Abobe Photoshop is the industry standard image editing software, but today I’ve made the switch to Pixelmator.
Photoshop isn’t that fast on a Mac nor is it very “Mac-like”. And this is where I find Pixelmator really good. It’s simple, insanely fast to startup and takes about 2 seconds to learn if you know Photoshop. Everything is pretty much in the same place as Photoshop which I imagine is why Gimpshop has become so successful. And I really love the black interface they’ve slapped onto it.
For US$59 ($NZ78.74) it’s a steal in comparison to Photoshop so consider making the switch if you’re on a Mac!
