Can I Use Universal Control and My iPad/Apple Pencil As a Graphics Pad?

Question

I&#8217;m getting a new Mac (Studio) which will give me access to Universal Control.  When I use Adobe Photoshop Elements, will I be able to use my iPad and Apple Pencil as a &#8220;pad&#8221; to select areas in a photo for layering and selection tools?  If I need to get a Wacom type pad instead, that&#8217;s fine, but I keep thinking using the iPad should be my solution.  Thanks for your guidance.   I want to have finer control to select and adjust selection areas around images I want to adjust in my photo.  A mouse or a trackpad is awkward and my previous experience with Wacom pads is from years ago and I never found it a satisfying experience.  I could also find my self editing with the iPad in other programs like Electric Quilt which is a vector graphics based program and would work well with a selection tool like the iPad/pencil combination&#8230;in my imagination.  :). &#8212;&#8211; Quiltist

Accepted Answer

I&#8217;m sad to say I can&#8217;t test this out on my current Mac.  It&#8217;s pushing 10 years old.  I&#8217;ve waited for the right system to upgrade to and the Studio is it.  I thought the 27&#8243; iMac I currently own would continue to work for me but my desire to work to learn more photo and video editing has found weaknesses that can only be overcome by a new computer.  You&#8217;ve solved a problem I anticipated and I am delighted to not have to clutter my life with another device.  You&#8217;re always very helpful.  Quiltist
