There are many photo editing programs out there, but none have the same reputation and popularity as Adobe Photoshop. It’s one of the few apps well-known enough to have managed to become a verb: “photoshop”.
Assuming you’ve considered using alternative iPad editors but ultimately settled on Adobe, we’re here to help you install Photoshop on your iPad. Tablet from Apple.
We’ll take you step-by-step through the app installation process, as well as everything you need to do to create a subscription. Moreover, we will tell you how to get a discount and even how to use the app for free.
How to Download Photoshop from the App Store
Adobe offers Photoshop through the Apple App Store, which means you can easily download the app directly to your iPad. Just open the App Store on your iPad and search for Photoshop, or click this link and it will automatically take you to the download page.
Press the “Get” button next to Photoshop to start the download. Depending on the security settings you have on your iPad and whether or not you recently installed another app, you may or may not need to enter your Apple ID and password, or use Touch ID or Face ID to verify” procurement”. ” (even if for the moment it’s free).
Wait for the app to finish downloading, then tap “Open” in the App Store or open it using the app icon on your home screen.
You will immediately be greeted with a welcome page asking you to register or login to continue. This is so because Photoshop uses a subscription model.
How to subscribe through the App Store
You cannot buy Photoshop directly from the App Store with a one-time payment, so you can use it forever. As we said, Adobe uses a subscription model: the initial download of the app is free, but then you’ll have to pay a periodic fee to continue using the app. Software.
Yes, you can subscribe to Adobe Photoshop directly from the App Store. If you’ve searched for Photoshop on the App Store, you’ve probably seen it appear as the second result (or third, if you see an ad first).
You can contract the subscription directly from the search screen. Press the free trial button next to the result and you will see the prices (in our case it allows us to use it for free for the first month and then you have to pay $10.99) and a button to install the app and subscribe.
The subscription price varies depending on the type of subscription you purchase: it costs $10.99 / MXN$199 per month, or $88.99 / MXN$1,849 per year. (Obviously, the annual subscription is cheaper per month, but it gives you less flexibility when it comes to cancelling). Instead, there is no weekly subscription.
How to subscribe through the Adobe website
Regular Apple users may have noticed that the company is very keen on iPad (and iPhone) owners signing up through the App Store for a revenue cut. But it is perfectly possible to skip this step and subscribe to Photoshop directly through Adobe.
You might think this method is cheaper because Adobe doesn’t have to pay Apple any commission. The truth is that the two options are difficult to compare because Adobe offers several types of subscription: for desktop, for iPad, with cloud storage and other extras.
Here are the different subscription plans:
Photoshop Single App Subscription
If you only want the Photoshop app, the subscription price is higher than what Apple charges through the App Store. It’s true that if you do it through Adobe’s website, you also get the desktop app and 100GB of cloud storage.
- Annual plan (monthly payment): $24.19 / MXN$449.29 per month
- Annual plan (prepaid): $290.17 / MXN$5,324.26 per year ($24.18 / MXN$443.68 per month)
- Monthly plan: $36.29 / MXN$721.69 per month
You can subscribe from the Adobe website.
photography plan
If you’re interested in the long-term photography plan, this deal is better than buying Photoshop alone. It’s cheaper, though it also includes Lightroom and Lightroom Classic (and, again, cloud storage, though that’s less than what you’d get with a single-app subscription).
The only downside is that Adobe does not offer the option to subscribe to these plans on a monthly basis. You will need to commit for one year, whether you choose to pay it in one installment or in recurring installments.
Here are the prices of the Photography Package with 20 GB of storage:
- Annual plan (monthly payment): $12.09 / MXN$199 per month
- Annual plan (prepaid): $144.33 / MXN$2,388 per month ($12.02 / MXN$199 per month)
In case you want 1TB of storage, here are the prices:
- Annual plan (monthly payment): $24.19 / MXN$443.69 per month
- Annual plan (prepaid): $288.80 / MXN$5,324.26 per month ($24.06 / MXN$443.70 per month)
You can check all plans and subscribe on the Adobe website.
Once you’ve set up an Adobe ID with a subscription that includes Photoshop, you can apply it to the Photoshop app on your iPad. Just sign in with your Apple ID and you can start using the Software.
How to Cancel a Photoshop Subscription
It’s quite easy to cancel your Photoshop subscription. To do this, simply follow these steps:
1. Go to the Adobe website to manage your plan.
2. Sign in to your Adobe account.
3. In the “Plans” section, select “Manage plan”.
4. Now tap “Cancel Plan”.
5. Indicate the reason for the cancellation.
6. Click ‘Continue’.
How to Install Photoshop on Your iPad for Free
If you want to use Photoshop for a short time, the free trial is your best option.
Apple’s free trial lasts 30 days, more than enough to complete a good project without paying a penny. Adobe’s trial only lasts 7 days, but the company allows you to cancel a paid subscription without paying, as long as you do so within 14 days of signing up.
Indeed, by taking advantage of various free trial offers, you will be able to give free rein to Photoshop for a certain time: 30 days with Apple, then 7 days with Adobe, then another 14 days (or 13 of course) before termination of a payment subscription with Adobe.
However, in the end, you’ll have to pay or learn to live without Photoshop on your iPad. We’re leaning towards the former, because at this point it appears to be the Software what do you need.
How to Get Photoshop Express, the Free Alternative
If you don’t need the full suite of features available in Photoshop, you might want to consider Photoshop Express. This is a much more basic app that offers basic photo editing features, but more importantly, it’s free.
Well, the basic version of the app is free. Other features can be unlocked through in-app purchases. But many users only get by with the free version.
We definitely suggest trying out Photoshop Express before upgrading to Adobe’s more advanced and expensive products. You can download it directly from the App Store.
