Adobe Photoshop Fix & Mix get iOS 9 multitasking, iPad Pro support

By Roger Fingas

Adobe has updated its two main Photoshop apps for iOS, Fix and Mix, with full support for iOS 9's multitasking features, as well as the upcoming iPad Pro.

Photoshop Fix

The two apps now both offer Split View on iPads, allowing them to work side-by-side along other apps that support the feature. The option is also restricted to the iPad Air 2, Mini 4, and Pro.

Pro support will allow the tablet's users to edit larger images than on other devices. Adobe did not, however, mention specific resolutions or filesizes.

Likewise, though the apps should have "basic" Apple Pencil functions, Adobe didn't elaborate on what that might mean. The stylus offers tilt and pressure sensitivity.

Photoshop Mix

Photoshop Fix

is geared towards retouching and restoring images, using various brushes, and adjustment tools for focus, color, exposure, and saturation. Mix is built around cutting, combining, and layering, though some basic image adjustment tools are present.

Both apps are free, and run on any device with iOS 8.1 or later. Users must, however, have an Internet connection and an Adobe ID to make use of them.
