![]() As such, my review won’t cover the core features that cater to those audiences. My day job involves some technical project support on websites, so from time-to-time I use the more graphic-art oriented tools on my laptop’s image editing software, but I doubt I will be a heavy user of these tools on Pixelmator for iPhone.Īlthough I may dabble in that functionality, you’re better off getting those perspectives from a fully-fledged web designer and/or digital painter (which I am not). First, my main use for this app is photo editing, as I imagine is the case with many readers of this site. Pixelmator for iPhone markets itself as an on-the-go app for photographers, digital painters, and graphics artists, and as such provides an array of tools for these various use cases.īefore delving into my review, I should give some background. This app is a steal for $4.99 -you won’t regret it. Put simply, Pixelmator for iPhone is equally praiseworthy. If you have been waiting for a killer iPhone photo editor with desktop-class tools, read no further. The recently announced Universal version (both iPad and iPhone) joins the tried-and-true OS X application as well as the more recently released iPad app, which has already received a glowing review from Joseph. In this case, the mask is already pretty accurate but the edges aren’t fully refined.Pixelmator has arrived to iOS in full force. In the comparison below, the image on the left is the original and the one on the right shows the mask created by the subject detection feature. If you’d like a closer look at how this all works – read on! Step 1: Find the subject of the imageįirst, we need to find the subject of the image. Because Pixelmator Pro does much more than just simple background removal, we decided to create three algorithms – one for detecting the subjects of images, one for refining selection edges, and one for decontaminating the colors at the edges of objects. How the magic happensĪll this is powered by a set of machine learning algorithms that we’ve spent the last 12 months developing. This brush is designed to be used specifically on tricky edge areas – create accurate selections of those areas by simply brushing over them. Refine Edge Brushįor anyone who wants absolutely pixel-perfect selections of every single area in an image, we’ve added a Refine Edge Brush. ![]() Again, with just a single click, you can go from a rough outline to a perfect selection. If you have a rough – or even quite accurate selection – you can refine it automatically using the totally redesigned Smart Refine feature. To help you get the most out of this tool, we’ve got a great tutorial on it – check it out on our YouTube channel. Here, you’ll find a completely redesigned Smart Refine feature and other tools that make it a breeze to select even the most challenging areas of an image. This is designed to make it easy to select the most difficult areas of all – hair, fur, and similar objects with very complex edges. To make it possible to make incredibly accurate selections of any object, we’ve created a new Select and Mask tool. And if you’d like to refine that selection down to the tiniest detail, we’ve also got a… ![]() Although this is usually done automatically when it makes sense, you can also apply it yourself to any layer – even ones that have been cut out in other apps.Īnother totally magical new feature is automatic subject selection – with just a click, you can make a selection of the subject of any image. The (AI-powered) Decontaminate Colors feature automatically removes these traces so objects blend seamlessly with any new background. When you remove the background from an image, the object left behind can often have traces of the previous background around its edges. In addition to being available in Pixelmator Pro itself, the Remove Background feature is also available in the Finder app as a Quick Action! Decontaminate Colors If you’d like to learn more about where to find this feature, we’ve got a super quick tutorial on it that you might enjoy. In fact – we’ve created three separate machine learning models to each do its little bit of magic. We’ve trained a convolutional neural network to find the subject in pretty much any image and automatically remove its background. With today’s update, you can now magically remove the background from any image with just a click. ![]() Not just that, starting today, Pixelmator Pro is also going on sale for 50% off! Pixelmator Pro 2.3 – codenamed Abracadabra (because it’s totally magical) – brings a new automatic background removal feature, automatic subject selection, a new Select and Mask tool, and more. Not even a full month since our last major update, we’re bringing you another huge update with some truly amazing new features.
