Pixelmator

From Macworld

These days, most Mac users have, to one degree or another, a need for an image editor, and many need something with more functionality than iPhoto’s built-in image-editing tools. It wasn’t long ago that the market was essentially Adobe’s Photoshop at the top with Gimp and Graphic Converter fighting for a distant second and third place. But the past couple years—and even the past few months—have seen a dramatic increase in the development of quality image editors. On Friday, we took a look at Acorn; today we cover Pixelmator.

Pixelmator, developed by brothers Saulius and Aidas Dailide, is a fantastic layers-based image editor that uses Apple’s Core Image to work much of its magic. With over 20 selection tools, 15 color correction tools, 50 filters, and support for over 100 file formats (including EPS, JPEG, PDF, PSD, RAW, and TIFF), Pixelmator is poised to fill the giant void between Photoshop and quick-edit newcomers such as Acorn.
