Pixelmator relies heavily on features of Core Image which are not available in versions of MacOS that don't have the App Store.
Affinity does everything in the CPU, which is also why it's slower - Pixelmator gets a lot of GPU acceleration.
(And frankly, complaining that it doesn't work on versions of Mac OS released over 9 years ago seems unreasonable.)
- dreamcompiler 6y agoThe latest Pixelmator won't work on MacOS 10.12, which was released 4 years ago. 10.12 most certainly has both Core Image and the App Store. Older versions of Pixelmator did work on 10.12. If you can find one, you can download it. But you can neither purchase it or activate it beyond the 30-day demo period.
- badsectoracula 6y agoHow is it unreasonable when other programs do work and your computers still works otherwise fine? Why waste money by dumping an otherwise capable computer just because of Apple's arbitrary planned obsolescence?
