Why cant adobe have the best of both

[Sandeep Sajeev] “I love it, it’s fast, slick and very user friendly. I have been using it instead of Photoshop for almost 2 years. I only go into PS when something comes across with Layer Styles, as this doesn’t translate in Pixelmator. Once it does, it will be a good alternative for video editors”

Thanks for the heads up. Not heard of Pixelmator before but having just purchased and had a brief play around I have to say that I agree with you Sandeep.

With its ability to export layers (in Photoshop format) it works well with FCPX.

[Shawn Miller] “I think it would be good if Apple provided a serious challenger to AE”

Well, they’ve had Motion for a long-ass time already and haven’t yet, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Yeah, I think it’s more of a wish on my part. I’ve been waiting for someone to replace Combustion as a real competitor to AE for a long time. But I suspect you’re right, Apple probably isn’t interested in competing with AE in a meaningful way… otherwise they probably wouldn’t have killed Shake (dumbest move ever).
