The new Effects Browser takes the guesswork out of selecting effects by collecting, organizing and providing an animated preview of all of Pixelmator’s Color Adjustments, Blur, Distortion, Tile and dozens of other effects, together in one helpful palette. “Pixelmator continues to be a big hit among both professional and amateur image editors, and we’re thrilled to deliver even more features at a very affordable price,” said Saulius Dailide of the Pixelmator Team. “With support for Mountain Lion, iCloud and the new Retina display, Pixelmator 2.1 is ideal for Mac users looking to tap into their creativity with a full-featured, easy-to-use image editing app.” Designed to take full advantage of OS X Mountain Lion and the new MacBook Pro with Retina display, Pixelmator 2.1 adds support for iCloud, a new Effects Browser with new Vintage and Miniaturize effects, smart Alignment Guides and several other enhancements. The Pixelmator Team today released a major update of Pixelmator, its inspiring, easy-to-use and feature-packed image editing software for the Mac. Major Update Adds iCloud Support, Effects Browser, Vintage and Miniaturize Effects and Smart Alignment Guides There's a lot still to see, but Mountain Lion is already off to a very strong start.AugPixelmator Adds Support for OS X Mountain Lion Greater consistency between the two also lowers the learning bar for new users, with the reassurance – for them, and for the more tech-minded family members who inevitably become the unofficial helpdesk – of things like Gatekeeper. ![]() ![]() What we've seen already with Mountain Lion – and will no doubt see more of as the developer preview is explored – is that there's a lot to be gained from integrating gestures and cross-platform interoperability if you're both a Mac and an iOS user. Opinions remain divided as to whether OS X evolving to incorporate iOS-style features is a good thing or not. "With Mountain Lion, Mac users can now get the same functionalities they are used to on iOS which starts to merge functionalities of both platforms" Tim Bajarin, Principle Analyst, Creative Strategies Inc. There'll be greater integration between your iPhone, your iPad, your iPod touch and your Mac, and more chance of you having access to the documents, music, videos and other content you want while you're at home, at work or on the move. If all that sounds confusing, then just be reassured by the likely end results: more efficient Mac apps that look better, run better, use less power and allow your MacBook battery to last longer. You can override this on a case-by-case basis, or set Gatekeeper to allow any applications to be installed as per previous versions of OS X via the Security section of System Preferences, but many users are likely to leave the default in place. By default Mountain Lion will be set to only allow installations from either the Mac App Store or from downloads that has been signed with Developer ID. Users can choose from three Gatekeeper security settings. The cost of getting a Developer ID is included in the existing subscription fees for the Mac Developer Program, and Apple says signing an application is the work of a few clicks thanks to its integrated Xcode signature tool. When users download an app with a Developer ID, Gatekeeper can check to ensure that the software hasn't been flagged as malware, that the developer themselves haven't been distributing malware, and that the app itself hasn't been tampered with. Members of the Mac Developer Program can now get a Developer ID, a unique identifying code for each developer. ![]()
