Superimpose X Reviews

by RonHeiden

I use SuperimposeX daily and have loved it but this new update has caused lots of problems. I would normally give it 5 stars. I like that there are more layers but when I move a layer down in order the screen completely distorts and it’s impossible to tell what’s going on. The only solution I’ve found is to restart SuperimposeX .

I’ve noticed also when using the paintbrush mask the mask removes portions of another layer visually. It is actually removing what I want but visually I can’t see what’s happening.

The “Match Color” option in the layer dialogue only works about 50% of the time. It very often throws a completely random color in the mix. When it does match the color it is not exact and I have to use the color fill to correct it.

I don’t know whether SuperimposeX started being buggy after its last upgrade or when I purchased a new iPhone XR (I had previously been running SuperimposeX on a 6+), but I’m having major issues with brush tools now. The brush size radius is enormous regardless of what size I set the brush. It affects far greater an area than the red dot covers, which makes cutting in closely next to impossible. I’m also having crashing issues, which wouldn’t be horrible if it were not for the fact that every time SuperimposeX crashes, it fails to preserve any progress I’ve made between loading and crashing. That’s a huge bummer (and a waste of time and effort). Also, the hair-masking tool no longer functions correctly. It makes a pixelated mess instead of doing the beautiful blending job it once did, and that tool is one of the main reasons I upgraded from Leonardo.

I have been promoting your apps in meme groups since I discovered PhotoWizard back years ago. Please fix these issues. I have no desire to use anything else for photo editing.

alr so first, SuperimposeX is really good. It’s easy to use however there are some bugs. First bug: when I use one of the masking tools, after a while, it freezes and automatically accepts it messing up my mask. Second bug: again, when using one of the masking tools, while outlining the object it’s beings to delay and the lines show up seconds later. Pretty annoying. Third bug: sometimes when I merge layers, It completely messes up the resolution of that layer. Okay, so now some things you guys should add. First, a lasso selection tool similar to the masking one however only selects the area marked. This could be useful to only blur a certain area or coloring one in. Next, this would be really useful with the selection tool...a color bucket fill. This would be REALLY useful instead of having to mask and color the layer underneath.. last thing would be to find a way to add custom fonts to text and be able to turn text into its own layer. That’s all, please do and fix these things. Would make the experience a lot better..

I love this app, it works beautifully and has an updated look, all tools work and with a little time in SuperimposeX you’ll be able to figure out what is what. A few suggestions that would really work for SuperimposeX is adding room for more layers, sometimes you want to add more and it limits you at 8 so then you have to merge some together and it’s a struggle. Next is adding more fonts, the selection is nice but could add some more that are different styles, a lot of them look the same. Adding a save option for saving your most used fonts and filters would be nice as well. Other than those things it is a really great app and I use it daily!

SuperimposeX is very great and user friendly, but their is a few things that need to be improved. Most importantly, the layer limit. It only allows for 7 layers in a project, which is very frustrating and hard to work around. Second, when you tap and hold on a layer to open up the arrow panel, it is very easy to accidentally slide the layer slightly when holding it down. Third and least importantly, when creating a new layer, you can’t make it completely white. When you set everything to the maximum lightest you can make it, the color is very slightly darker than white, and is a light platinum color, but this isn’t hard to get around since you can just pull in a previously white background image.

I have downloaded and tried so many different image editing app on iPhone and almost all the time I have had to do some editing on one app, save image, open image on another app and edit then again save image and edit on another app to get the results I can get Now on only one App, Superimpose X. I have deleted all the other image editing apps from my iPhone except for apps that specialize in adding text because they have lots of different fonts. Superimpose X keeps getting better every month and there are some videos on how to use SuperimposeX and it’s features. I have done and keep on doing flyers, photo montages, placing combination of two different photos and a lot more and the results are awesome. I definitely recommend Superimpose X and the learning curve is easy and you can do any kind of editing in SuperimposeX . Just download and start using it right away and let your ideas flow and Superimpose X be your canvas.

