Tornasol is a layered image editor for iPad and iPhone. Layers and folders, masks, adjustment layers, layer effects, brushes and retouching, selections, type and a Camera Raw filter, on a canvas drawn by the GPU, with Apple Pencil pressure and gestures in place of the modifier keys. LAYERS THAT STAY EDITABLE • Layers and folders, with blend modes, opacity, layer masks and clipping masks. • Adjustment layers you can reopen at any time: Hue/Saturation, Levels, Curves, Exposure, Gradient Map, Black & White, Color Balance, Invert, blurs, grain and noise. • Layer effects: stroke, drop shadow, inner shadow, outer and inner glow, color overlay. • Move, scale, rotate, flip and distort layers without losing their pixels. PAINT AND RETOUCH WITH APPLE PENCIL • Brushes that follow Apple Pencil's pressure, and an eraser a double-tap away. • Spot Healing, Clone Stamp, Blur, Smudge and Liquify, and gradients. • Content-Aware Fill and Remove Background. SELECT EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN • Marquee, Lasso and Magic Wand, Select Subject and Color Range. • Feather, expand, contract and invert a selection, mask with it, or lift its pixels and move them. DEVELOP AND FINISH • Open RAW photos from your camera and develop them before they become a layer. • A Camera Raw filter with tone curves, an HSL and point color mixer, sharpening, defringe, Upright perspective, vignette and grain. • Filters: Gaussian and Motion Blur, Vignette, Bloom, Grain, Dither, Lens Correction and Tonal Contrast. • Type and shapes on their own layers. OPENS WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE • PSD and PSB files open with their folders, masks, blend modes, simple shapes and horizontal text still editable. • Bring in photos and images as layers, or start a project from several at once. • Export PNG or JPEG through the share sheet, to Photos, Files or another app. MADE FOR TOUCH • Pinch and pan with two fingers. Tap with two fingers to undo and three to redo. • Touch and hold with a finger where a Mac would want a modifier key: pick a color while painting, set the Clone Stamp's source, draw a shape from its center. Rest a second finger to constrain a line, a square or a move. • On iPad, a full menu bar and keyboard shortcuts when a keyboard is attached, and windows side by side in Stage Manager. • On iPhone, a compact layout with the tools along the bottom and the canvas still live under every sheet. YOUR FILES, ON YOUR DEVICE Projects are .tornasol documents in Files: they save as you work, can live in iCloud Drive and show their own thumbnails. Every edit can be undone. There is no account, no tracking and no data collected; your images never leave the device unless you share them. ## Is Tornasol safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Tornasol. ## Is Tornasol legit? Tornasol appears legitimate, with a few gaps. The AppsHunter Legitimacy Score for Tornasol is 65 out of 100 points across 7 verification signals from App Store and developer data. ## Version history (last 2 releases) ### 1.1 — 2026-10-14 Tornasol is now an iPhone Duo app. • Open the phone and the editor takes the whole display with the iPad's layout: the tool rail, the options bar and the Layers panel floating over the canvas, and the bar's controls in a column under the camera. • Fold it part way and the editor divides at the fold: the canvas on one page, and on the other the Layers panel at full height under a navigator of the whole picture, live, which a finger pans. Held like a book, the panels take the page beside the bar; set down like a laptop, they take the raised page, leaving the flat half to draw on. • Closed, the phone's layout, with the tools along the bottom. • Brushes follow Apple Pencil's tilt where the Pencil senses no pressure, so Apple Pencil (USB-C) draws the whole brush held upright and a thinner line laid flatter, with pressure still sizing the brush where a Pencil has it. • Two projects side by side in Split View on the open display. Also in this version: • The Layers panel's actions open in place under the selected layer: opacity, blend mode, adjustment layers, effects, mask and delete, so it is plain which layer an action touches. • The tool options are divided into groups, so each label sits with its control. • A new icon. ### 1.0 — 2026-10-14 No release notes. ## More apps by Pineapple Technologies Inc - [Coco - Build Mobile Apps](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/coco-build-mobile-apps/id6743986836) - [Slicks](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/slicks/id6746713889) - [Lulo - TCG Card Collector](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lulo-tcg-card-collector/id6757134469) All apps by Pineapple Technologies Inc: https://appshunter.io/developer/1551935239 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
