Pixelmator, one of the best image editing apps available for iOS, today received a update important. Among the novelties included in version 2.2 of Pixelmator stands out the support for the 3D Touch screen of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus and the Apple Pencil of the iPad Pro. In both cases, the possibilities to draw or select / apply effects are multiplied, marking less or more depending on the force we apply on the screen.
In addition, the update also includes the Peek & Pop gestures, so we can preview the images from the gallery without having to open them, in the same way that we can do it with the native iOS photos application. They have also been added Shortcuts on the home screen that will allow us to create an image, open from the reel or open the Pixelmator gallery from the icon on the Springboard.
For users who have neither an iPhone 6s nor an iPad Pro with their Apple Pencil, the following new features have also been added:
- Collection of art brushes, including the Pixel brush.
- One-touch self-straightening.
- Improved straightening and cutting performance.
- Cut lines now show objects in our builds.
- Possibility of increasing the font up to 1000 pixels.
- Pixelmator is no longer the default application for opening PDF documents from iCloud Drive.
- Shadowed text is now exported correctly.
In addition to all of the above, and as with almost all application or system updates, Pixelmator 2.2 also includes performance improvements and correction of mistakes.
If you have not tried it and you are looking for a quality application to edit images from your iOS device, Pixelmator is one of the applications that is worth having. For me it is, together with Enlight, the best application to retouch photos. It is also available for Mac.