SuperimposeX is absolutely packed with useful and creative tools. It is intuitive, and is a great value for the money. I initially used it for making sports schedule desktops by masking and overlaying player photos on top of calendar dates. They came out great! I had a technical issue, and the developer, Pankaj, was incredibly responsive and determined to get the problem solved. He did and I love SuperimposeX ... and the great customer service. I also suggested adding a 4:5 ratio to the constraint options, and voila! Now I have a template for making AppleWatch faces by masking out backgrounds of family photos. Great app. Thank you!

What’s there not to like? SuperimposeX is feature rich and is a one time buy not monthly with half the features. I use mostly layers and masking but SuperimposeX is as close to a PS clone as you can get for iPhone at least. I highly recommend this apps. To the developers the text feature has some glitches. I’d like also that when you create a text, it creates a layer. But I’ve learned to work around this by just creating a blank layer and adding to that. Love it! Can’t wait for more features down the road. ❤️

Highly recommend.

This is a very powerful app.

It can do A LOT of things.

If you’re familiar with Photoshop, you should find SuperimposeX easy to maneuver along with familiar features like: canvas size, masking, stacking layers, blending, blurring, shadowing, transforming, warping, motion blur, curve and perspective adjustment, etc…). They have very similar feels.

(If you haven’t used PS, don’t worry. It’s a pretty user-friendly app. Just take time to explore around at all the features it provides.)

I also love that you can save your work/images in HQ. Some graphic apps give you a finished product in a quality that’s worse than what you began with. But not this. It’ll give you a large image with crispy, clean, and sharp edges (if you choose the option to).

I highly recommend SuperimposeX. I’ve been wishing for something like this to come along and I now I can officially cross it off the list cuz it’s here. It’s this app.

It is exceedingly rare that I will review an app at all, and even then, it is nearly always bad. However SuperimposeX caused me to break that trend. It is probably my favorite photo app that is available. It is somewhat like Adobe Ps but it is optimized for iPhone. SuperimposeX is extremely easy to use, and if there is something you are unsure of, there is a library of videos to aid you with that. I download the former version of SuperimposeX years ago, and immediately upgraded to this one when it was available. I honestly don’t remember how much it costs, but it is WELL worth the money. 12/10 would recommend.

SuperimposeX is a step above most others on SuperimposeX Store but there are a few minor issues with how the top layer seems to lose memories of the color and brightness settings if other tools are used. Also there is a major issue with saving masks to the library and then using them, they seem to have a blue and colorful outline around the edges of the mask that covers the entire outside of the mask and shows up when the mask it restored. That is something that needs to be addressed in the next update or I just have a bug on my software. Great app, great tools, I do wish there were more color correction options but that’s it!

First of all let me start by saying that I have about 17 photo editing apps and this one is by leaps and bounds my favorite! I have so many because I’m trying to narrow down exactly which one(s) is the best so I can delete the rest. The only request that I would have right now is that there was a feature to install a water mark as I do a lot of photos for other people and I would like to have a way of personalizing them. If I have any other requests or suggestions I will be sure and let you know. As of right now this is a great app and will continue to recommend and suggest to other editors.

I actually got this because during the safer at home order and schooling at home I had set up a green screen for my son foe zoom. One of the assignments was taking specific pictures for spirit week. We have had fun manipulating pictures so that he is playing a game on the beach, reading a book on the beach, wearing his school shirt in front of the glass elevator on a cruise ship, and more. We are looking forward to having more fun and using more creativity over the summer. Some things were a little hard to find like removing the green screen but using the help we figured out the menu system.

I love the features of this app. At first I found it difficult to transition from Superimpose to this app, but I found a few really good videos that explained the interface, and how to use the features. I travel and make travel videos; using this app it is easy to replace a blown out sky, replace a background, or remove a person from one picture to use in another picture. There is a mask Library so I only need to create a mask one time. Photoshop and my MacBook are no longer needed.

I had a problem with the program, I wrote to the developer and received a fix for the problem the next day. Feature packed APP, and great customer service. WOW!

Thank you this app developers.

