Wonderful, but flawed
Mia yun Ruse
Pixelmator Pro is absolutely what I would recommend if you wanted to develop professionally. However, unless you plan on using it very often, I would recommend you opt for Pixelmator Classic.Pro has a lot of improvements, including but not limited to:- The layer and tool panel are far superior to Photoshop! They are both well-designed and extremely clear, letting the focus lay on the image itself.- Layers can be filtered by kind or tag, and displayed visually, making it stupidly easy to scan for them in a complicated item;- Tools are easy to use and clearly indicated, with beautiful panels making it easy to use.However, if I can nitpick, there is a lot to improve that makes it hard to warrant the price, especially given that some features are present in Classic:- While the color adjustments and effects panels are wonderful, it is unclear how, as in Classic, you create a raw pane to have them apply to underlying layers rather than a single layer;- This same set of panels leaves a lot to be desired for adding effects - in classic, effects were visually shown, but now you must hit "Add" and scan for the name alone;And, finally, if I can be really nitpicky:- ML is hard to cancel; - I do wish the color picker allowed for greater sample size;- Replace Color (and all color adjustments!) can only be added once;- The "export for web" icon is a bit odd? It has some- A large clipboard lags out the "clipboard" item when adding a new image, as it demands to show me the image before it lets me select it;- The "Style" menu covers shapes, but not text color.
As everyone else says... very disspointing

Several years ago I moved across from a PC to a Mac and could not justify the expense of Adobe Photoshop so read the reviews of Pixelmator and decided to spend the relatively small sum of money to try it. I was extremely impressed. It was fast, had all the basic features I needed and always updating with new features and improvements. The only thing I personally did not like is floating windows which always get in the way for me. Race forward to 2018 and I decided to take the plunge with Pixelmator Pro. How could I go wrong? The company had always delivered. I was very wrong. I have a Macbook Pro wuth an 2.8Ghz i7 Processor, 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD yet I do even a basic 2 layer low resolution graphic and then try and move an object and I might as well go and make a cup of tea and possibly drink it before the app unfreezes and completes the job. I have tried it with various images and always the same. If you full size the window the whole thing freezes and does not unfreeze unless you close the app. This has been ongoing for months. I have no other apps open when this occurs. When I restart the app it looks promising but then it returns to a very sluggish experience. I have the latest version v1.2.1. Total waste of money and my time. Such a shame.

Fansatic, Easy to use

I've been looking for software to do more than basic photo editing for a while since purchasing my 2019 iMac with a 3GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5 Processor, 16GB of Ram and 1TB SSD. I have tried several others like Affinity Photo but found Pixelmator Pro easier to use, others may have more features and offer closer to photoshop experience but for someone with not much experience beyond the basic photo editing, Pixelmator Pro gives me more than enough tools to let me acheive great results. With regular updates and more new features being added on a regular basis I would highly recommend Pixelmator Pro to anyone who is new to photo editng, allthough I've only been using it for a few weeks and I have personly not experienced any freezing of the app what's so ever unlike some comments made in other peoples reviews and I feel it was money well spent.
My Go-To Tool for All Image Tasks

Those of us old enough to remember Macromedia Fireworks will know that that was a breakthrough graphics application for working with mixed bitmap and vector images. Sadly, Adobe bought Fireworks and discontinued it (after making it extremely expensive to own as part of Creative Suite). I can't help feeling that the Pixelmator team were also fans of that long-lost app, because Pixelmator Pro has resurrected everything that was good about Fireworks and taken it to the next level! I LOVE this application (and I'm probably using only a fraction of its power). I've even had a feature request answered in an update :-) Thanks to everyone involved in creating this next-gen stellar application (and, please, don't sell it to Adobe!)
