Almost all mobile editors that I’ve seen just allow you put filters/text/etc over them.
I’m looking for an app that will let you have multiple layers, bring in a second image, cut out the background, resize and move it, etc.
Are there any apps like this?
Have you tried Photopea? It’s a free web app that’s a dead-ringer for Photoshop, and has a pretty decent responsive mobile interface. If you’re looking for a Photoshop-like experience on your phone, it’s probably your best bet.
Photopea, Gimp, and Krita are great desktop alternatives but they’re hardly mobile-friendly.
Infinite Painter is the closest to Photoshop that is an actual native mobile app, in my experience.
The Playstore says Infinite Painter won’t work on my device. What are the requirements? I have 6GB RAM and Android 13. What more could it want? Or is it generally only for tablets?
I have no idea 🤷♂️
It installed just fine on my OnePlus 6 and Samsung S21.
The manual says it works on “any phone or tablet”, running Android 7 or higher. Mine is a OnePlus 6T running LineageOS 20 (Android 13). On my much slower and less well-equipped Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite LTE (3 GB RAM) it installs just fine. Would it really object to being installed just because the phone has an unlocked bootloader? It isn’t rooted, and even banking apps work fine.
Strange. Maybe I’ll file a bug report. It looks like something I might spend $10 on if it works fine.
I’ve been using GIMP for almost 15 years at this point.
I have Photoshop, but I prefer GIMP as it is open source and has a bunch of community plug ins that are really easy to find and use.
I was about to scream GIMP! To the top of my lungs when I realized the mag I’m in …
There’s an android port called xgimp … but it doesn’t look great.
Guess you could try one of the standard closed source apps? I’d go with Pixlr
Krita has a pretty solid mobile version that’s got a lot of photoshop’s functionality. There are other art programs like ClipStudio Paint that can do a lot of that, too.
As mentioned below, since KDE is all Qt based, the Krita build is the exact same app that runs on desktop. I just tested it on a pixel 7 pro and landscape orientation worked great, but I also have used Krita and am familiar with the layout. If you’ve used Photoshop creating a layer in Krita and using the “paint” tool with an eraser brush sounds like what you want?
