Apple’s acquisition of the popular photo-editing app opens up new possibilities for photo editing on iPhone, iPad and Mac devices, according to TechRadar.
The team did not rule out the possibility that the programs could be updated
The Pixelmator team posted on their blogthat he plans to join Apple. They are said to have been inspired by Apple from the start and strive to create their products with a focus on design, usability and performance. The Lithuanian team was also happy that they were able to achieve so much while working in Lithuania, so they hope to “further expand their audience and impact on creative people around the world.”
It is informed that there will be no significant changes in the Pixelmator Pro, Pixelmator iOS and Photomator applications in the near future, but did not rule out the possibility of updates.
TechRadar wondered what Apple could do with Pixelmator apps, noting the parallel with Dark Sky, a small startup that Apple acquired in 2020. and integrated into its Weather app. Previously, Apple also developed a professional-grade image editing program, Aperture, for its computers, which ran from 2005 to 2015.
Now, the acquisition of Pixelmator can fill that gap and give Apple fans a new alternative for photo editing.
Pixelmator is a drawing and photo editing application. Due to the abundance of functions, it is usually compared to the popular Adobe program Photoshop, but the Lithuanian creation is much cheaper.
If the price of Photoshop is 486 euros per year, the Pixelmator program currently costs about 50 euros in the Apple Store.
Preferred by Pixelmator
TechRadar noted that on the iPhone, many photography fans prefer Pixelmator over Adobe’s apps.
TechRadar rated Pixelmator Pro as one of the best photo editing apps for Mac.
“Pixelmator Team” was founded by two brothers – Saulius and Aidas Dailidė – in 2007. This Lithuanian company specializes in creating innovative photo editing programs for Mac and iOS devices.
The Pixelmator Team’s apps have won many prestigious awards, including three Mac App of the Year, iPad App of the Year and two Apple Design Awards.
