Pixelmator<\/a> 1.0<\/a> looks like a good start. It feels a lot like older, less Windowsy, versions of Photoshop. The Core Data–based file format is a good idea. As with Acorn<\/a>, there is currently no way to preview the quality when exporting to JPEG or PNG. Jesper has some good criticisms<\/a>, but the sticking point for me is the transparent HUD-style<\/a> palettes and windows, all overloaded with black. The interface is distracting, except when it was in full-screen mode. Acorn’s interface is not distracting, and it’s refreshingly clean<\/a>. Also, I’m still wondering in what sense Pixelmator is “The World's First GPU-Powered Image Editor.” It’s certainly not the first to use Core Image.\n<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Photoshop Elements 4 isn’t a universal binary, and there’s no Mac version of 5. The Mac version of Photoshop Elements 6<\/a> is planned for 2008<\/a> and looks more<\/a> like Lightroom<\/a> than Photoshop. I don’t think I have any use for such a product.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
