So clean. So concise. So clever.

I bought Pixelmator because I wanted to be rid of paying for photoshop and lightroom. Hundreds of dollars each year for the rest of my life? No thanks.

I couldn't figure out if I liked Affinity or Pixelmator more. So I got both. Affinity feels more like photoshop. Like a twin brother. Maybe less evil. Affinity "feels" more like a full on editing app to create super complex images and designs.

Pixelmator is more like a sassy sister. She looks sweet and innocnent. But she packs a wallop. Pixelmator's photo editor (exposure/colour) section is really cool. It acts like Lightroom.

However, I'm finding it to have just as many features as Affinity. But in a very streamlined way. I think if you are new to editing, you're not familiar with photoshop...I'd go with Pixelmator.

Or for about the price of Adobes yearly subscription pay for both...ONCE!

Excellent App

We are artists and help to operate an art gallery. I use Pixelmator Pro to create greeting cards and an annual calendar for the gallery (and a few other things). It is very good and ideal for our purposes. I don't have much of a background in using computers.... and I am probably unaware of some of the features of this app, but it hasn't been hard to learn how to use it to fulfil our needs. Best wishes from Nelson, New Zealand. Stephen Coote.

So helpful

I am a relative novice when it comes to graphics work. I have had the mixed fortune to use PhotoShop and while I am sure it is an amazing tool for the professional, it was way to complicated for me. PixelmatorPro to be a good middleground. I can do all the things I need and there is plenty of room to do a lot more sophisteicated stuff.
I particularly like the ML Super Resolution option when resizing images.
