Quick Intro: Pixelmator is an OS X based image-editor. Its interface is beautiful and exclusively designed for OS X. Most graphics professionals use the industry standard Adobe Photoshop, however, Pixelmator offers a similar feature-set at an extremely reduced cost. Pixelmator offers many tools that a Photoshop user would recognize and it features layer-based image editing. For the novice or expert user, Pixelmator is a very good choice at only $59. If you were lucky enough to get in on the last MacHeist bundle, you got it even cheaper than that!
