Reshape areas of an image in Pixelmator Pro on iPad
Use the reshape tools to apply subtle corrections or dramatic artistic effects by distorting, bumping, pinching, or twirling specific areas in an image.
In Pixelmator Pro on iPad, select a layer in the Layers sidebar.
Swipe down from the top of the screen to reveal the menu bar, then do any of the following:
Choose Tools > Reshape > Distort to push and pull pixels of an image in any direction.
Choose Tools > Reshape > Bump to move pixels outward from the center of the tool as you drag in the canvas, creating a “bloating” effect.
Choose Tools > Reshape > Pinch to pull pixels inwards towards the center creating a “squeezing” effect.
Choose Tools > Reshape > Twirl to rotate pixels in a circular motion.
You can also select any of the reshape tools from the Tools sidebar, by touching and holding the reshape tool group icon (
), then choosing a tool from the menu.
In the toolbar at the bottom, adjust the settings:
Brush size: the slider to adjust brush size.
Strength: Tap
, then drag the slider to adjust the intensity of the effect.
Twirl Right or Twirl Left: For the Twirl tool only, tap
Drag in the canvas to reshape an area.
