And Pixelmator 2.2 is no exception – it is, quite frankly, a joy to use. Pixelmater 2.2 is marketed as a powerful photo-editing tool for mobile apps, which it absolutely succeeds in (it includes level and curves adjustments, colour corrections, blurs, cloning, filters and suchlike). But Pixelmator is also a fantastic painting app.
The smart and powerful Move Tool lets you easily move, rotate, and distort any element, selection, text, shape, or an entire layer. Each time you click an object, the Move Tool knows whether it’s text, a shape, or an image layer, and gives you all the options that you need. And when you move any of the layers, the smart Alignment Guides appear so you can align and distribute objects just perfectly.

Pixelmator is a graphic editor developed for macOS[3][4] by Lithuanian brothers Saulius and Aidas Dailide, and built upon a combination of open-source and macOS technologies. Pixelmator features selection, painting, retouching, navigation, and color correction tools; as well as layers-based image editing, GPU-powered image processing, color management, automation, and a transparent head-up display user interface for work with images. Pixelmator uses Core Image and OpenGL technologies that use the Mac's video card for image processing.[5]
Pixelmator was the first commercial image editor to fully support the WebP image format on Mac.[6][7]
