Have owned this for years but the 2.0.4 update has completely broken it for me. It will not allow me to save changes! What good is an image editor that won't save changes?

No, that's not something you add in a minor update. And AFAIK the Pixelmator Team does not intend to add it at all.

Pixelmator is a FANTASTIC tool. Powerful, fast, easy. Now two small/great improvement: the ability to turn off autosave for Lion (one of the worst Lion features imho) an finally the cmd+D to deselect.
Thank you team !!

When version 2.0 came, there was pinch-to-zoom. Very, very handy.

With version 2.0.1 the Pixelmator Team killed that feature. Without telling anything. Any questions in the forum unanswered. When I wrote an e-mail I got the message "we'll fix it soon". Now it's version 2.0.3 and still no fix.

I cannot recommend this editor enough. Yes, it is not a full blown feature-like Photoshop. But it comes very close (and eventually will be better then PS).
But for the money it IS the best of its kind. No doubt.

Kees De W had trouble on 27 Oct 2011
Is auto-save optional? (can it be turned of in the preferences?)
If not, that's a deal breaker for me.
I'm finding Apple's implementation of auto-save with the duplicate thing and self-locking files very counter-intuitive and truly disruptive to my productivity.

The whole concept that anytime a user opens any file, anything done to that file must be saved at all time, is fundamentally flawed to me.

Istra had trouble on 11 Jan 2011
the "glass" filter (under "distortion") displays a segmentation of the photo in square tiles; thin vertical & horizontal lines are visible on the canvas, getting sharper as I move the slider to higher values.

Anybody?

Why is it that in the newly opened AppStore it says the latest version of Pixelmator is 1.6.4, while here it says 1.6.2? And even if I check for updates within my Pixelmator, it will state that 1.6.2 is the latest version?

It would be a good idea for the developer to put a proper "Update Pixelmator" menu item under the application menu, or maybe the Help menu.

There's not nothing happening at all, the app is stable. :-)

Given 18-ish month turnarounds for the likes of Adobe products, a couple of months really isn't very long between major updates - these guys are a small company and do a great job.

I could do a Barrel Correction in a couple of photos using Distortion --> Bump.
It works well. I think it could be a little more logic, but it's a nice feature well implemented.
I am glad that Pixelmator does it.

No, I just try to say that I only had opportunity to test in a couple of pictures, not a plenty of them as I wish, that I downloaded to do the test. I did not find any tutorial, that's bad, it could exist because I think this is a important point. If you could make available your photo, I can try to reach the same "un-distorcion" effect using the tool. Anyway, if you want to, look here one sample of what I was able to do: http://twitpic.com/12s5x9

To me it's completely acceptable. Kudos to Pixelmator!

If you have Pixelmator 1.3 Tempo DON'T UPDATE TO 1.3.1 (or save the old version)!!!

There's a bug when resizing a layer. It turns semi-transparent. Wait for 1.3.2!

I downloaded and installed this application but have so far been completely unable to get it to launch. Every time I try to launch it, It quits immediately. My computer is an iMac 7,1 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, and Mac OS X 10.5.4 Leopard. I have verified all Permissions, as well as verified my Hard Drive, and all is fine. Has anyone else encountered this problem ? Has anyone got any suggestions ? I have sent 2 e-mails to the Developer but have received no reply. I am very keen to try out this application, as others have been giving it good reports.

This is great software that constantly keeps getting better. Unfortunately, in this version when I try to open the Photo Browser on my iMac G5 under 10.5.2, it completely freezes the system. This does not happen on my MacBook Pro.
