More Custom Shapes

Inspired by your creations with the new shapes in Pixelmator 2.2 Blueberry, we had some fun as well and created a few more custom shapes for you to play with. You have probably already seen the new Shapes palette, and in case you missed this, you can add, save, and share those custom shapes with others.

Adding, saving, and sharing custom shapes is easy. Everything essentially works with drag and drop. To add a shape, drag the shape layer to the Shapes palette. To share shapes, drag them from the Shapes palette to your Desktop or even to your e-mail message window. Adding new shapes is just as simple–drag the shape file to Pixelmator.

Download and try the new shapes pack here. Hope you’ll enjoy them!

    Thanks for a GREAT application that keeps getting better.
    The ability to work with shapes and fonts like that, saves me for a few other apps. i have been using…my workflow just got more efficient 🙂

    I accidentally deleted a default shape (the iMac). What’s the best way to get this back?

    Great work guys!…

    Any chance of getting a “Rotate canvas” function in future release?

    Thank you.

    Great feature!

    Since you did a plus sign and a multiplication sign it would be great if you provided the rest of the basic keyboard shapes like an equals sign “=” and a dollar sign “$” etc…

    @ben : Can’t you make a $ sign with Text Shapes already ? Same for multiplication sign, but a lot of people use the x letter instead of the true × character. As odd as it seems, the existence of this sign out-of-the-box on the keyboard is uncommon knowledge.

    Other than this, great little add-on here 🙂

    As much as Pixelmator gets better and better, don’t get me wrong about this, I continue to say that it gets messier and messier though. On my 27″ iMac, I have way too many windows floating around. If you do this for the upcoming release, you’ll have me in your pool, ditching Photoshop completely :

    1. Layer Styles (we all know it’s coming in 2013 though, it’s just a matter of time at this point)
    2. Unified window interface (or an equivalent solution that will fix all the clutter)
    3. Possibility to change the color of the interface, because Black is and will always be hurting my eyes

    BTW, about the black interface, it is possible for anyone to create a little 3rd-party add-on to fix this. See this link, Coen took my suggestion and had time to do some great work on it : http://support.pixelmator.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7630&start=50

    I accidentally deleted the circle shape. How can I get it back?

    I am so confused in how you can add for example a circle on top of another shape and make that area of the shape transparent? This is used in the eye default shape, where the iris is making the middle part transparent. I have also found that if I double-click that shape, I can move the rest of the eye, but the iris stays put, this results in a weird look to the eye. So my question is, how do you add a shape and have it make another shape transparent in that particular shape?

    Opened the shapes palette and it has the basic shapes such as line, star, rectangle, polygon BUT it has NO CUSTOM SHAPE or Custom Shape pull out folder (such as the one in the tutorial) within the Shapes Palette. Tried dragging a custom shape to the Shapes Palette.. and….. nothing.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi there
    I’m trying to drag and drop shapes from my desktop to the palette but nothing.
    There is any specific format or file extension the software required?
    I tried .eps .png and .ai .
    I know photoshop works with .csh but I don’t know how I can save a “logo” in csh.
    Help please.
    And could you tell me how I can download the shapes the Pixelmator customers share?I cannot find any download button.

    Thank you very much

    thanks for this help for the shapes
    this app is good but not always better because sometimes it doesn’t`t work fine
    the advantage I have with this is that, I can make my banner for my youtube channel
