WHat do you think of Acorn?

Ryan,
nothing much

As in you think it’s rubbish, or as in “no comment”?
It’s interesting to see the difference in approach. Acorn has a very simplified interface, yet still seems powerful and they took a very low key approach to development and release…
How is Pixelmator coming along? When will the rest of us get to see it?

Well, I am waiting to see this software, really. I am just a “new” mac user (from july!), and I am very happy I “switched”, but I have to say that the only thing I am crying for the loss of Windows is the images editor “Paint Shop Pro”. I am a little bit sad that you knew only Mac, because this is a program you had absolutly to try: for me it is really powerful like photoshop but simplier, so much simplier! I used version 7 and 8 integrated with “animation shop” and I was happy with the use of the masks, the effects, the brushes…
Since I switched, I found not an image editor similar for quality to that: photoshop element (I use the 2) is a useful “toy” but is really far away from paintshoppro.
I have really hopes in your work: it is a shame that Mac -so powerful, beautiful and rich of solutions” in images editing field can count only on Photoshop.
So, please give us your sofware as soon as you can: we are going to thank you very much!

Dama? You are joking right… I didn’t just hear someone compare photoshop and/or pixelmator to paintshop pro? The worlds gone mad!

Oh my… I wanted not to shock you! XD
But really, you have to make a tour in mac forums: I am not the only one that switched from Windows to complain about the loss of Psp!
I want not to compare Ps to Psp, I am speaking about a software that does well its work and does not cost as much as Ps. I use also Ps elements and I have to say that the things that the little brother of Ps does are less that those made by Psp.
I am not comparing Psp with Pixelmator because I have not tried it yet. Really, I am waiting with hopes for this new image editor, but I would like it is not only “photoshop centered”…
I hope in a software better than Psp, or at least in a valid solution - for cost - to the lack of a “Psp like” software for mac!
Really, maybe I am not a “pro” user of image editors but I used for years Psp, and I can say that with it, for example, I can save a mask in a second and use it in a second moment to create a frame.
It is this kind of semplicity that I search for, united with more advanced futures (I am not against them!!! XD).
If Pixelmator is going to surpass all of this, I can only be the happier in the world!
Ah… sorry for my english!^^
