Pixen overview
Pixen is a professional pixel art editor designed for working with low-resolution raster art, such as those 8-bit sprites found in old-school video games. With features like a unique color palette system, patterns, layers, and high-zoom support, Pixen packs all the tools pixel artists need in an intuitive, Mac-native interface. Pixen also makes creating frame-by-frame animations fun and easy.

Version: 4.1.3
On the Macupdate page you can read "Free • Absolutely Free", well that is not correct. On the MacAppStore and on the Pixen website the program costs $ 10. That is not really the definition of "free". I have not found a test or demo version of Pixen. What about "try before you buy" ? The pixel paint program PikoPixel is really free !

Version: 3.5.7b3
I like Pixelmator a lot but if you need to edit small pictures this is much better imo
Very easy for pixel perfection.
Both essential graphics apps!

Version: 3.5.6b3
Versions after 3.5.3 no longer work with Mac OS X 10.6. The developer only provides links to the latest version, but this is no good for those of us still using Snow Leopard. To MacUpdate and/or the developer: Please provide a link to Pixen 3.5.3!
