Hey everyone! We’re getting closer to another great major update to Pixelmator Pro and we wanted to share an early look at one of the new features we’ll be adding.



In the video, you’ll actually notice two new features – the ability to quickly see and set your primary and secondary colors and a way to change the color of any object in your document using the magic of drag and drop. It’s so fun to use!

This is just one of the great new features coming in Pixelmator Pro 2.1 and there should be another three or four more. Development is going well, although we still have a little way to go.

Stay tuned for more news and, in the meantime, you can sign up for our newsletter to be notified about big Pixelmator Pro announcements.

The primary and secondary colors? Or dragging and dropping colors? Or both? :smiley:

Very nice! And yes, Pixelmator Pro is essential indeed. I don’t think enough is made of the fact that Pixelmator - in all of its incarnations - has democratised and is democratising access to pro-level image editing on the Mac. No subscription fees and AMAZINGLY competitive - actually, competition-concluding - pricing is awesome and I continue to be here for it. :)

Agree. I use Pixelmator Pro most days and consider it the best software investment i have ever made.
Please send a big thanks to the whole team in eager anticipation of another great update.

Thank you for the update Andrius! I still hope to one day see a basic animation timeline in Pixelmator Pro so I can kick the Photoshop subscription!

Will do! (Done already, actually)

Which one? :grimacing: I'm thinking not this time, but almost everything included has been requested at least once or twice. :smiley:

Thanks should go to the devs and designers, I'm just the pretty face (hah, who am I kidding) who gets to break the news. :sweat_smile:

Pixelmator Pro for the win! I use it faithfully. In fact, I only have that ‘other’ photo editor on my Mac because I use Lightroom. Pixelmator is one of the best examples of high quality software. Fantastic product!

This was already repeated a billion times: "If app X adds feature Y, I'll ditch adobe". You probably will not. You will find another minor feature you "cannot live without" and say the same sentence again, in another forum.

We're still working on the update, so it's difficult to say exactly when it will be available. Development is getting closer to being finished, but there's still testing to be done and the inevitable refinements, too.
