Great catch, wonderful program. Since I started using Pixelmator I find Photoshop far to slow and clunky for everyday tasks.

TonyLock: Just one of the many perks to using Mac OS X, they have written a program which is top of the line and using the unique features to Mac OS so there is no need nor incentive for them to port it to another platform.

Wow, they took a god damn while to develop the initial app, but now they're really quick at adding those missing features.

I really like their interface, and the speed of this application compared to Photoshop, but there were a couple of missing features that made me keep a distance from this application.

It seems to me that they can open up an entire new market if it would work on PC's. There are more PC's than Mac's around. More users =more profit $. From what I have seen it beats the heck out of ANY Windows app.

As was posted before...

Pixelmator harnesses the full power of Mac OS X. It takes advantage not only of Core Image, Open GL or Automator, it also supports, ColorSync, Spotlight and many other technologies. Pixelmator was built exclusively for Mac OS X, and it shows.

Pixelmator was designed and built for Mac OS using exclusive technologies and is not an application that would be easy, or worth wild, to port to Windows as it would reduce the ability to maintain the original platform and it's status as the premier design program for Mac OS.

I normally would recommend that users interested in Piexelmator or any other OS X Application should consider upgrading their technology experience to a Mac! :)

Why don't they make a PC version of this?

A PC version? So it'll run on Windows, Linux, Unix, etc? They all run on PCs... Yes, it'd be nice if there was a version of it that worked on PCs as a whole... Just like everything else. This mentality that Windows = PC really annoys me :(

Might try this if it'll work on my macbook :p

Yay! so my 1.83GHz C2D model will work? Just need stick some more ram in it... On a side note, does Aperture work at all on a macbook?

It will work great on your MacBook, it isn't far off my 2.16 Core 2 that I got a long time ago. ;)

As for Aperture, no, it is not Officially supported due to integrated graphics, however if you do a little it of searching on the internet you never know what you might find instructions for............

Hm, Ok so I just actuallly looked at the Aperture specs and it says:

Minimum System Requirements

One of the following Mac computers:

MacBook

One of the following graphics cards:

Intel GMA 950 or GMA X3100

Does that mean it *will* work, but I'm guessing not very well?

Let me put it this way, it will install but the way Ap. is configured, you will not get optimal performance from the stock configuration and some AppleCare reps flat will not support it because of display driver incompatibilities with older versions. That is what I mean by Officially supported. :)

However there are PList changes you can find online to change or disable certain features which present a very usable experience on any Intel Core Mac.

Why not, it's a perfectly valid thing to be annoyed about. People refer to "Mac vs. PC," even though Macs ARE personal computers... some of them are also workstations and servers, as are IBM clones... I have a Mac and an IBM clone which is running Windows XP and slackware 12... So my PCs are running 3operating systems, but software for "PC-only" won't run on my slackware installation, or OSX...

Ohh, you mean "supported" not "it wont work full stop." Thanks for clarifying... Looks like I might upgrade my mac again then :p

Ya, typically Apple considers it to be a "Pro" application and thus is more oriented towards the MacBook Pro / Mac Pro specifications. :)

Pixelmator now seems to blur the background behind the HUD palettes. I wonder why Apple never did that with actual HUDs.

Wow, good catch on that one, didn't even notice it myself...but I like it?

Are we sure that isn't on any HUD windows on any Apple products? Now I'm going to have to go look through each program. :p

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
