  • Their MacOS client is a very good alternative for Photoshop (for casual users) if you don't want to fork out the $150/year (or don't want to pirate it like most do) for the basic package.

    Didn't know they had an iOS application, for a buck - why not!

  • iOS 9.1 minimum.

  • +1

    I just bought it and gave it a quick test while i'm looking after the kids. Here's a quick summary and I wrote it in a rush as kids are eating breakfast.

    • It's very easy to use. The menus are logically laid out.
    • Tools like selection are not precise enough to use on the larger format iPhones (the 's' models), even using pinch to zoom. This should be fine on an iPad.
    • Responsiveness is excellent, as you'd expect from most IOS apps.
    • The effects (distortion, vignette, noise, etc) are all very easy to use.

    There is one feature I have used in other apps that I couldn't quite reproduce: remove blemish. I have a great picture of one of my kids at the Tour Down Under with a spilt drink in the background. Using some apps, I can seamlessly blend this into the background. Using pixelmator, I was able to mask it, but not seamlessly. The texture of the ground became too smoothed. I could most probably fudge this using a few tools, but, a tool like Photoshop Fix (for IOS) does this seamlessly in 1 pass, almost instantly.

    I really like the selection tool. I found the magnetic selection (ie. auto-detect edges) to be fairly good. However, if you make one mistake, you seem to have to start again. I'm sure i'd get used to this. Pinch to zoom helps with accuracy.

    I'll most probably stick with Photoshop Fix because the main tool I use on IOS is the repair (remove) function. This just isn't quite up-to-scratch in this app. If the remove/repair function was seamless, this app would be killer for most common use cases.
