I have no use for this as I've never needed a Lightroom-like product but the Pixelmator Pro app always is a joy to use. I just need to do minor edits (add text, resize, layering stuff) and it scratches the itch that something like Photoshop used to for me. It's lightning quick, no BS update manager running in the background, and a 1-time $50 purchase. I've gotten a ton of value out of it and it's a very Apple-y app. I can't say enough nice things about it.
If you were driven away from Photoshop due to subscription pricing for something you use 1-2 times a week at most then take a look at Pixelmator Pro.
- juliusgeo 3y agoI would highly agree with this. I always wanted something slightly better than Preview, but not Photoshop (and all that encumbrance). Pixelmator is pretty amazing for quick edits and adjustments.
- joshstrange 3y agoLiterally exactly the same place I was. I needed more that just resizing and minor/basic edits in Preview but I couldn't stomach $21+/mo for something I used 1-2 times a week at most and sometimes go months without using.
- juliusgeo 3y agoIt's really confusing because the names are so similar, but I believe Pixelmator is still a one-time purchase, it's just Photomator that is a subscription. Completely agree on these subscriptions prices being way too high for very infrequent usage.
- rado 3y agoI also moved from PS to Pixelmator Pro and never looked back. It's great.
