> Pixelmator 3.0 FX is the most advanced version of Pixelmator to date, introducing lots of new features and improvements, including the following:
>
– Layer Styles: Thanks to non-destructive Layer Styles, creating polished and advanced compositions is now so much simpler, faster, and more enjoyable
– Liquify Tools: Shape images in multiple ways—slightly twist an element, add an artistic detail, or completely distort an entire image
– New Image Editing Engine: The new state-of-the-art image editing engine harnesses the full power of the latest OS X technologies making Pixelmator feature rich, yet blistering fast
– OS X Mavericks support: Tags, Multiple-Displays, App Nap support and more.
Another great looking release from the Pixelmator Team. This is easily one of my favorite apps on the Mac. Ever.
It is indeed quicker. OSX Mavericks actually resurrected my previous gen MBP. On mountain lion, it was a beach ball zone. Now, it glides. I might not even need to put an SSD into it.
Loving the update. Photoshop is becoming less and less useful to me.
I’m happy they added layer styles, but seriously, how am I supposed to edit photos without adjustment layers? They focused on optimizing for Mavericks, which got them some Apple attention and promotion, but nobody asked for that. What we have been asking for is adjustment layers. I bought this app a while ago, maybe one day I’ll be able to use it.
This is why I have both Pixelmator and Acorn in my Dock. They each do a couple of things the other doesn’t. And they both cost far less than Photoshop.
