By the end of 2019, this will include a new Select Subject feature that uses Adobe's Sensei machine learning technology to enable users to automatically select the subject of an image to speed up complex selections. And in December, Adobe says its cloud document system will be optimized to be even faster.
In the first half of 2020, Photoshop for iPad will gain additional features, including the Refine Edge brush for selecting soft edges, integration of Lightroom and Photoshop workflows on the iPad, and more.
if it worked as well as photoshop 5.5 or 6 or 7 nobody would be complaining. Instead of focusing on the fundamentals though, they're aiming for the stars with "machine learning" subject selection.
When has an image cut out with auto selection ever looked natural?
Of course it got poor reviews. A tablet is nothing more than an expensive toy, and trying to do real work on one (with the sole exception of drawing with a pen, which Photoshop is not for) will be a disappointing experience.
This is the main problem I have when everyone suggests ARM as a replacement to Intel/AMD on "desktop" computers. Writing Photoshop (and now Illustrator) for ARM and iOS/iPadOS has resulted in a horrible user experience when compared to the "desktop" counterpart. Imagine what will happen when they even come close to trying that with AE, Premiere Pro, Media Encoder, Dreamweaver, etc.
Fresco is a fun toy to play with for stress relief or creative outlets, but that's about it. I'm not pulling an iPad out for PS on iPad when a client needs changes to deep layers. Give me a Wacom, use Sidecar, or even a mouse with the desktop.
I agree with you on that last part. They definitely over promised and under delivered. At the very least they should’ve had RAW processing available from day one. Lightroom has had it for a while now, why not PS? It’s my understanding that when you share from Lightroom to Photoshop, it uses a full res jpeg.

You do know the iPad Pro has been on par or even surpassed some computers in the processing power area. The iPads especially the pros are more than capable of running full photoshop with some tweaks.

I’m not a developer so I have no idea what that switch would mean, programming wise. Do the different processors require like different programming languages? Or why does it pose such a massive problem? Or just because you somehow have to start from scratch?

ArtStudio has been my go to since it came out for the very first iPad. Admittedly it's been outshined a bit by Affinity, but I still prefer the interface myself.

A desktop computer is nothing more than an expensive toy, and trying to do real work on one (with the sole exception of playing video games that require more inputs than a tablet is for) will be a disappointing experience.
Let me help you out. I’ve been using “just a tablet” for several years, doing real work. What I discovered is that software bloated its way in to filling all the resources a desktop provides. Software on a tablet requires designers to reduce the bloat making things more efficient. I get more done with a tablet.
So what have I been doing? Information Security. Both doing and teaching. This means I’ve built courseware, on my tablet. I’ve used Affinity products and before that I used Pixelmator. I’ve used Keynote (infinitely better than PowerPoint). I’ve taken my OSCP course entirely from my tablet (connecting to a server running Kali). I’m half way through a Masters degree, and done everything on a tablet.
I get paid by the minute. I don’t get your bitterness, but your absolutism on this is nonsense.
And yet there is software that does a better job than the ARM version of Photoshop at the things Photoshop does. The problem is sloppiness. CISC code allows for greater sloppiness than an ARM processor does. With a CISC system you just throw more compute cycles at it (costing more electricity).
Imagine what will happen when they even come close to trying that with AE, Premiere Pro, Media Encoder, Dreamweaver, etc.
They’ll learn that they need to do a better job of software design.

The compute is available in a tablet (that capability needed to do the computations). Your argument is that because you can do it faster the way you are used to, and Adobe’s software design for photoshop on ARM isn’t as robust, that says something about ARM or using PS on tablets.
Now if only we could review Apple apps like Apple Maps, then maybe they could get some feedback to change (even though competition like Google Maps gets reviews)
