Note to Pixelmator folks: Turn good-looking pictures into spectacular. Perhaps that should say: Turn good-looking pictures into spectacular images. Or something.

Think different!

Anyone know how PSD read support has come along?

Nice!. I was glad when I found Pixelmator as an easy to use image tool on OSX after working with Paint.Net on Windows.

It was pretty much flawless as of 2.2.1, with the obvious exception of layer styles.

This is exactly what I wanted to know. Last time I tried it it was nice, but without the ability to read PSDs correctly (and not misinterpret things to be all over the place) it's quite useless to me.

Any idea of how their layer styles are now?

I haven't downloaded v3 yet, but I love using Pixelmator for quick edits and tweaks to images. It loads much faster on my MacBook Air than Photoshop, and I've found the learning curve to be much lower too. All while having 80% of the features from Photoshop; which for my basic needs is 98% of everything I'll do.

Version 3 looks like a huge win for customers, really excited to be grabbing the update for free from the App Store. Although honestly, I'd pay for it again at this point.

This sentence is grammatically incorrect, too:

"With the new Layer Styles, a complete set of Liquify Tools, and support for the new OS X Mavericks features — creating advanced and polished compositions — is now so much simpler, faster, and more enjoyable."

I suggest something like:

"Creating advanced and polished compositions is now simpler, faster, and more enjoyable with new Layer Styles, a complete set of Liquify Tools, and support for the new OS X Mavericks features."
