With the app, you can open and edit images in the most popular formats including JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PSD, HEIF, SVG, PDF, GIF, BMP, TGA, and JPEG-2000. The app is intuitive and accessible for anyone to use. The interface is so delightfully easy to use that it’s perfect for beginners or seasoned professionals. It features a wide range of professional-grade, nondestructive editing tools for your compositions. Pixelmator Pro is a powerful, easy to use image editor designed exclusively for macOS. I’ve used Pixelmator off and on for years and I’m happy to say that with their latest release – version 1.1.4 Monsoon – it’s more useful than ever before. I’ve found that Pixelmator Pro is the perfect blend of a full-featured app mixed with an easy-to-use interface. Other apps are easy to use, but lack options that you need from the ‘pro’ version.
Some of them are incredibly complicated to learn but have all the features you want from a professional editor.
Over the years, I’ve worked with lots of different photo editing applications.
How is it conceivable that, in the year of the Lord of 2022, 4 years after being initially promised for iPadOS version to be under priority development by Dr Andrius, head of the Pixelmator PR Team, there is still no way on Earth to open our hard worked on PXD files, from the MacOS version of the above mentioned programme to any of your apps on an iPad Pro with the same silicon M1 chip found in the newest, top of the line, Macbook Pro?Īs a senior Orthopaedic Surgeon, I have personally invested not only countless hours annotating and enhancing my patients MRI files in your programme, using dozen of complex vector layers to fully bring out to light crucial diagnostically relevant details, and spending hours upon hours of my own free time to master the functions your programme has to offer, but also thousands of euros to purchase and import the latest iPad Pro currently available in the US to Montenegro, in the hope that maybe, after the latter updates to the hardware introduced by Dr Cook this year, it would finally be possible to open a simple PXD file on a portable device, so that I could explain in the clearest way possible the pathophysiology and the outcome of the surgery to my bed ridden patients and their loved ones, only to discover that it is still indeed impossible to do so, unless of course I am willing to carry around the ward my iMac.Īm I supposed to believe that such an avant-guarde piece of technology such as the iPad Pro 2021 cannot handle such a simple task? The Pixelmator team has being saying they are working on it for the past 4 years: now, what am I supposed to make of this? Actions have to be taken and promises should not be given so lightheartedly, especially without the abilities to follow up on them.A complete professional option for editing that’s made specifically for Mac.
But now that there are iPads powerhouses out there - it’s time to refine your product and beef up its capabilities.
They get that it’s an iPad app - and it should be simplified for touch. I think Pixelmator for iPad’s charm is in its simplicity and ease of use. I’d hate it if they switched the iPad UI to resemble affinity (which is trying to appear like a desktop UI with its countless tiny undefined buttons that you can’t figure out what they do) And why so few shapes? Add these tweaks and I say it’s good enough to call pro for an iPad. They never guess the edges like you say they will, and they certainly don’t stick to color zones. The specialized selection tools don’t work as described. 3: Fix obnoxious little oddities like how the cloning tool defaults to the center of the whole image instead of the center of my screen (which forces me to leave my current position and go on a hunt thru my image to find the tool I just selected) the darken \ lighten tools don’t work as well as the pre April 2020 upgrade…they seem to desaturate making things grey instead of dark or light. 2: Include a couple extra missing tools like skewing. 1: Add ML so I can resize layers with near lossless quality. It’s easy to find the essential tools and adjust them. I much prefer the UI that they’ve developed for Pixelmator iOS.
In truth, I don’t know if I’d want a full version of Pixelmator pro for iPad OS.
