Did a search to see if this was posted before but found nothing.

Anyways, this looks promising.

So far it's vaporware though.

looks interesting... wonder how much impact it will have on photoshop though?

To me, having choice in the marketplace is invaluable.

It's GPU accelerated, supports CoreImage, and seems to have iLife type access to iPhoto. But really, it's the cool dark grey GUI that makes all the difference

I think it sounds pretty cool, and it might be a great tool for people that aren't too excited about PS's price point. From their tag line, I can only imagine it will not be expensive.

 

and...if you can make a straight alpha out of it in less than 10 steps, it might just be better than PS Extended.

I would seriously consider using this product over PS if they switch to a non "floating window" interface. Less time moving around palettes, more time working.

Yeah I guess the slate gray menus doesn't make a whole lot of sense if the colorful background shows thru.

looks like its way cheap! Pixelmator 1.0 will be available in late July for $59 (US).
