![]() ![]() ![]() For those who need to quickly, easily, and powerfully edit images and graphics, Pixelmator is a fantastic value. It includes a full suite of tools for image editing, a fresh and easy-to-use interface, plus plenty of effects and the ability to perform layer editing similar to Photoshop. I’ve mainly used it to edit graphics as a Photoshop alternative, although it can also be used for some photo editing as well. The price is super reasonable (about $30 on the Mac App Store). I’ve personally used Pixelmator for Mac for years. Pixelmator for Mac and Pixelmator for iOS This week’s “App Spotlight” will feature Pixelmator for Mac, Pixelmator for iOS, Pixelmator Pro for Mac, Pixelmator Photo for iPad, and Affinity Photo (including for iPad). There are a few excellent photo and graphics editing apps that have fresh, easy-to-use interfaces, powerful and professional editing features (including some features not even in Photoshop), all without being tied to an Adobe subscription. For my personal use, Adobe Photoshop is overkill to warrant the subscription cost and management overhead since I casually edit photos and graphics more for a hobby, and even when I edit graphics for work, I generally tweak what other graphics professionals have already built (such as the excellent graphics from MetGraphics). While Photoshop’s subscription price isn’t that steep, and for graphics professionals that make a living on Photoshop will likely continue using it, Photoshop can be daunting for the “hobbyist prosumer” user (such as myself), as well as some professionals may simply not wish to be tied to an Adobe subscription just to edit photos and graphics. One of the most powerful and professional photo and graphics editing applications is Adobe Photoshop.
