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?
I’ve had to resort to multiple apps and they don’t work GREAT even when combined. I was just complaining about this!
I have Auto Photo Cut Paste for cutting faces/other parts out of photos fairly cleanly, and Picsart for actually combining/putting it together, but the Picsart tools seem kind of limited. It’s not a full Photoshop replacement.
if it gives you an idea of what’s possible. Face removed for anonymity.
Krita. It’s quite resource intensive and the UI has been ported directly from the desktop rather than being optimised for mobile, but it works, and it’s free and open source
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.
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.
