Brushes that feel right

Pressure, tilt and a stabilizer on every brush, with a per-brush pressure curve. Wet paint that picks up and mixes the colours already on the canvas. Tapered strokes, colour jitter and two-tone brushes. Design your own in Brush Studio, or import brushes and textures.

Apple Pencil Pro ready

Hover to preview your brush before it touches the canvas. Squeeze for a quick palette, barrel roll to turn flat brushes, and double-tap to switch tools.

Layers like a pro

Groups, masks, clipping, alpha lock and 24 blend modes. Adjustment layers for Levels, Curves, Hue/Saturation, Color Balance, Gradient Map and more. Layer effects: drop shadow, outline and outer glow.
