Pixelmator 2.2 Blueberry is REALLY that good. It is an extremely powerful tool for editing photos (or any image files) that rivals Photoshop. Currently available for only $14.99 on the Mac App Store, this app regularly retails for $89.99 and even then is a worthy competitor to Photoshop.
The company offers a large number of tutorials on the Pixelmator website, with new videos covering using shapes, light effects and removing backgrounds from images. All of this, in an app priced less than Snapheal. This is not to say that Photoshop can’t do way more than Blueberry. It can, and it is still the professional photo editor of choice for magazines and professional photogs and artists. That being said, if you want an easy-to-use tool that packs much of the punch of Adobe’s products, this is the app for you.
If you have always wanted to dabble in photo editing, you can give Pixelmator a test run with the 30-day free trial available here. However, don’t wait too long to buy since the $14.99 offer is expected to expire soon. As many of you know, Adobe has moved their licensing exclusively to subscription (monthly or annual fee-based) plans. You can no longer buy their software and stay at a particular version for a single, fixed cost. In fact, even if you wanted to stay at an older version, you have to continue making your monthly payments to use the software. With Pixelmator 2.2 Blueberry, you buy once and (as with all Mac App Store apps) receive upgrades when they are available provided your operating system version is current (or meets the required level for the upgrades).
Best of all, if you share your App Store account among multiple machines like I do, you’ll have Pixelmator available on all of them, making this $14.99 deal even sweeter.
