Pixelmator for iPhone and iPad has today been updated to version 2.0.2 bringing even more features to the popular image editor for iOS and Mac. This update adds a new kind of brush stroke called Dynamic Touch, which simulates pressure sensitivity by examining the size of the finger input that touches the screen. Larger surface area produces thicker strokes on the canvas. Similarly, using just the tip of a finger results in fine lines in the app.
The update also ports the revamped Repair tool from the desktop version of Pixelmator to the iOS app. Repair allows users to quickly scrub out unwanted elements of a scene. The company says the feature is now five times faster and even more precise with this iteration. Pixelmator 2.0.2 also includes improvements to the Photo Editing extension, which now enables users to apply Pixelmator photo effects from within the native Photos app editing interface. In addition to these main features, there are a bunch of minor enhancements:
As a companion, the Pixelmator team is also releasing a set of user guides to explain to new users how to use the rich variety of functionality available. You can download guides for both iPhone and iPad for free from iBooks. You can also watch a series of video tutorials on the Pixelmator website.
