![]() ![]() Pixelmator Pro will be Mac only, and it is using Metal 2, so I suspect it will require High Sierra too. It also uses machine learning to enhance selections and for removing objects. It is also making use of machine learning (I presume using Apple’s new machine learning libraries in High Sierra) to do interesting things, such as automatically naming layers based on the content of the layer. (On the other hand, I’m sure some people are thinking “not another RAW editor” !!!) I would imagine it uses Apple’s Core Image for its raw engine. They go into quite a bit of detail about their raw engine, so it will be interesting to see how it compares. I’m not sure i this means you can apply masks and so on to a raw file too, but I presume it does. It has a feature called “RAW Layers” which means you can have multiple raw images in a document, in layers, all the file retaining their “rawness” and keeping the edits non destructive. Which leads me to the second thing that caught my eye… Image editing functions are also non destructive. Think of it like having Photoshop’s smart layers, but always on, and without the limitations. In particular this is very useful when arranging layers in your document. The application does a lot of this already, but they have made it a key point of the new one. It looks really nice, and it has some nice features too.įor a start it try to keep everything non-destructive. Pixelmator Pro seems to throw that out the window and create a whole new style of application. ![]() For some time now, any of the “photoshop competitors” that have been released (including the current version of Pixelmator) have seemed to try and create a better version of Photoshop, and they have stuck to the Photoshop style of interface. What has me really excited though, is that it’s a completely new style of interface. ![]()
