DAMPEOPLES I've been using Elements 3 for quite a while. I'm no artist or pro photographer, heck, I rely on auto settings or trickery to get the job done mostly! Once I got a new machine with Leopard on it, I went looking for the new version of Elements, and read reviews that it didn't work, so I went looking for alternatives, and found this. As I said before, I'm not very good in the art department, but I do enjoy using Pixelmator for what little I do know how to do. All the tools seem to be in the same place, which is great. I've not had any image speed problems after the latest update, I don't know if the Core Image problem is fixed, but that's not a problem of this software at all. All in all, I really like the interface, it's laid out where I am used to finding things, and seems to do just about everything I would want an image editor to do for now. As far as the comparisons to Photoshop, that's pretty absurd if you ask me, nobody is going to sell you a replacement for a $600 app with a $60 one. I think I fall into the 'rest of us' category the tagline mentions, and i'm pretty happy with the app. (Version 1.1.4) |