For the past six months I’ve been using SuperimposeX to train myself to draw realistically. I photograph the drawing, superimpose it in the reference, see what I got right, think about what I didn’t. My skills have improved exponentially.

The other apps I’ve tried have weird subscription models, distracting ads, an underpowered interface and feature set, or all of the above. This includes apps made by very major players (Adobe). It’s almost a shame SuperimposeX bills itself as a superimposition app with a dated icon because it’s a terrific all-around photo editing app. I’m afraid it will get buried in SuperimposeX store by inadequate products with flashier branding.

Pros
It’s basically a simpler version of photoshop on the iPhone. The user interface is pretty easy to navigate and figure out and it’s a lot of fun to edit with. SuperimposeX isnt limited in what it can do like many other apps on the iPhone. It can do about 70% of what you can do on photoshop for way way cheaper. For any shortcomings Superimpose has I can easily make up for in other apps like Baazaart.

Cons
There is an 8 layer limit on edits. While it’s easy to work around by merging layers that you are finished with, by doing so you can’t undo the merge, meaning you are stuck with anything you have and can’t go back and change it later. You can also work around the 8 layer limit by just saving the edit and combining it into a new edit that only takes one layer, it is kind of annoying to take the time to do that and if you decide you wanna change something you have to go back to the other edit. but it’s not too bad.

Overall a great app. I would recommend to anyone wanting to get into editing. It’s super cheap and easy to work with.

Love SuperimposeX, and for the price? It’s so worth it. I’ve had the old (free?) version of SuperimposeX for ages, it’s been my go-to for a while. so when I found out about this premium version I didn’t hesitate to purchase. It’s a bit of a learning curve, (which took me no more than a day to learn the ropes) but this is essentially a $5 alternative to Adobe photoshop, which I’m sure is no less than $100. A photo editor of this quality is very difficult to pull off on an iphone app, and I would highly recommend this for anyone who looking for a user friendly and powerful photo editing app. In fact— app gives adobe photoshop a run for it’s money, for about 5% of the cost.

Love it!!

It’s intuitive and easy to use. I use it on a daily basis. It’s essentially perfect. All I would ask for is some ability to customize settings more. For example, I usually want new layers to default to the base size. And I want to be able to order the photo albums how I want; currently newly created photo albums always get bumped to the top of the selection list. Also, I do a lot of precise overlays, and I would like a way to move a layer incrementally with some arrow buttons instead of by touch only. Or, if no arrows, a way to stop the layer from moving slightly when you release your finger from the screen. Currently, I have to tap on another tab to do that. Regardless, all of these things are minor issues. Overall SuperimposeX is great.

How I have missed coming across SuperimposeX is beyond me, but today I am a very happy enthusiast photographer. Coming from an adobe background, I had high expectations for a layering app. I am happy to report that this app not only met my expectations but exceeded them!! For five dollars you get an extremely powerful layers/blending app that has a very intuitive and beautiful interface! Clearly SuperimposeX developer has a photography/art background because SuperimposeX is really feature-rich!

Today I needed a simple overlay of graffiti on a plain cement wall. The layering and blending features are straightforward and easy to use. In fact, the feedback was very positive from other photoshop users. I am still learning all the features, but from what I can tell, SuperimposeX will up my go-to app for layers and blending. Thanks so much to the developers!

Ok, so I love SuperimposeX. It’s my favorite and best one I’ve tried that are like it. Many ways to get a good cut out. But there is a problem. Shadows are very important when combining photos, and your shadow thing is far too simple and buggy. First of all, it doesn’t work right. You’ll have different shadows for different layers (obviously), but when you change the opacity or blur of one of the shadows, they can all change. Which ruins everything. And also, once you make a shadow, you can’t keep going back in to adjust it. Which isn’t good considering how important they can be. And sometimes when you take the blur or opacity all the way down to see the difference it makes, it like gets stuck. Then you have to trash the whole thing and start again. Notice I still gave SuperimposeX 5 stars. Cause it definitely deserves it. Just PLEASE fix the shadow feature, and it’ll be an almost perfect app.
