Pixelmator is one of the leading image editing applications for the Mac and is personally one of the first apps I install when setting up a new Mac. It offers a wide range of controls and edits at the fraction of the price of more expensive image editing tools.

Mobile painters can choose from realistic to fully stylized brushes of all sizes and shapes to subtly enhance images or to create masterpieces from scratch. Pixelmator also provides myriad ways to pick colors easily and with great precision. And it lets you enjoy real-time responsive painting, thanks to the state-of-the-art Paint Engine. Now you can paint absolutely seamlessly whenever your imagination strikes.

Pixelmator for iPhone is the best-in-class app for mobile graphic designers. It is one of the most powerful layer-based graphic design apps for iOS, that lets you combine words, shapes, and images to create stunning compositions right on your iPhone.
