Universal Photo Editor with support for Layers, Selection, Masks and of course filters, effects and other tools.

An editor so powerful that you could do almost anything that you thought was possible only on a desktop.

√ True layer support, just like photo editing on desktop. √ Selection. You can select an area and work with filters and effects only on that area. √ Layers can be masked. And not just with brush, you get a whole set of mask editing tool. √ Layers support all that a true layer app should. Blending, Opacity, Transform, Duplicate, Merge and flatten. √ The app is so fast that most of the operations are real time. You don't have to wait while adjusting the sliders. √ Handles Exif, IPTC, Geotag etc. You can even edit Geotag and IPTC. √ Exports PSD with layers. And of course exports JPEG and PNG too. √ Copy/Paste with selections and masks. √ Undo/Redo. √ Powerful filters you will hardly find on many other apps. √ 25 preset photo effects. √ Tools like Crop, Straighten, Clone stamp, color gradient, paint brush, red eye brush and add text etc. √ You can save your projects with all layers and selections preserved and work on them back and forth. √ 18 video tutorials. √ Resolution up to 4096x4096 on iPad3 and above and on iPhone max resolution is equal to the resolution of the built-in camera.

And yes, it runs on both iPhone and iPad.

Note that reduce noise filter is available only on iPhone 5 and iPad3 and above.

To get maximum resolution you will need to... 1. Go to home screen. 2. Press on the "?" button. 3. Under resolution, select the max.

To install apps directly onto this device, it must be jailbroken with AppSync installed.

I guess the free version resolution is still crippled beyond usefulness
     
by dwgr · December 20, 2021

Used to be great but with only one resolution available, “small”, since an update a few years ago, everything imports horribly low res. I’m assuming this is just on the free version to get users to upgrade. But it renders it completely useless. Plus, as mentioned, merge down function has been broken for ages. Merging layers from layer opacity adjustment menu deletes bottom layer. You can leave that and flatten, which works, but if you don’t want to flatten all layers you’re out of luck. Dev never responded to email. Oh well. In the trash.

5/5 for me

GREAT! Alternative to Photoshop!
     
by yo yo yo mo · July 4, 2024

I’ve been searching for a replacement to Photoshop Mix for weeks. This app is great. Definitely worth it for what I do. I needed a “simple” app to layer photos - so I can overlay them on each other and also cut out. This app is very intuitive, not overloaded with extra features, does what it says it does. I would pay double for it. Please keep this app functional, it is a HUGE relief. I did not want to support Ad0be because they discontinued their app support and forced users into a paid subscription, overloading the app with AI and other unnecessary features. I have been a loyal Photoshop user for 20 years but I will not support them any more. This app does not disappoint. It has convenient features at the touch a finger. Thank you so much.

best editor

This app is absolutely legendary, and I use it for all of my photo editing. I create video thumbnails and all of my graphics using this, and I can avoid more expensive and complex editing softwares because this app has everything that I need
