This image editing app for the Apple Mac seeks to reinvent the user experience for both graphics pros & dabblers. It makes editing images on a Mac simple, inexpensive, & is innovative with its user-centered focus & editing tools enhanced with AI/Machine Learning.
If you’re involved in photo or image editing in anything more than a cursory manner then you’re most likely doling out around US$ 20/month on a Photoshop cloud subscription. Pixelmator Pro is the professional alternative that’s now available for a 1-time payment of US $59.99 on the Mac App Store.
Pixelmator Pro is chock-full of image editing tools that compete head-on with the Adobe behemoth. You can create compositions & designs, paint, draw, apply a wide range of effects, design text, etc. What’s more, it’s ease of use puts it in a different league. It ships with a modern, single-window interface that is designed for working with images on Mac & an intuitive UX focused on the needs of both absolute beginners & seasoned design professionals.
The machine learning-enhanced image editing features of Pixelator Pro really make it stand out. For example, the app automatically assigns descriptive names to the layers you add. Horizon detection intelligently straightens images, while you can remove objects & recreate images with stunning realism.
