Pixelmator has released a new version of the popular Photoshop alternative for the Mac, in the form of Pixelmator 3.3, and the latest version of the app has been optimized for OS X Yosemite.
Pixelmator 3.3 has had a new design which has been inspired by OS X Yosemite, and it also comes with support for a number of Yosemite features like Continuity and Handoff.
New Design and Features
The new design of Pixelmator 3.3 is sleek and modern, taking full advantage of the aesthetic and functional improvements introduced in OS X Yosemite. The interface has been streamlined to provide a more intuitive user experience, making it easier for both novice and experienced users to navigate the app. The integration with Yosemite’s Continuity and Handoff features allows users to start editing an image on their Mac and seamlessly continue on their iPad, or vice versa. This cross-device functionality is a significant enhancement for users who work across multiple Apple devices.
In addition to the design overhaul, Pixelmator 3.3 includes several new tools and enhancements. For example, the app now supports iCloud Drive, making it easier to store and access your projects from any device. The new Repair Tool is another standout feature, allowing users to quickly and easily remove unwanted elements from their photos with a single click. This tool uses advanced algorithms to fill in the gaps left by removed objects, producing professional-quality results with minimal effort.
“We are very excited to bring this awesome Pixelmator update with a brand-new look and feel,” said Saulius Dailide of the Pixelmator Team. “With the redesigned interface, full OS X Yosemite and Pixelmator for iPad support, Pixelmator fans can now fully enjoy seamless image editing on their Macs and iPads, too.”
Enhanced Performance and Usability
Pixelmator 3.3 is not just about new features and a fresh look; it also offers enhanced performance and usability. The app has been optimized to take full advantage of the hardware capabilities of modern Macs, resulting in faster processing times and smoother performance. This is particularly noticeable when working with large files or complex projects, where the improved efficiency can save users a significant amount of time.
The update also includes several usability improvements based on user feedback. For instance, the Layers palette has been redesigned to make it easier to manage complex compositions. Users can now group layers, apply masks, and adjust blending modes with greater ease. The new Smart Move Tool automatically detects the object you want to move and selects it for you, simplifying the process of rearranging elements within your project.
Pixelmator 3.3 is available as a free download for existing users of the app from the Mac App Store. For new users, the app is available for $29.99, which is a competitive price considering the range of features and the level of performance it offers.
