A fine graphics app. It is totally Mac from the ground up. For those accustomed to Photoshop or the like they will find its format, controls etc a bit strange and will takes some adjustment. That being said this app is extremely powerful and versatile. The Developers do listen to the users and make changes and improvements all the time. Then there no subscription, frequent significant updates, and new technologies make it a big competitor to Photoshop and similar apps. With the no subscription the price is right. There is also a companion app for IOS.
