![]() I was already a big fan of Pixelmator on the Mac and (if you can't tell) I'm very impressed with it on the iPad, but the only problem is, I can't use it on my iPhone. The layer system is really easy and intuitive so creating masks and double exposure projects are much easier than other apps with similar tools. Touching a thumbnail on the left makes that layer active so you can make edits on it without effecting the other layers. To switch between layers, you can drag your finger in from the left side of the screens to bring up thumbnails for each layer. Once your second image is selected, you can go back to the paint brush button and select format to adjust the layer opacity. You can add a layer by hitting the plus sign in the upper right to import another image. Working with layers can be tricky on the desktop, but with Pixelmator on the iPad it's easy. In other words, Pixelmator seems simple on the surface, but you really see how it stands apart with its flexibility and feature options when you dig a little deeper. Of course, there are many photo apps that give you tons of effects, but Pixelmator has really high-quality selections and you can customize the look further with onscreen controls not found in most other apps. Once you select an effect, the app gives you onscreen controls to adjust the size and intensity of the effect with a neat radial control system. When you touch the Add Effects button, you get a large selection of thumbnails across the bottom you can scroll by swiping, but each type opens up into another group of thumbnails so you can select the style for that type of effect. ![]() You also have sliders here for brightness, contrast and saturation. The retouch selection gives you nine different tools so you can lighten or darken specific areas of an image, sharpen the focus, fix red-eyes, desaturate and more, all applied with a swipe of your finger.Īdjusting colors is particularly cool, because it pushes your photo to the left, and brings up several color presets with thumbnails so you can see their effects along with color level sliders for more precise adjustments. I've used a lot of photo editors as well as paint apps on iOS, but I've never seen an app with this many tool options. There are even 12 eraser types so you can fade and obscure parts of your project with just the right look. To give you an idea of your options here, there are 12 different styles for each type of tool. Touching the Paint and Erase option gives you tons of different artistic tools so you can draw with pencils, pens, crayons, markers, paintbrushes and more, with several styles for each type. ![]() Even if you just want to start with a blank sheet to work with, you have complete control over its dimensions with a keypad where you can enter the width and height. You can also create a project from scratch using this menu, with a number of templates that include several collage types, poster layouts, or even greeting cards. You start by touching the plus sign in the upper left to either take a picture or import one from your photo library or iCloud Drive. With Pixelmator on the iPad your project is front and center, but by using a handful of buttons at the top and onscreen tools, you can get to the app's many features without much screen clutter. Many photo editors for iOS come packed with features, but the screen often gets crowded with buttons, sliders and toolbars that get confusing.
