Pixelmator
is an excellent image editor in a gorgeous interface. It may not offer
Photoshop shortcuts, nor all of the effects you can find in Adobe's
image editing app, but Pixelmator looks great, is very intuitive and
has pretty much all the effects and filters you'd need.
Features:
Precise selection tools 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.
Full assortment of painting tools Another
bunch of tools in Pixelmator are painting tools. The real greatness of
these tools is the ability to use different brush sizes, shapes,
hardness, even blending modes when painting. You can paint with
Pixelmator as you would traditionally, play with beautiful gradients or
even fill colors with other ones. There has never been a more
satisfying way to paint. What’s more, Pixelmator’s painting tools can
be used not only for any style of painting, but also for improving your
selections with masks or even retouching.
Retouching tools It
is a snap to perfect your aging or buggy photos with Pixelmator. With
its advanced retouching tools you can easily blur hard edges or sharpen
fuzzy areas of your image. Or paint with a sample of an image to remove wrinkles
from faces or scratches in your photos. In fact, you can use any of the
adjustment or painting tools to polish or to refine your images.
Every tool you need The
coolest image editor comes not only with handy and powerful selection,
painting and retouching tools, but it also has everything you need for
typing text on your pictures, analysing colors, cropping, transforming,
moving anything in your pictures or navigating through your images. With Pixelmator’s easy-to-use but powerful tools you can do a lot more with your images than you ever could before.
Layers Of
course, Pixelmator is a layer-based image editor. You can quickly
create layers from your photos, other pictures, from selections or even
your iSight. Yes, Pixelmator can add a layer to your composition
directly from your Mac’s little camera. Not only can you link and
arrange added layers, but Pixelmator allows you to blend layers, change
their opacity, create clipping masks or even add layer masks to hide
some portions of layer.
Powerful color correction tools Pixelmator
features a simple and elegant collection of intuitive color correction
tools. Using these tools you can fine-tune hue, saturation, and
luminance; adjust exposure, color levels, brightness and contrast; use Auto Enhance to dramatically improve less-than-perfect images with one click; even use Curves, Color Balance, Channel Mixer and much more.
Breathtaking filters and effects Pixelmator
is the real filter-machine. It has over 130 filters and special effects
for your needs. Just choose any of nicely designed distortion, blur
sharpen, color, stylize, halftone, tile generator, transition and
Quartz Composer filters and boom -- you see the result in real-time.
Compatible with everything One more thing: Pixelmator supports over 100 different file formats. You can open and save
in PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, EPS and scores of other image formats.
Above all, Pixelmator can open and save Photoshop files with layers.
You are never alone with Pixelmator.
