Painting on the iPad and iPhone just took a leap forward with the introduction of Photoshop brush support in Photoshop Sketch*. Take all of your favorite Photoshop brushes that you’ve created over the years, add them to a Creative Cloud library and they will automatically appear for use in Photoshop Sketch. When combined with the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, your brushes will take on a new life in PS Sketch. We’ve built just the right settings directly into PS Sketch so you can adjust everything you need while painting on your iPad or iPhone.
To help get you started, Adobe partnered with award-winning illustrator and brush-creator Kyle T. Webster to create a customized library with seven hand-tuned brushes from his Kyle Brushes collection. The collection includes oil, rake and splatter brushes. These brilliant brushes can be used in Photoshop on the desktop and PS Sketch on your iPad and iPhone. See examples of Kyle’s incredible work created using his brushes at his website.

They’re free to everyone using Adobe Fresco and also available in Photoshop desktop and now Photoshop on iPad. Download the brushes and spread Haring’s message of love, hope and equality.

Small improvements with big impact
We always like to include improvements that might seem small, but that have a big impact on common and important workflows. Here are two:
- You can now draw lines using vectors or pixels. In the past, it was just vectors. More info here.
- Transform warp guidelines, sometimes also called grid lines, have also been improved. This is really important for package designers. Now you can choose if grid lines are on or off by default. The grid size and line density is customizable. The color and opacity of the lines can also be customized so they are easier to see depending on the color of the image you are working with.
Adobe Camera Raw
Today we release 70 new presets in Adobe Camera Raw and Adobe Lightroom, custom created for Adobe by a diverse group of extraordinary, renowned photographers.
Presets are a great, one-click way to elevate your photo with a unique look, but presets are only as good as the people who make them. These new presets are meticulously crafted by incredibly talented photographers. The initial set of presets includes seven preset packs, each containing 10 to 15 high quality presets. Best of all, we’ll continue to expand the collection in future releases.
The preset categories include portrait, travel, cinematic, future and vintage. For more information about the presets and the photographers behind them, check out this blog post by Ben Warde on the Lightroom team.
Post your work on social and tag #photoshop. We’d love to see what you create with the new custom brushes and presets!
