"Cheap Mac-only image editing - might replace your need for Photoshop"
5/5
What do you like best about Pixelmator?

For a very small price ($29,99 but occasionally less with promotions), you have a very complete, Mac-only image editor. It is not Photoshop, but comes pretty far for most day-to-day editing tasks.

The interface is black and glossy and appeals to the Mac interface, although more on the level of consumer apps.

The GUI is well-thought out and does the work very efficiently.

There are several filters and image tweaking functionality. Selection tools are adequate and reliable.

There is even a context-aware heal tool, that can easily remove unwanted parts from images.

Text-editing is fine, but not stellar.

There is even an integrated Vector-path editing mode if you active the "Vectormator" hidden shortcut. But, alas, that does not allow vector-export. Paths and shapes stay vectors in the native PXM format, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pixelmator?

It is not a full Photoshop replacement, but can do most major image editing tasks. Most effects applied on layers are final. You can not tweak them afterwards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
