I love Pixelmator for digital scrapbooking! So many options and features!
It’s great, but sadly, it’s no Photoshop killer.
Agreed, John. I’ve purchased and used each major rev of Pixelmator, and like its look and feel, but it is missing all kinds of capabilities that would make it a substitute for Photoshop, starting with only limited support for 16-bit images. I would love to dump Adobe off my Macs.
Not yet. But give it time. Look at how many years it took Adobe to get Photoshop where it is – or even where it was 10 years ago.
I love it! Keeps me Adobe Free! 😊
I’ve got Pixelmator Sandstone, and it’s very good.
Would like a window that shows all the photo data, the way Photoshop Elements has, and which also includes a section to embed © information. Adobe makes viewing EXIF and raw data, etc, in a single click.
For the most part, though, it isn’t necessary to pay $99 for Photoshop Elements 13. Pixelmator is close enough.
