Pixelmator Pro 2.4 was recently released.
You can read more here. This version adds tons of new stuff, including color adjustments and effects layers.
Pixelmator Pro is always my recommendation for people who need a Photoshop-like tool, but without getting a degree in Photoshop or buying a monthly Creative Cloud subscription.
Pixelmator seems like it gets easier to use every update. It’s wild how much power they pack into an interface that is inspired by Photoshop workflows, but immediately accessible anyone who has used a personal computer.
My favorite features of Pixelmator Pro in recent years include:
- One-click machine learning feature which can remove things from the background or foreground, and sharpen low-quality images
- Shortcuts support (which can automatically batch edit images on my computer, generate my podcast show art, and more)
- It’s easy to use interface
