DESCRIPTION
Pixelmator is a beautifully designed, easy-to-use, fast and powerful image editor for Mac OS X has everything you need to create, edit and enhance your images.

Pixelmator is a layer-based image editor. You can quickly create layers from your photos, other pictures, from selections or even your iSight. Yes, Pixelmator can add a layer to your composition directly from your Mac’s little camera. Not only can you link and arrange added layers, but Pixelmator allows you to blend layers, change their opacity, create clipping masks or even add layer masks to hide some portions of layer.

It even has iSight compatibility so you can have it take a picture and add it as a layer for editing.

TICE  - Finally the "Select all"-layer problem solved (who wanted to select "all layers"?)!

- The lighter tools are much better to identify!

- German Pinsel and Verlauf palette name corrected (yeah!)

Good small update. Now on to "Save for web..." preview! ; )  (Version 1.2.2)

NOTAFOOL  I downloaded and installed this application but have so far been completely unable to get it to launch. Every time I try to launch it, It quits immediately. My computer is an iMac 7,1 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, and Mac OS X 10.5.4 Leopard. I have verified all Permissions, as well as verified my Hard Drive, and all is fine. Has anyone else encountered this problem ? Has anyone got any suggestions ? I have sent 2 e-mails to the Developer but have received no reply. I am very keen to try out this application, as others have been giving it good reports.  (Version 1.2.2)

MICHAEL CEO  This application looks stunning and covers my basic image editing needs. It doesn't get 5 stars because it doesn't offer a built-in drop shadow or reflection filter, something "the rest of us" like myself need frequently.  (Version 1.2.1)
