Image editing tool Pixelmator 2.0 will be released on Thursday with many new features. I’m going to post a few screenshots of the new app along with a short description of what you can expect from some of the new features.
Tool Options: A new bar at the top of each window shows the settings of the currently selected tool.
Info Bar: Provides information about the photo on the top of each window.
Drawing and Shape tools: Used to create and edit vector shapes. It also includes a Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon, Star, Line shape tool.
Smudge, Sponge, Burn and Dodge Tools: I’m sure you know what all of these tools do.
Auto Save and Versions: Taking advantage of OS X Lion, Pixelmator now auto saves documents for you, so you’ll never lose anything. You can also browse through changes you made using Lion’s Versions capabilities.
That’s just a quick look at a few of the new features. There are so many cool new things like a Content Aware Healing Tool.
Can’t wait! 1.x is already my favorite Photoshop alternative by a mile.
Does it have a stitching function for making panoramas? If so, I’m sold. Buh-bye Photoshop Elements.
That’s great. I have 1.x which I use occasionally. Too often I’ve found I needed to draw a shape and had to switch to Photoshop Elements. I’m really looking forward to the vector graphics. I hope they turn out to be justified for spending the time to make 2.0 awesome. And that they’ve learned their lesson about pre-announcing. 🙂
Looks gorgeous. I can only hope apps like this drain off enough potential Adobe business for the latter to price their own apps more competitively.
Pixelmator is getting better with each release. Hope to be able to use it full-time in place of Photoshop soon!
YippieCaYo! Morgen Kinder wirds was geben!

…and I get this for free as a recent 1.x buyer *big smile*
