Resprite iOS R53: Tiled Mode, PSD Import, and Material Color Sphere

Resprite iOS R53 is now available. This release focuses on three big workflow upgrades: the new Tiled Mode replaces the older tiled preview flow, PSD files can now be imported directly on iOS, and Material Color Sphere makes lighting-oriented color picking faster. Around those headline features, R53 also improves palette naming, timeline clip editing, color adjustment, bead pattern output, arithmetic numeric fields, and project compatibility across versions.
