For most users the more advanced features of Photoshop Touch won't be needed but for professionals they will be sorely missed. Photoshop Touch is much more powerful, albeit has a steeper learning curve. However for more advance techniques in photo manipulation that Photoshop users have come to rely on, Pixelmator lacks. For Photographers and casual use, it is well worth the $4.99 price and will get the job done. It is far easier to use then Photoshop Touch. Way more powerful then a simple repair brush. You can really refine a touch up job in Photoshop Touch with Clone Stamp, because you can pixel by pixel touch up an image by defining the source of the clone stamp and implementing it. Pixelmator users have to strictly rely on the Repair tool to remove unwanted objects from their image. OUCH! AGAIN!Īnother feature Pixelmator lacks is the powerful Clone Stamp tool that photoshop users have grown to love. In Pixelmator, it won't remember your selection so you need to create a completely new selection. You can select all pixels in a layer in Photoshop Touch and get the original selection you started with in the first place. OUCH!Įven though both apps have layers, Photoshop Touch handles layers much better. Photoshop Touch also has "Extract" and "Feather" options to even more refine your selection.Īnother thing that killed me about Pixelmator, is the lack of being able to invert your selection. Refine Edge in Photoshop Touch is much more powerful in creating a much better mask. You can refine the edge of your selections in Pixelmator, but the options are lacking. However for power users who have the need for more advanced techniques like photo collage manipulation, Pixelmator starts to show its limits. The selection tools are very smart! For much of what Photographers do this is hands down the most user friendly of the two apps. Using the dial adjustment for the "Magic Wand" is very smart and accurate. It is easy to select certain parts of an image to adjust levels. The more advanced tools such as the selection tools like "Magic Wand" and "Repair" tool work very well.
I love the U.I type dial that comes up to adjust certain levels and effects. The ease of use of the interface follows the same basic U.I design as Apples software, so although its new, it seems familiar.įor basic photo level adjustments or filters, Pixelmator is far more user friendly then Photoshop Touch. Most reviews have said Pixelmator is as easy to use as Apples Pages, Numbers and Keynote. on my iPad.Īt the iPad Air 2 keynote, Pixelmator was introduced and at its $4.99 price point, it was an easy buy. So I own both Pixelmator and Photoshop Touch for iPad.Īs a Graphic Designer who has used the powerful desktop version of Photoshop, I wanted something that could come close for image editing and manipulation.
