PIXELMATOR PRO FOR MAC REVIEW FREE
If you already own Pixelmator, I am not sure $59,99 is worth it.For over 25 years, the GNU Image Manipulator Program (GIMP) has been one of the most popular, free Photoshop alternatives on the web. It does fit the bill for simple image editing, that’s it.

The latter supports way more professional tools, extended layering possibilities, scalable history overview and PS plugins.įor sure Pixelmator Pro is a good buy when you do not own Pixelmator yet. If I think 'Pro' regarding image editing, I think PhotoShop-a-like apps like Affinity Photo. There aren't much new tool s to be found. This also applies to all available tools. But I do understand some users may dislike this way of working and prefer one window.Īs I already pointed out, Pixelmator Pro isn't better than Pixelmator. Yes, floating windows can also clutter up screen estate, but at least you can move them around. Sizable left and right panes cover the image at times and can be distracting to say the least, even if they are semitransparent. I really miss this in Pixelmator Pro! Maybe a feature like Affinity Photo to put them side-by-side could help. With Pixelmator you can open several images and display them at the same time. For example you cannot compare and work two or more images on one screen. This may seem clean to work with but again it can be counterproductive too. The big deal with this new version is having everything packed into one window. Certainly not the strongest part of Pixelmator Pro. Still, a good UI should be easy and intuitive to use not by exploration. Of course, ones you get customized with all features and the new UI, things will smooth out a bit. This is purely useful when you are using a (magic)mouse. You need to click and hold the button which is more difficult to do with a trackpad. Good idea but it doesn't work nicely when you are using a trackpad. Another thing I don't like is the Original button.

Maybe a right click on the whole icon would work much better.Īnd that is the main problem with Pixelmator Pro, everything needs to be explorer with trial and error to find out if it works (or not). The mouse pointer needs to be firmly onto the small pixel sized triangle to see the menu with additional tools. Clicking on that tiny triangle is troublesome at times. Some icons have a small triangle in the bottom right corner. I urge the coders to make this again colorful icons like Pixelmator or at least more bright/outstanding from the black background. Yes, if you wait 2 seconds the names are shown. I have good eyes, still I have to watch very closely what the icons represents. Icons are too small and sadly colored greyish and thin lined. Struggling with the UI is also to be blamed on the icons.
For example sharing a saved an user preset needs the knowledge to drag it out of Pixcelmator Pro window. To keep the UI simple, many things are kept well hidden.
Still, it's not necessarily better than Pixelmator and worth “upgrading”.įor example the new UI works against the user all the time. After playing with Pixelmator Pro for two days, I can honestly say it is not a big improvement compared to Pixelmator.ĭon't get me wrong Pixelmator Pro is good.
