Procreate cloud help

Not a music app question, but I know there are folks on here who can help me with this;
I’m going away next week and I will have no (or poor and intermittent) access to the intraweb. This is part of what a “holiday” constitutes for me - no need for messages of sympathy 😄
While I’m away I want to work on some artwork, using Procreate, for some music projects I have in the pipeline. How do I ensure that I can use the photos that are on my iPad (look! I can see them, right there in front of me!) without needing the fucking cloud? I hate the cloud. I just want stuff to be on my iPad…
Thanks in advance folks

  • If the photos are already on your iPad (in “Photos”?), then you just press “Photo” in the top right corner and select the photos you want to import. Much easier than swearing at the cloud. Have a good holiday.

  • Thanks @toneman88 , however, when I open the photos app, it doesn't look like your screenshot. And it still doesn't look like that when I select an individual photo. So I am continuing to swear at the cloud....

  • Select the photos you want to use and save them locally to ‘on my iPad’, before you head off on holiday

    Cheers Tom. I'll do that

  • More Procreate help needed please.
    I'm attempting to collaborate with a friend on some album artwork. He has started in Photoshop (Windows 11 Pro. Newest Photoshop version, which is v. 26.7), and in theory I should be able to open that psd file in Procreate and continue to work on it. However, every time I try to import the file, Procreate crashes mid-import. I've tried importing from within Procreate, from Dropbox. And I've tried "sharing" the file from my photos app (why does it go straight into my photos app when I try to Airdrop it from my macbook,...and not into the ipad downloads folder like everything else? Maybe that's a clue?)

    I can’t help much with this, sorry. I don’t use Photoshop or Windows. The best I can suggest is maybe the “newest Photoshop version” contains features which Procreate doesn’t know how to handle, or maybe the file you’re importing is too large for your iPad to handle? Or maybe there’s some problem with Windows 11 file formatting being read by iPadOS. Can your friend send you a very simple “Hello World” type PSD just to see if a basic file can be imported without any fancy features?

    Have you tried this? :-
    1. Create a simple piece of work in Procreate.
    2. Export it to PSD.
    3. Send the PSD to your friend, and ask him to open it in his Photoshop and then Save it.
    4. Get him to send the saved PSD back to you.
    5. See if you can import it back into Procreate. If you can’t, then that would show that Photoshop is doing something that Procreate or iPadOS can’t handle.

    EDIT:- I just did a quick search on the Procreate forum, and I found this. It might help, or not. Maybe you could try posting your problem on the Procreate forum?

    @FordTimeLord @toneman88

    How big is the file, do you know? It could be running out of memory trying to open the file. Have you tried restarting the iPad?

  • It's about 350mb Tom @FordTimeLord

  • Yes, will try a shut down/restart...

    I’m not working with Photoshop anymore, but there is a possibility to save legacy PSD files. You need to enable this option in the settings for ‘Save As.’ Because Procreate and any other third-party photo editing app can't keep up with Photoshop updates and the newest PSD format. 😌

    Thanks Luxthor. Do you mean my friend should save as legacy in PS?

    Yeah, that was the idea. 👍
