Edit photos with tools including levels and curves adjustment, a repair tool for removing blemishes, clone tool, and distort effects powered by Metal. Paint with over artist-designed brushes including watercolor, crayon, and pixel art brushes with double texture technology and Apple Pencil support with pressure and tilt sensitivity.
