Varför ska de rota runt på min dator och snoka i den?? vad för information kommer de att hämta från min dator? törs man ens prova ett sånt här program?

Försökte ladda ner demot, men det går sjukt segt just nu (4 dagar+). Vänta tills stormen lagt sig.

Provkörde på min Mac mini 1.42 G4 512MB (som alltid är för lite):

Pixelmator var otroligt segt och badbolligt! Åkte väck direkt.
Synd.

Fast vilket program är inte seg när du bara har 512MB? Uppgradera minnet innan du dömer ut programmet. Jag har testat på en dator med 1GB och då går det snabbt, med 2GB och iofs Intel flyger det fram.

Kör den på min iMac G4 768mb RAM - startar inom 2 sek och fungerar klockrent och är snabb!
Köpte den direkt då den kom ut och måste säga att den är likvärdig med Photoshop CS3, därför valde jag att slänga ut photoshop för gott och börja använda Pixelmator.

Pixelmator körs mycket på grafikkortet också, så Mini och MacBook kan få det lite svårt.

Väldigt sant, glömde helt bort detta.

Hur bra är det i jämförelse med photoshop cs3?

Det är lite olika sorters program, jag tror inte en tidning eller reklambyrå skulle kunna byta ut Photoshop mot detta. Men många av oss andra kan nog det. Det är i klass med Photoshop Elements ungefär. Dessutom är det ju väldigt billigt, under 400 kr.

Kan Intel GMA950 överhuvudtaget köra Core Image? Eller körs det på CPUn på de maskinerna?

Ja, GMA950 har stöd för Core Image.

Jag har inte provat den skarpa versionen, men beta 2 fungerade fint på min iBook G4 som dessutom saknar stöd för Core Image. Jag var dock inte uppe i bilder på väldigt många MB de gånger jag provade så de kan jag inte uttala mig om.

Tyckte det gick segt på en macbook pro c2d med 3 gig ram oxå...

Testade bara med en högupplöst bild.. (80meg)

Jag tycker att programmet är väldans mycket snabbare än ps cs2 på min Macbook 1,83 GHz med 2 gig RAM. Startar på ett par sekunder.
Det har inte lika många finesser som PS men det är lite dumt att jämföra Pixelmator med ett program som PS som är väl etablerat och har funnits ute många år. Jag är iaf nöjd. Funderade ett tag på att skaffa Elements men tyckte att detta var ett ganska skönt program att utföra lite enklare bildbearbetning.

Någon som vet hur pass generösa de kommer att vara med uppgraderingar? Typ 1.1, 1.2 osv gratis och med mer än bara buggfixar?

Jag håller kvar vid Acorn som PS-alternativ, Pixelmator känns nästan för maccigt

Hämtar v.1.2 nu. Blir att testa imorgon

Edit: Testade lite snabbt, Polygonal lasso funkade finfint och UI'et ser mkt bättre ut med det nya suddiga bakom inställningar osv. Konstigt att de inte lagt in det på fönstret där man arbetar också bara.

Pixelmator 1.2.2 Ute nu!
Har fått lite ändringar ser jag direkt i UI'et

Citat:
For the most part, the changes in Pixelmator 1.2.2 involve the Gradient tool and bug fixes. The Gradient tool now works live, which means you see the result while dragging the mouse. Expanding the Gradient tool’s function in this way might appear to have been an easy task, but it was not - we had to convert all the gradient types from simple Cocoa to Core Image kernels for performance. Fortunately, the conversion was successful, and I believe Pixelmator now has the most fun Gradient tool to work with. Try it and let us know what you think.
