Anyone editing images must be able to select the right shapes, sections or objects in images. With Pixelmator’s powerful, pixel-accurate collection of selection tools, you can quickly and easily select any part of your images. That means you can edit and apply special effects to portions of your pictures, remove unwanted objects, and even cut out objects from one image to place in another. The full-featured selection tools in Pixelmator are as powerful as they are easy to use.
The real greatness of painting tools in Pixelmator is that they come built with the ability to use different brush sizes, shapes, hardness, and even blending modes as you paint. You can paint with Pixelmator as you would traditionally, play with beautiful gradients, and even fill colors with other ones. What’s more, Pixelmator’s painting tools can be used not only for any style of painting, but also to improve your selections using the Quick Mask mode, and even for retouching.
The new drawing tools in Pixelmator allow users to add, create, combine and edit vector shapes easily. In addition to Pen and Freeform Pen tools, Pixelmator also includes pre-drawn shape tools for quickly adding lines, circles or rectangles into your compositions. Fill and stroke settings for shapes you’ve created, as well as shadows, can be easily adjusted. These drawing tools are extremely useful for creating buttons, icons, Web page elements, illustrations, or any other items for use in image compositions.
It’s a snap to perfect your aging or buggy photos with Pixelmator. With Pixelmator’s advanced retouching tools, you can easily blur hard edges or sharpen fuzzy areas of your image; naturally darken or lighten areas of your image; paint with a sample of an image to remove wrinkles from faces or scratches in your photos; paint using any brush tip to add color or take away color; quickly get rid of the red eye effect or any other unwanted elements in images automatically, as if they never existed, with just one click. What’s more, you can use any of the adjustment, painting tools, filters, or any combination of these to polish or refine your images.
Pixelmator is a real filter-machine. It has over 150 breathtaking filters and special effects for all your needs.
