Product Description:

Pixelmator, the beautifully designed, easy-to-use, fast and powerful image editor for Mac OS X has everything you need to create, edit and enhance your images. Someone who is editing images must be able to select the right shapes, portions or objects in images. With Pixelmator’s powerful, pixel-accurate collection of selection tools you can quickly and easily select any part of your images. That means you can edit and apply special effects to portions of your pictures, remove unwanted objects or even cut out objects from one picture to put on another. Thanks to the masks palette in Pixelmator, you can even save your selections for later. Now, that’s handy.

This update adds so much more features then you should ask from a regular unpaid update! Good work guys :-)

* no save to web
* very slow save
* huge files

as the headline said, Pixelmator is not suited to any kind of production work and is way overhyped at this point. It looks good but you can't get any work done.

I wish it were the Photoshop killer, but for the moment the Dalide are not Jack and this is not a beanstalk.

Still keep going back to photoshop - Version: 1.1.4, 5/8/2008 08:35PM PST

I'm rooting for this app, I really am... but it needs at least some basic layer effects like dropshadows, etc. before I can really use this more often and justify the (granted, small) expense.
