That means many of the standard masking techniques used for photo retouching and illustration are well covered. However, clipping layers to other layers and groups works. Masking is limited to bitmap masks only (no vector masks yet). The painting and retouching tools are a joy to use with an Apple Pencil. Given the lack of other tools and panels, Photoshop for iPad feels fluid and focused for this kind of work. If you're looking for something that's better in Photoshop on an iPad than the desktop version, using the spot healing brush and clone stamp tool with a Pencil is a great place to start. Custom brushes can't be created or loaded in, but there is a wide range of bundled brushes. The layers panel can also be displayed in a highly compact mode with just thumbnails and no layer names, helping maximize screen real estate, while still allowing access to many common features via gestures.
Opacity and blending modes can be set, and the blending mode popup menu includes preview thumbnails - a nice touch that's not present in the desktop version of Photoshop. Layers can be reordered, renamed, moved, resized and transformed as per the desktop version. Most of the layer management and blending options have survived the journey. With that in mind, it's far easier to describe what is there, rather than what's not there.
Adobe's description of what's included is bang-on and should be taken very literally.
