Loved the program but not sure what Apple vision is and how much effort is there going to be in improving the program. What is Apple vision ??? Why did they take it over?? I’m surprised that there is no update of this program and other Apple software since OS 26. Apple also seems to focus on the operating system then the Apps they own in improving them and taking advantage of the new OS. This is so scary!!! It’s like the Apple Watch. You would think Apple would take the lead in making new faces for the watch. But instead they leave it to others in which you have to pay for 3rd party apps. When has there really been a major update to Apple Office software or any software?? This is what is so scary about them taking over this program. We are going to lose out on keeping up with creativity ????????????? UPDATE it’s 12/24/25 and still haven’t seen any major update which again is scary on what the plan may be or that there is no plan on improving. The software is great!!! So don’t get me wrong! If you look at iMovie or Office software they make maintenance updates but no major effort in really making it great. I know don’t fix if not broken. But you just have to wonder?

No Wonder!

If you are looking for a “Photoshop Lite” experience with no stress, this is your app!

Powerful and easy to use, Pixelmator has been my goto editor for touching up photos.

It’s great, but the upscaling is not. It would be nice if it did something like Topaz Labs Bloom AI upscale- where it enhances the quality of the lower res image. :) It doesn’t seem like there have been any recent updates and it would be nice to see it incorporating AI features- like image generation! :)

Hello! I love using your app, everything is fine. But I have a problem when I make shapes like a circle, square, or something else and want to crop a specific area, the entire object is deleted, not the selected area. I would be very grateful for your help.

It took a bit to get used to but one of the best purchases I have made.

As a longtime designer and former Adobe Photoshop user, I left when they moved to a subscription model. I transitioned to Affinity Photo on my 27" iMac, but over time, I encountered frequent crashes, confusing shortcuts, and a layer system that felt confusingly and unneccesarily complex. Out of necessity, I took a chance on Pixelmator—and I’m so glad I did. The interface is intuitive, the layer management is seamless, and the artistic tools and typography options are thoughtfully designed. Everything feels fast, stable, and user-friendly. My only regret is not switching sooner. Highly recommended for photo designers seeking a powerful, one-time-purchase alternative to subscriptions.

What happened to the release notes? What happened to the release notes? "This update contains bug fixes and improvements." tells us NOTHING! Come on Apple, we know you bought these guys, but you don't have to speed-run the process of making things worse. And now AI built into an app that really deserves better.

App is amazing! Release notes though are much less detailed in recent updates, and it is hard to know what is changed. Why not describe it?
