The part with the Adobe ID?

I entered my Adobe ID and got right in. I assume you have one, if not you can get one free on Adobe's site.

Do you have a screenshot of where you are stuck?
 
I've been using it for a while. I think it's pretty neat. Not sure if it's faster or anything.

Pixelmator is a sweet app. A great 'in-between' choice for those that need more options than Photoshop Elements but not nearly as many as the full version of Photoshop.

However, no professional is going to use Pixelmator in a studio environment. Clients, agencies, studios, etc all use Photoshop, its the gold standard.

Plus the fact that even if Pixelmator can do layers, it just can't open any PS file...
So right there, unless everybody start using Pixelmator someday, it's a big no-no...

I clearly said in studio, this is my THIRD time now having to say that agencies, studios and clients DO NOT use Pixelmator. One because anything saved in Photoshop wont be supported in Pixelmator, two, even if it is there are issues and three because Pixelmator doesnt exist for Windows which typically clients use to send files to the studios to work on, the account execs who deal with agencies. You guys know there is another *very* popular OS out there, right? This isnt a 'Mac Only World'

For home/personal use, pixelmator should be good enough for the intermediate user even with its limitations compared to photoshop, which holds true as youve stated you use it for freelance.

I should note, if you use Photoshop at work, the EULA allows you to have your own copy installed on your home computer, mirroring the install on your work computer. Both cant be used at the same time, but that doesnt matter since you cant be at home and at work at the same time anyway, lol. Ask your employer fort the install discs and S/N and get the Creative Suite installed on your home computer.

I think someone works for Adobe...
 
I haven't read the entire thread yet but so far I haven't seen anyone mention whether or not Adobe implemented full screen mode and other Lion features in CS6.

You would think with this being a Mac site the article would have pointed this out.

Full screen mode support is a must at the very least. Is it in there?
 
Like the colour interface, and I am happy there is a constant background now. always annoyed me about old mac software the windows all floated on the desktop in "normal mode" confusing as hell with lots of apps open.

More importantly They have completely ignored the new Lion Versioning system ( massive miss ) and duplicate ( less important )... I know that it's the same as Save as... and took a little while ( like 1 hour ) to get used to but now it makes perfect sense.

I just hope that with CS6 they are bringing all the Suite's interfaces inline - So annoying that standard commands have different keystrokes in diff apps. And palettes that do the same thing are completely different in each app - i.e Align.

I do think they should have an option for external smart objects - having to sending 500mb files after a simple change is very annoying - when it could have been a 20mb file max.

Looking forward to After effects more -
I am hoping for better nodal compositing. if only so you can link one effect to many layers.
Layer folders - flash's have that since cs1.

oh and All their HTML 5 tools - death to flash.

Nope -

No fullscreen - Versions - Duplication ( ok this is just save as... but )

Versions is the real important one.

I've been waiting for that new DRM engine! That stuff never inconveniences paying customers while being no barrier to hackers and pirates.

Exactly. Spent 30 minutes last night on the phone with Microsoft because my Windows 7 wouldn't "activate". Such an annoyance for someone who actually bought a legal version (albeit with a student discount). Consumers shouldn't have to beg software companies to use software they legally purchased.

I have that SAME issue!!!! It always deactivates too and says "This is not a genuine copy" and Microsoft has even said "well you should go purchase a real copy" even after giving them all of my licensing info. I bought it off of THEIR website!
 
Why pay absurd amounts of a terrible product like Photoshop when you can get the vastly superior Pixelmator for under $100?

Seriously, stop using Adobe people.

Is he angry at the posts for Pixelmator, or the thousands he has to spend every 18 months?

iWorks, especialy on the iPad, has proven that a company can survive without Microsoft Office. (Same goes with IBM = Lotus). Using these other "less professional" products saves company's a ton of cash, cash that is needed in so many other areas.

We are now discovering ways to bypass the Adobe sucking cash hole.

Hmmm... new hardware or new Adobe bloat?

If you have ever used Pixalmator you'd know that all your projects can be exported to PSD and TIFF. While my office uses Photoshop I use Pixelmator at home for all of my freelance work. I guess that makes me suicidal ;)

Still trying to find a good replacement for Illustrator though.

Not suicidal, for sure. But have you ever tried exporting a Pixelmator file in PS, then having somebody else work on it in PS and open it back in Pixelmator? No, right, you can't open a PSD in Pixelmator! ;)
Even if you could, the PS specifics would be ruined.

Don't get me wrong 'tho, I love Pixelmator and wish the whole industry would switch but until then... :)

No Full Screen Mode? What the heck is Adobe thinking??? I've had it up to HERE with Adobe and the asinine way they develop their software without even taking into consideration the operating system it is running on.

As I've mentioned before I've yet to open a PSD file in Pixelmator that hasn't opened just fine. Nor have I, or any clients, experienced any troubles with a PSD file that I've exported from Pixelmator. Not saying it will never happen, it's just that I have yet to experience it. It really depends on your workflow if it will work for you though. For mine there's been no issues............yet :D
