Image editor Pixemator hits 1.0

Pixelmator image editor icon art The much-buzzed image editor Pixelmator has just been released in all it’s 1.0 glory, which means the rest of us can download the demo and if so inclined pick up a copy ($59).

I have played around a bit with it and it seems pretty darn cool. Once I have a chance to compare it to Acorn I’ll get a review up here.

One downside for me: no Wacom graphics tablet pressure support in the 1.0 release, but their forums say it’s on the list of features to come. I was really hoping to have a more Photoshop-like lightweight alternative. Acorn is great for quick photo editing and resizing, but the tablet support is just barely there (but there).

It’s great to see two Max OS X software applications for image editing coming out to give users an alternative to Photoshop. The competition is sure to benefit the customers.
