I'm very impressed with this software. I've paid thousands of dollars to Adobe over the years and can't stomach their monthly subscription. The last version of Creative Suite I bought won't run on my new MacBook , so I'll be using Pixelmator Pro from now on. Sure, there are some niggles, but this is a very promising 1.0 release. It already does pretty much everything I need it to do and at 60 dollars it's great value for money.

I tested the trial a bit with some Nikon D800 RAW files. Opening of these files was really slow. The editing tools for RAW files are very limited compared to Adobe Lightroom. It's also not possible to use gradient selections and a lot of other features without first converting the RAW file to the proprietary bitmap format of Pixelmator. Almost all tools I saw in the Pro version are already part of the regular Pixelmator version, including the same limitations. They are only presented in nicer one window view.

So I get the feeling this new app is extremely overhyped and not really a replacement for Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop. And that's really pity, because I don't like Adobe subscription model and how they mess up app installations on the Mac. I would like to believe Pixelmator Pro is a competent professional editor, but that's unfortunately totally not the case in my opinion.
