I still run Photoshop CS3 and use Pixelmator for healing brush (works great). However I never got to learn Pixelmator, it's just not as intuitive as PS. Plus all the icons and labels are so small I can hardly see them. Lot's of squinting involved.
Got a tip for us?

Regular Pixelmator handles RAW; the organisational part of Lightroom is missing.

Earlier this year, the team behind the popular Pixelmator photo editing app for iOS and Mac announced plans to unveil a new pro-level Mac app, Pixelmator Pro.
At the time the app was announced in September, the Pixelmator team had not provided a release date, but today announced that the new software will be coming on November 29.
Pixelmator Pro features a reimagined editing workflow with simplified editing tools and intelligent image editing features powered by machine learning. It uses a single-window interface and has been built from the ground up for the Mac.
The software uses the new Core ML framework built into macOS High Sierra to power a range of features like automatic horizon detection, a faster and smarter quick selection tool, and an improved repair tool for effortlessly removing objects from photos.
Nondestructive color adjustment tools are available for editing the colors in photos, and there are tools for easily resizing and rearranging layers, plus there's an entirely new painting engine and dynamic paint blending technology powered by Metal 2.
When it launches on November 29, Pixelmator Pro will be priced at $59, a special introductory price. The Pixelmator team plans to raise the price eventually as new updates and features are added, with the intended price for the software set at $99. As with the current Pixelmator app, Pixelmator Pro will be a one-time purchase and updates will be provided to customers for free.

[doublepost=1511199612][/doublepost]One caveat with Pixemator Pro, it only works with High Sierra on an iMac. I checked with the developers.

Snap.
I would see that as a good thing. Not too much clutter, clean code => fast performance.
Same here - for $14.99.
I love Affinity, but at this price point, Pixelmator is worth buying to play with. Day 1 purchase here.
The tiled, solid black interface of pixelmator kills it for me. I want a unified window with an adjustable UI darkness slider like Affinity or Photoshop. Solid black just doesn't cut it, and neither to palettes floating all over the place with no consideration to where the image window is.

How sure are you about the new Pixemator Pro, it only works with High Sierra on an iMac?
Where can I read more about it?
Newbie in Apple Store, my question is if you buy an app in the Apple store usually in how many computers you can install the app?
For example if I buy Pixelmator can I install it in more than one MBPs?

Yes, you can. The app store allows for (if I recall correctly) as many Macs as you have a working Apple ID on... which Apple limits to 5. I currently run every app I have from the Mac App Store on 3 Macs.
Well, forced to eat my words. I can't buy Pixelmator Pro. The App Store says my computer is not compatible.
Mac Pro 2009 flashed to 5,1. 2x 4 core CPUs. Flashed AMD R9 280 GPU and 20 GB Ram running High Sierra. At first I thought it might be something weird with Metal 2, but all indicators show metal works fine on my system. So, I am not sure what it could be, and not buying another Mac to run this when I have alternatives that work. Maybe when the new Mac Pro shows up.

Thanks for this info. After the probs I'm still having with Sierra upgrade I'm reluctant to move to High Sierra.
Not worth it even for Pixelmator Pro, for me.
