danielserrano Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 sometimes I spend some time with the gaussian blur, but then I tried pixelmator and it was realtime on osX.. so you guys give it a try, you can even buy it at a reduced price and help some charities... here is the link: https://www.macheist.com/buy/invite/97738 and also you get a bundle of 14 apps... so far I'm very happy with pixelmator, snapz and istopmotion...the others apps I'm just trying them too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_mac Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Pixelmator is fine if you do *very* basic editing. It doesn't do RAW yet, and isn't colormanaged. It isn't anywhere near as powerful as elements is. The developers are a little delusional if they think they are anywhere close to a photoshop replacement. Lots of eye candy though...

gary_lester1 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hi, Been using Pixelmator for a few weeks now and it does quite a few things very well. For instance noise reduction, layer masking, file resizing and color picking. I don't need it to do RAW conversion since my MAC handles that very well as does Capture NX. I would not go as far as to claim it is anywhere near a complete replacement for the deep Photoshop toolset but overall an excellent editor for the MAC user.

stb Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Well, since it does not have adjustment layers, I fail to see how it can help me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielserrano Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 it's not a replacement.. it's just another tool or toy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
