Since Apple Photos is getting worse and worse, junking it and replacing it with the far superior Photomator would be the right move…but we all know that won’t happen.

I try to avoid anything furnished with AI, and I don't suppose this kind of behaviour was due to a bug that got fixed?
Pixelmator Pro uses CoreML for ages - what do you think the masking in your preferred 3.6.x version is based on? you are probably referring to the playground integration and writing tools in 3.7? There is indeed IMHO not much to gain from the »Play«ground in »IMHO«; I have no option how well writing tools work in PP. Any can chip 8n on that functionality?
I don't really know what's based on what in 3.6.18, which is the only one I tried, all I know is that in 3.7 release they boast about 'support for Apple Intelligence', but I find even the basic functions lacking, so not really bothered.
all the youtube tutorials from help menu are set to private - the less we know, the better.
Version 3.7.1 just released.

Apple Introduces New 'Creator Studio' Bundle of Apps for $129 Per Year

It will be part of a subscription model, but also one time purchase.
- One-time-purchase versions of Final Cut Pro ($299.99 U.S.), Logic Pro ($199.99 U.S.), Pixelmator Pro ($49.99 U.S.), Motion ($49.99 U.S.), Compressor ($49.99 U.S.), and MainStage ($29.99U.S.) are available on the Mac App Store.
Unless the AI sub only versions re so much better I see little reason to subscribe; but then again I have all teh sub apps already.
Apple Says 'Pixelmator' App on iOS Will No Longer Receive Updates
Alongside the news that Pixelmator Pro is coming to the iPad, Apple has confirmed that the more basic Pixelmator app for the iPhone and iPad will no longer be updated. From the Pixelmator Pro page on Apple's website: Pixelmator Classic for iOS, released in 2014 as a companion app to the...

In a better world - Apple would bring back from the dead Aperture and meld it with Pixelmator Pro so that there is a DAM and both raw and other file editing. Along with this hooks into various AI systems. They won't do it of course because Adobe will make things difficult as before.
I agree, there's littl eincentive to subscribe for those apps with hardly great additions to them:
Keynote, Pages, and Numbers: A new Content Hub provides access to high-quality photos and graphics, and there are new premium templates and themes.
Some Apple Apps Will No Longer Receive Every New Feature Without a Subscription
If you are not interested in subscribing to the new Apple Creator Studio bundle introduced today, you will officially start to miss out on some new features. Apple said some "exciting new intelligent features and premium content" in Pixelmator Pro, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, and Freeform will only...

Curious about the one-time purchases - will these be the same programs or a separate stand-alone version?
I am comparing to MS Office that is available as stand-alone but does not recieve any updates. Not that pixemlmator gets many updates anyway, but if the stand-alones are separate programs they can be on a separate cadence and get broken by a OS update, requiring you to do another stand-alone purchase (aka hidden subscription model)
Having had teh standalone for several years, they have not been broken by an OS upgrade and have been updated. How that changes will reman to be seen, but I suspect Apple will update them for a while at least. I suspect in the future more super bundles with AppleCare+, iCloud, etc. all in one bundle.
I wish Microsoft would buy up Pixlr E and replace Paint with it. It's my favourite editing software. Reasonably powerful, yet easier to use than Photoshop.
Is it subscription based? Is it available on macOS and Windows 11?
Edit: oh, I see it is web based software. I usually prefer solution that run on-device, rather than in the cloud. However, it could be a good solution for those on less powerful machines.
Yeah, it's web based. I have an app which it starts on Windows so you don't need to go through a browser. But what I meant was that they'd implement it in the system and not the web. Right now you can only save three times without a sub, so I mostly use it when I want to make a funny pic online.
