So cool

They are so cool to not demand your data, browser history, location, identity, etc- it’s so refreshing.

Great app with one glaring omission

I’m still feeling my way around this app and it seems to have everything I could need except the ability to mask. This is an essential part of my workflow so it’s quite the handicap to be without it. There is an erase tool but that is destructive to the image so not a great workaround. Masking in this app has been discussed for a long time on the forums but there hasn’t been a definitive answer from the developers as to whether this is a realistic expection or it just can’t be done. Both Lightroom and Art Studio Pro have pretty robust masking on the iPad and iPhone. Masking would make this a 5-star app without a doubt.

PLEASE FIX! Dark mode isn’t fully dark

Why does dark mode still have white/gray menus? 💀I like the app for the most part otherwise. But please fix this eye-nuke so I can edit without light-blindness every time I need to edit layer styles, tap any of the icons in the top right and whatnot. The templates on the start page have thick white borders too that can be eye-burning. TLDR; MAKE FULL DARK MODE PLEASE. NO MORE BRIGHT MENUS/ELEMENTS.

Memory and layer limitations and bugs.

I am a long time user of Pixelmator on both Mac and iPad. I am currently running the latest update of Pixelmator on an iPad Pro 6th generation 12 inch with iPad OS17. My work is very detailed and on many of my projects I often run out of layers. Combining layers as I work becomes tedious and makes future edits difficult. There are memory issues and a host of bugs. For example cropping no longer works. Saving modified images to photos has changed. File management and renaming files are awkward. Pixelmator is just not suitable for professional work even with a powerful iPad containing the M2 chip.

Had it Forever

My last review has changed after some discussion with the team. But a few things remain to be seen before this rating becomes 5 stars for me. I found out that I can simply revert my file manager from recent projects to files and photos. This made me feel much better navigating thru my projects. So that bumped up my rating. I would still like to see a “less IOS User Interface”. When you tap a layer and get that pop-up window that you have to painstakingly tap thru to get to the tool you are looking for that happens to be at the very end in the list, that could be reworked. It really slows down the speed of a project. I would like to see a full list of the tools appear upon taping a layer. Kinda like a right click on a desktop. Another great thing to see would be some form of perspective tool like the one native to Apple’s photos app. Again, as the title states, I have had this photo editing app forever. Its been awesome, and it’s an extremely powerful photo editing app. And there will always be room for improvement and opinions on what will make it better. But hopefully we can see some changes I’ve offered to them, and then I can return here singing their praises.
