Pixelmator, one of the best Photoshop alternatives for the Mac, has been updated to 1.3.1, and adds two new tools to its feature lineup. Version 1.3 “Tempo” has been just released, but team hasn’t taken a breather and has been constantly improving and squashing bugs.
The Refine Selection tool allows you to perform dynamic adjustments to your selections after you have drawn them. Using sliders you can adjust the feathering, smoothness and the size of the selection. Changes are reflected live, and the red mask gives you an accurate rendering of what the output will look like. Very intuitive and very useful.
Color Management sheet allows you to fine tune color profiles for your images. You can use the presets for the web or print, or use any one of the color profiles you have set in your system preferences. This is certainly a step towards professionalism.
Apart from this we’ve been told that this update squashes a few bugs that were causing issues in the 1.3 release. A recommended update to all pixelmator users and another reason to check out this awesome image editor. Check out our Pixelmator 1.3 review to see what Pixelmator is all about.
