May 23, 2014 at 4:50 pmSeriously though, speaking as a long-time Photoshop power-user and having watched a bunch of the tutorial videos, the app looks pretty great!

May 23, 2014 at 4:57 pmYes, keeping in mind how mature Photoshop is, the Pixelmator developers are very aggressive. Given they are Mac only and taking advantage of Mac specific functions helps in that regard as well.
I don’t doubt that Adobe’s move to subscription which may have increased Pixelmator sales (and potential sales) has motivated them.
Considering this is a $30 app they must have a very lean and productive development operation.

Yes, this app was 64 bit before PS was. The subscription model was why I bought it, as well as iDraw…

May 23, 2014 at 6:08 pmVery impressive, hope they develop this application even more. It has potential. Great little addition to go with Motion, fast, reliable and a pleasure to use.

May 24, 2014 at 5:13 amI was just messing with the new repair tool… Really nice. At least as good as the PS Context Aware feature, at least on the images I was messing with. Not quite as magical as the demo (what ever is though?), but impressive. 🙂

Nice studio setup you have there. Exactly what I am aiming for. Thanks.
