Fansatic, Easy to use

I've been looking for software to do more than basic photo editing for a while since purchasing my 2019 iMac with a 3GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5 Processor, 16GB of Ram and 1TB SSD. I have tried several others like Affinity Photo but found Pixelmator Pro easier to use, others may have more features and offer closer to photoshop experience but for someone with not much experience beyond the basic photo editing, Pixelmator Pro gives me more than enough tools to let me acheive great results. With regular updates and more new features being added on a regular basis I would highly recommend Pixelmator Pro to anyone who is new to photo editng, allthough I've only been using it for a few weeks and I have personly not experienced any freezing of the app what's so ever unlike some comments made in other peoples reviews and I feel it was money well spent.

Do not expect much base on other reviews

I was expected much higher base on other reveis and rating. I did not expect and intention to replace Adobe but really like to get a very light weight application. It cannot even do what Affinity Deisigner can do especially Text.

They way it handle is totally different and a lot of step require. For example Text. There is no transform tool for text. You have two option one is need to change the Font Size but they developer cannot even manage a simple way to change text. You have to click either up and down arrow to one size big/small OR you need to type the font size you want. The transform tool appear if you put text in a group. And if you have too many text then you will need tons of group.

Maybe my lack of knowledge or I am very used to Adobe, Affinity. Well my advice is do not expect too much from this app. If you find offer then you can try but not with Full Higher Price which you can get 2 of Affinity Application and can do more. I am not advising Affinity but I am still trying to find one application which combine Vector and Raster Image editor. Very tired to switch one app to another and that’s the reason I pick this app. Yes this app can do Vector and Raster but will take so much time than using two apps.

As everyone else says... very disspointing

Several years ago I moved across from a PC to a Mac and could not justify the expense of Adobe Photoshop so read the reviews of Pixelmator and decided to spend the relatively small sum of money to try it. I was extremely impressed. It was fast, had all the basic features I needed and always updating with new features and improvements. The only thing I personally did not like is floating windows which always get in the way for me. Race forward to 2018 and I decided to take the plunge with Pixelmator Pro. How could I go wrong? The company had always delivered. I was very wrong. I have a Macbook Pro wuth an 2.8Ghz i7 Processor, 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD yet I do even a basic 2 layer low resolution graphic and then try and move an object and I might as well go and make a cup of tea and possibly drink it before the app unfreezes and completes the job. I have tried it with various images and always the same. If you full size the window the whole thing freezes and does not unfreeze unless you close the app. This has been ongoing for months. I have no other apps open when this occurs. When I restart the app it looks promising but then it returns to a very sluggish experience. I have the latest version v1.2.1. Total waste of money and my time. Such a shame.
