CoverSutra kerfuffle highlights Mac App Store teething troubles

by Richard Gaywood (Jan 8th, 2011)

The Mac App Store is off to a great start, but it's not all sweetness and light. Users have been confused by how some third party apps bought elsewhere show as "installed" in the store UI whilst others don't -- and in fairness, it is confusingly inconsistent. Meanwhile, developers are struggling to ...

Pixelmator now $30, available exclusively on Mac App Store

by Steven Sande (Jan 7th, 2011)

Pixelmator is an image-editing app for Mac that has a lot of fans. For just US$59, it performs many of the tasks that can also be done with the much more expensive Adobe Photoshop. The developers, Saulius and Aidas Dailide, have announced that Pixelmator will now be available exclusively through the ...

Third-party apps not purchased via Mac App Store may appear as Installed

by TJ Luoma (Jan 7th, 2011)

Apple just released the Mac App Store, and with it came one very unfortunate feature. It was well-intentioned, but poorly executed, and it ends up being an "attractive nuisance," meaning that it's something that you're really better off ignoring: third-party apps not purchased via the Mac App Store ...

Pixelmator setting up shop in the Mac App Store

by Steven Sande (Oct 25th, 2010)

Pixelmator is a favorite Mac application around TUAW. The US$59 image editor is used by many of our bloggers to fix or manipulate the pictures you see here on the site. We were thrilled to see that the Pixelmator team announced on their blog that they'll be selling their application in the ...

Pixelmator 1.6 "Nucleus" released

by Mike Schramm (Jul 13th, 2010)

My Mac photo editor of choice, Pixelmator, has been updated to version 1.6 just recently. It's mostly a performance update, adding performance and bug fixes, support for 64-bit architecture, and a whole lot of polish for Snow Leopard. Additionally, they've redesigned the transforming tools, added ...

Fabian Kreiser has recently updated his screen capturing app for Mac OS X to include support iPad screen captures. Like previous iterations of the app, version 1.2 of iPhone Screentaker allows you to add certain design elements to your iPad screenshots. These include encasing them an iPad and ...

Iris suspends development, users can upgrade to Acorn for free

by Mike Schramm (Mar 18th, 2010)

I never actually used Iris (my image editor of choice is still Pixelmator), but the one-window image editor released a few years ago certainly had its share of fans. Unfortunately, those fans may be disappointed to hear that Iris' developer, Nolobe, has suspended development on the app. Nolobe's ...

Macworld 2010: TUAW goes to the mothership

by Mike Schramm (Feb 10th, 2010)

No Macworld is complete without at least one pilgrimage to the mothership in Cupertino, and so yesterday, before the meetings and interviews we're planning today, David Winograd, Dave Caolo, and myself made the trip to the Apple Campus. In the gallery below, you can see what we saw, from the boxed ...

Using iWork as an image editor

by Sang Tang (Sep 19th, 2009)

I recently noted the image-editing functionality of Preview.app, which can act as a "good enough" image editor for many that don't have access to Photoshop. While it's difficult to argue with the free price tag, Preview is not without its limitations. Fortunately, many of these limitations are ...

Pixelmator 1.5 Spider update out

by Mike Schramm (Sep 9th, 2009)

The Pixelmator team has released another update to my favorite little photo editor. Pixelmator 1.5 Spider brings a host of web exporting and sharing options, including a new "Save for Web" feature and the option to send a picture straight to Mail or iPhoto. Additionally, there's a new Trim tool ...

Pixelmator 1.4.1 brings noise filter, Pixelmator Learning with it

by Mike Schramm (Apr 22nd, 2009)

Our friends over at Pixelmator have released a new update, and while it's not quite as big as their point versions, it does add a few new features and a nice online guide to the program. The main new feature in-app is a noise filter that allows users to add random specks and pixels to an image, ...

Pixelmator 1.4 Sprinkle out now

by Mike Schramm (Feb 20th, 2009)

The folks at Pixelmator have released version 1.4, named Sprinkle, and it's now available from their site or from directly within the app. They've got more performance improvements in here, and the big addition this time around is brushes: not only are there a host of new brush options in the app, ...

Pixelmator releases 1.3.1

by Mike Schramm (Dec 1st, 2008)

The good folks at Pixelmator have released version 1.3.1 of their lightweight and smooth photo editing software. While the update is mostly "bug fixes and minor improvements" (isn't that exciting, unless maybe you really were waiting for "iSigh support" -- which probably means iSight), but there ...

Pixelmator 1.3 Tempo is on the street

by Mike Schramm (Nov 11th, 2008)

The team over at Pixelmator has announced the release of their much-awaited 1.3 version, which they've titled Tempo. TUAW did a preview of this version a while ago -- it features lots of back-end updates, making the app itself much, much faster, especially when handling large images. And it brings ...

TUAW preview: Pixelmator 1.3 "Tempo"

by Mike Schramm (Sep 25th, 2008)

We've praised Pixelmator here before (and we've even shared our love with the devs directly) -- I am by no means an image-editing professional (Photoshop and Aperture are way, way beyond my ken), but Pixelmator lands exactly where I want it to: it's a relatively lightweight application with just ...
