Command + D
Command + D should not be the qucik command for duplicate!!!!!! It Used to be the command for deselect. If Pixelmator is going to be a Photoshop alternative, which it is, then users need to be able to use the same commands they use when using Photoshop. This will ensure a NATURAL feel without having to relearn commands.
Great Product, but not seeing any changes in v2
Great product - been using Pixelmator for a while and ever since they finally put in the shape tools, it is now a very good competitor against Photoshop. However in v2, I'm not seeing any changes. They mentioned a new interface - nope, same as it always has been. They mention a new Tool Options bar - nope, same as it always has been. They mention that it now supports Lion Full Screen - so did the predecessor.
So although a great product overall and totally worth looking at as an alternative to Photoshop, I can't see any "enhancements" mentioned for v2. There simply isn't any.
Quick and Easy
Intuitive and simple. Better than Photoshop, it's less complicated and user friendly. No need to take a course, just dive in and create.
