Four workspaces in a single app<\/h2>\n\n

The new Affinity app for iPad brings together drawing, vector illustration, photo retouching and layout in four workspaces: Sketch, Vector, Pixel and Layout. We can switch between them while working on the same .af file and also keep working on the Mac whenever we want.<\/p>\n\n

The app’s big new feature compared to the desktop version is Sketch Studio, an environment designed for drawing with the Apple Pencil. With gestures alone we can turn strokes into editable vector shapes using the pressure and gestures of the pencil itself. The app offers us RAW editing, masks and multi-page documents. With this app, the iPad gets a full-featured tool<\/strong> and an excellent free alternative to Photoshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Free to create, with optional AI<\/h2>\n\n

All the app’s features are free, you just need to sign in with a Canva account. The artificial intelligence tools, though, require a premium plan<\/strong>. It gives you access to generative expansion, noise reduction and splitting images into layers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

A different take on Photoshop’s AI features that, without a doubt, catches the eye. An excellent design app for going beyond the Mac or PC when it comes to working with our images.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
