Demoed at Apple's iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 event, Pixelmator for iPad is out now
A week after being demoed on stage at Apple’s iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 event, Pixelmator for iPad has been released on the App Store.
Pixelmator is, of course, the long-awaited iPad edition of the original Pixelmator app for Mac, which was released back in September 2007.
As touted by the Pixelmator Team, Pixelmator is designed specially for iPad and iOS 8:
Pixelmator is meticulously thought through and created from the ground up for iOS 8 and iPad. Designed to take advantage of iOS 8 features and technologies. And engineered to leverage the full power of 64-bit architecture, ARC, Grand Central Dispatch, OpenGL ES, Core Image, and Core Animation to deliver state-of-the-art performance and responsiveness.
