Pixelmator definitely looks very polished. Maybe the people behind it have big ideas for it’s future. I would love to see something give Photoshop some competition.

Biggest problem with PixelMator is it is not really at the pro level yet, until it supports 16bit files or CMYK i do not think it is a real alternative…

How can a program that only supports Apple Raw be the best alternative to Photoshop? It makes absolutely no sense.

The GIMP is a great application on Linux, but I really don’t want it on my Mac. I want to run nice Mac-native Cocoa-apps on my Mac, so I’m not running ugly X11-apps like the GIMP on my Mac. On a Mac I use Pixelmator.
