Can anyone using both apps can compare and tell me which one do you find more useful? I was told that Pixelmator was a decent Photoshop alternative but other people call it a just bigger Instagram because it relies a lot on filters... On the other hand, Procreate is my favourite app for creation and editing and all that but lacks lasso, quick selection, delete selection, etc.

Thanks in advance!
 
Stick with Procreate. Pixelmator is good for editing, but Procreate is the better canvas.

The filters are fine, they aren't tacky like in most photo apps. And they also have the kind of filters that you'd find in Photoshop too.

I have a first gen iPad Mini, and apparently they've not included some things.

Thanks! I guess I'll stick with Procreate and iDraw and rely on the Photos app for editing brightness and all that stuff.
