Pixelmator Photo Beta 2 out now

2019-02-01 14:57:04

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to test Pixelmator Photo and share your feedback with us. We’ve had some great suggestions for improvements and some really inspiring words of encouragement as well as some incredibly detailed and thoughtful feedback in general. That’s amazing and we appreciate you!

Today, we released a second beta version with a few new things (such as an improved ML Crop feature and initial keyboard shortcut support) and a whole range of improvements and fixes for many issues that you helped us track down. To celebrate this, we’ve also opened up 200 additional beta testing spots.

Pixelmator Photo is inching closer to a full release but we do have one more fairly big thing we want to add before we release the app into the wild. We won’t say what it is just yet to keep at least a small element of surprise… In the meantime, see if you can grab a spot on the beta and let us know what you make of Pixelmator Photo!

Good Job so far with the beta and thanks for the beta 2 release. As many already mentioned a clarity slider & noise reduction tool would would make this my go to quick editing app for now on the iPad (vs affinity photo) - even though layers and masks are missing I could at least more easily edit my 42mb raw files.

I just got the push notification for this email and the beta is already full!

We're working on both those things for Pixelmator Pro and Pixelmator Photo as well. That could well be the first major update after 1.0.

By the way, the 200 additional spots were filled up in just 7 minutes!

pirafrank · 2019-02-01 15:36:29

I’ve found all the spots to be filled, too. Same as beta 1. I’d wish to try and contribute to a beta.

@Andrius - is there any chance for another spots in the beta? I really waited towards the new beta slots and I even opened the mail right away after it arrived and there were spots then - it's just that I left my iPad at home today (which basically never happens, but today I had to leave it on the charger) and because of that I was unable to sign up for it

Jonthan Llamas · 2019-02-01 15:40:22

Damn!!! It’s full already! Ima just sit in the corner and cry! How is it full so quick!

Nice. Are you shooting for the Pixelmator Pro release for this year? (lol it's Feb 1)

We're hoping to add Denoise and Clarity to Pixelmator Pro on the Mac in the first half of the year, yeah. We'll then see about bringing it to Pixelmator Photo on the iPad.

Request sent on Email. Looking forward to get my hands on

Great news!

All I’d like Please is
- Ability to use Pixelmator Photo as an iOS photo edit extension.... pixelmator regular for iOS already does this
- Pixelmator photo for iPhone would be nice
- Pixelmator Pro for iPhone and iPad (with “files” first design, like Pixelmator Photo has - I love that!) OR at the very least — ability to open pro files inside current Pixelmator iOS... it really is workflow breaking I cannot start on Mac and finish up on iOS

Do you think any of the above may happen anytime soon please?

I adore your app and excited for your future updates!

A bug I found in Pixelmator photo though...
- 1) install FileExplorer app
-2) setup SFTP or something else inside FileExplorer
-3) create new file inside Pixelmator photo and save it to FileExplorer share via iOS files dialogue
-4) close the file to save it
-5) try to re-open it... you can’t

Could be a bug with FileExplorer maybe?

Hi Andrius,

Hoping it’s not too late to still join the beta! I’ve also sent an email to you. Thanks

2019-02-14 14:44:58

It isn't, I think I've now added everyone who has emailed!
