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.

What's new in this version:

  • some of the Quartz Composer filters to show incorrect preview
  • selection inaccuracy sometimes when moving selected objects
  • the message “Your startup disk is almost fullâ€? to appear
  • printing problems after the dpi is increased
  • the picture to appear in an incorrect position after dragging it to the canvas area from the Photo Browser
  • selection-jumping problems when transforming selection after using the Magic Wand tool
  • adjustments or filters to be added to the wrong portion of an image for awhile after moving selection
  • selection not to rotate 90° or 180°
  • Flip function not to work with selection
  • Last Filter command not to work after using Quartz Composer-based filter
  • Photo Browser to show Aperture 2 items as folders (no Aperture support yet)
  • palettes to appear white on some PowerPC-based Macs
  • incorrect opacity setting when choosing black from Scratch palette
  • transform controls not to be shown after launching application with Move tool selected
  • palettes to disappear after changing display’s resolution
  • selection to jump after transforming it in zoomed-out view
  • content changes after transforming selection outside canvas
  • an incorrect result after using Transform, Rotate, and then Scale tools
  • A crash that sometimes occurred when saving relatively large images
  • Clone Stamp changing its position after mouse release
  • Print Help button not working
  • Console message with use of some transform tools that said “***-[NSCFDictionarysetObject:forKey:]:attempt to insert nil value (key:delegate)â€?
  • Beep notice when transforming empty selection
  • Transform constrain proportions not working correctly
  • Stability problems caused by transform tools after trying to Quit application

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.
