Apple recently announced its best apps of the year, and the winner for best iPad app is Pixelmator, a powerful new image editor, created by two Lithuanian entrepreneurs, brothers Saulius and Aidas Dailides.
“We worked really hard on Pixelmator for almost two years: staying late at night and working weekends researching, adding, perfecting, polishing, then repeating the same process again and again to build or improve the features and core foundation of the app to impossibility – all that for you to later notice or simply feel the awesomeness of Pixelmator for iPad”, Saulius and Aidas posted on Pixelmator blog shortly after the announcement.
Pixelmator got a lot of buzz after its team was invited to demo the app onstage at Apple’s big iPad event in October, and after watching a photo get touched up and transformed in real-time, it’s easy to see why.
Pixelmator is both incredibly powerful and user friendly, a rare combination that will appeal to veteran photo editors, digital artists, and even the casual person who takes some pictures on their iPhone and wants to make them look special.
While Pixelmator also exists for Mac, the app feels truly at home on the iPad’s interface. The touch controls feel intuitive rather than tacked on, which is nice for those looking to sink some serious time into image editing.
If you’re looking to work with photos, Pixelmator offers a full suite of photo editing tools that will let you choose a template, adjust colors, add effects, retouch, resize and crop, and insert text and shapes.
Pixelmator is exactly what you want from an iPad image editor. It’s easy to use for the novice, contains enough tools to keep the expert interested, and is both flexible and powerful enough to make a compelling case as a primary editing application for photographers in the field.
And there are even more good news to come for Pixelmator fans.
“This inspires us to create even more exciting things – just wait till you see our major update of Pixelmator for iPad 1.1 or the new version of Pixelmator for Mac. Those are jaw-dropping…”, said brothers.
