os x Pixelmator is $14.99 /

[Damian]

Pixelmator is $14.99 / ?11,99 / ?10.49 for a limited time at the Mac App Store. That?s half off its normal price.

This might be a good time to get it if its on your wish list.

Been waiting for this to come down in price, thanks!

At $15, EVERY Mac user should buy it, it?s a theft.

Especially because 2.1 is around the corner, and we can all expect it to have Layer Styles. Don?t know if they will ever fix the black interface though, it?s extremely heavy on the eyes and mind.

Does it have vector tools, comparable to the Pen tool in Photoshop? Last time I used it (which was a long time ago) it had nothing like that.

Edit: decided not be be so lazy and downloaded the Trial and, wow, this thing is great.

What's the catch? Are they releasing version 3 in the coming weeks? :whistle:

Meh nm, just bought it. You win PyX! Now I have to go back to the supermarket to buy new iTunes credit for OS X Mountain Lion? Grrr

[PyX]

You won?t be deceived :) Only things I?m desperately missing, I mentioned them up there. My prediction is within two years, this app will hurt Photoshop because it will be a complete replacement.

How come do you pay with iTunes Credits, don?t you have a credit card ?

Not that I know why .Neo does it, but a lot of people do it in the event that your account gets hacked, they don't have anything saved in the system that they can use to start auto-buying things with, ala the Xbox 360 hacked accounts.

I do, but only use it on vacation. Here in the Netherlands most people hardly use a credit card during daily life, especially not for small amounts at Starbucks or Albert Heijn (biggest supermarket chain). So not sure really, it's just not in my system to use it I guess. :laugh: Next to that they sell iTunes credit at pretty much every Albert Heijn in the city so if I want to buy something I just pick up a card while doing groceries.

I really couldn't pass that up, especially with all the graphic work I'm doing right now.. score!

I saw version 2 was a free update to existing users. Hopefully the same will apply to version 3.

Time to legalize my copy haha. ^__^

Great tool for quick sketching or modifications.

My serious work still gets done in Aperture and Photoshop. :)

I really dig this application though.

Been using PM since the beginning

Oh we have a very different culture relating credit cards then :p

We have great benefits of using them all the time here. For instance, with my new card since I?m no longer a student, I pay it $50 a year, but 1% of my purchases are converted into $ that I can use to buy suff. So far I?ve had mine for 3 months and I already have $60 + bonus $25. I also get one additional year of warranty on everything I buy with it (which leaves me wondering why my ice cream still expires after 2 months though :( ). We also pay for the number of withdrawals we make per month at the bank, but with a credit card you can pay everything at the end of the month with just one transaction, etc. etc. You also make sure that you don?t immobilize money and lose it in a virtual store (ex : iTunes or PlayStation Network), which can happen if you sell your Apple devices or PS3 for example. In your case, you have so many Apple devices, I?m not worried about you losing your money :D

Problem is, some people don?t see their money go away when they always use their credit cards. It can lead to a couple of surprises?

Definitely. I have friends living in the States who every time they're here try to pay ?10 worth of groceries or a cup of coffee with a credit card. They either get "no" for an answer or people look at them like they're insane. Most supermarkets don't even accept credit cards, just a regular PIN (ATM) card. Restaurants, hotels, chain stores etc. do accept both.

PS I only own three Apple devices: iMac, new iPad and iPod classic. Not including small peripherals. I gave my 2005 eMac away to my mom. The 2003 eMac died. ;)

I get what you mean, what stores say here is if your purchase is below $10, you need to pay cash and they won?t accept any card. But lately I?ve done $8 purchases for lunch all the time and a couple of other things in stores they never refused it a single time. It?s because it used to take a lot of time to use a credit card, we needed a signature here. But it?s no more the case with the RFID chip, and NFC payments take 3 times less time than paying cash, but when it doesn?t work it takes 3x more?

I also look poor to always use credit for things under $50, but in fact I do have the money in the bank, because my career has now begun ! Maybe when I?ll have a platinum card, this "poor" effect will disappear.

Businesses hate credit cards though, because it shaves off about 2-4% of their profits. But if you always use it to pay $5, $10 things, you end up getting a lot of points on it. At this rate, in less than a year I will be able to buy a Nespresso Coffee machine with my points, perfect fit in my future condominium :)

I was pretty bummed when I saw that v2 REMOVED the plethera of Automator actions that v1.6 had. Very upset at the developers for this as that is what I primarily used Pixelmator for. Apparently they were having issues with getting those automator actions working in OS X Lion.
