Pick of the week: Pixelmator
Posted on Sun, 04 Oct 2009 in Pick of the week
This weeks pick is a mac app called Pixelmator.
Pixelmator is a lightning fast image
editor for the mac - kinda like a
Photoshop
lite but unlike
Photoshop
((With each new version of
Photoshop it
seems to move further away from being a true mac app.)),
Pixelmator really feels like it was
build for the mac. Pixelmators
feature set is some what smaller than its big brother but most
((Unless you are need an image editor for professional reasons, it
will get the job done every time!)) of the time it will get the job
done. I have been using Pixelmator
for a litter over a year now ((I got it as part of the second
MacHeist bundle.)), and
Pixelmator just keeps getting better
and better with each new release. The
latest release
brought the long waited slice tool which is of great use when
creating graphics for the web. Another great thing about
Pixelmator is their
tutorial section on their
website. There the creators of
Pixelmator shows you how to use it to
create all kinds cool effects.
Pixelmator costs just $59 ((Which is
approximately 43.19 EUR, and is way less than any version of
Photoshop
costs.)) and is truly "Image editing for the rest of us".
