There’s also a Tools menu at the top where you can always find everything else.Ĭhanging tools changes the main Tool Options panel, where you’ll find the sliders and other settings you need to perform color correction, size and brush style to control how the Brush tool works, font, size and spacing controls for the Text tool, and arrange options for organizing many layers at once. It’s up to you which tools you want accessible and where you’d like to keep your panels, so experiment. Other options, based around photography or painting, change the tools around and put the Layers pane on the left - and you can make your own. The user interface is flexible, so if you’d prefer it to work like Photoshop, you can choose a layout with a selection of familiar tools on the left, and other panels on the right. Put the panels wherever you prefer, and hide tools you don’t use

While Adobe’s big design apps remain focused on photos or design (not both), Pixelmator Pro is happy to also offer vector-based features traditionally covered by design programs like Adobe Illustrator. Pixelmator Pro is primarily a photo editor, but like Affinity Photo, it’s not just that.

Let’s take a look at the whole app, with a special focus on how you can use it to augment professional video and animation workflows. Since Adobe went subscription-only, this market has grown, and Pixelmator Pro is a solid option with new and unique advantages - especially if you’re in the Final Cut Pro and Motion world. Subscriptions are polarizing, and although Adobe makes some excellent apps, if you’d rather buy your software outright, you may well need some kind of Photoshop replacement.
