not sure about a fire tablet. I doubt you could do much on them from the experience I have with them.Β

I use an iPad and pencil to create graphics on photopea - I'm not the best but still learning and think theres more potential than I can currently do. It's bit faffy compared to my laptop (which had CS6) but it died and I can't replace it yet!

I've used a macbook for graphics before, but unfortunately not iPad!Β 
I think Aeon has used an iPad for graphics though but I'm not 100% :)

Hi! I do exactly this. I use my iPad with apple pencil to draw. I love it SO MUCH compared to a tablet and desktop. I still have one but it's far easier to do on my iPad. Drawing hair? Game changer.


I also have an iMac and thats where I do everything else I can't using Adobe PS for iPad. I pay the subscription. It's totally worth it to me, I love using my iPad for graphics!

@nytmare Im annoyed that the only way you can get it now is through the subscription. I am considering getting it but im no where near good with graphics yet lol
