I'm struggling to find an app that does photo touchups on iPad Pro. I bought pixelmator thinking that it's the go-to photo editing app. But its touch up brushes are really lacking. The only thing you can control is opacity and size. You can't control feathering or even see which area has been brushed.

Does anyone do advanced photo editing on their ipads?

Have you done today's update as it adds a fair bit to the existing abilities.

I'm still at work but from the release notes I don't see any brush related functionality. It is nice to add pencil support though, so I guess the brushes should be pressure sensitive (to be verified).
 
Pencil support isn't even very good. The pressure curve is really strange and not to my liking at all. Haven't tried to see if you can it yet, though.

Went home and tested the update. It added nothing for brushes....you either have really large feathered brush, or a really fine and defined brush...
 
No, I've yet to really do major stuff on the iPP, I'm still getting the hang of it. But once I do I imagine i'll use Adobe... I wish there was Acorn for iOS, (the Mac version is nice.) I might even try a few of those free ones as they sometimes do some nice features/effects, (again despite being free.)

What exactly are you trying to achieve?
I find both Snapspeed and ACDSee are enough for my needs.
But I do occasionally use Photogene4 which can export images as TIF files and various JPG compression.
 
What about Lightroom, adobe offers LR for iOS. I use it on my Mac. While its on my phone, I really don't use it, but that might be something to look into.
 
I'm not sure what your point is. Reviews have suggested that Astropad is usable over wifi, but I haven't found that to be the case. I don't have any need to use Astropad over a wired connection because my MBP is already plugged into a Cintiq.
Might be time to upgrade that ole 56k then
