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.

Pixelmator CommentaryComparison to Photoshop Elements? - Version: 1.3.1, 12/4/2008 07:35PM PST

I see some comments posted that Pixelmator does most of what Photoshop does at a fraction of the price. But wouldn't a better comparison be Pixelmator vs. Photoshop Elements 6? That's selling on Amazon for $72. Can anyone shed some insight on Pixelmator vs Photoshop Elements?

Pixelmator ReviewBest image editor for most people - Version: 1.2.3, 9/7/2008 10:13PM PST

I am a non-professional but ambitious photographer and I can strongly recommend Pixelmator for almost all users out there. The feature set is more complete than I need, all features are relatively easy to learn because of great training material available and at 59$ it beats everything in the market in value for money. I imagine that professional photographers who depend on specific photoshop plug-ins will miss these at the beginning but they may find work-arounds. Continue with the good work Pixelmator team.

Pixelmator ReviewOutstanding Value - Version: 1.2.2, 7/25/2008 05:55AM PST

While I don't like Photoshop's interface and consider it counter intuitive to most Mac drawing tasks (it is a photo editor, not a graphics package), hats off to Pixelmator for providing a near-zero learn time for anyone familiar the Photoshop.

At 1/10 the price of Photoshop and easily 10 times faster at startup, Pixelmator is suitable for 80% of what Photoshop does. Most people who think they need Photoshop could do nicely and better with Pixelmator. It is definitely worth a try. I don't use Photoshop at work or at home any longer because of Pixelmator ... and liked this so much that I bought a personal copy instead of asking work to get my Photoshop upgrade.

This one is a real gem and I do not hesitate recommending it.
