Some apps excel at editing photos. Others at painting. And others are great for manipulating text, shapes, and all sorts of design elements.
Pixelmator is the rare app that excels at all three.
You don’t have to be an experienced designer to take advantage of Pixelmator’s prowess. The intuitive touch interface makes it easy to lighten, clone, saturate, and sharpen specific parts of an image. Single-tap color correction and dozens of ready-made templates produce professional-looking results fast.
The painting tools are just as fun: Customize your brush size and opacity and select from an infinite array of colors. Pixelmator also masterfully handles text, letting you rotate, rearrange, add a drop shadow, and much more.
If you have some design skills, you’ll appreciate Pixelmator’s support for layers (especially its ability to open layered Photoshop files) as well as its compatibility with a range of file formats. With iCloud, you can seamlessly transition between editing an image on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Which is a pretty neat trick in and of itself.
