PIXELMATORMost people who do any kind of print or web design probably use (or have at least) the Adobe Creative Suite. This includes, of course, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and among others, the creme de la creme, Adobe Photoshop. But there are alternatives to this industrial staple, for those that either cannot afford the hefty price tag or prefer to use a more Mac-friendly piece of software should take a look at Pixelmator.

Pixelmator has all the tools that Photoshop has, save for one, that being the Pen Tool. But then, the Pen Tool is more of a strength of Illustrator anyways, being vector-based.

One of the best things about Pixelmator is the great community the software has. There are a ton of tutorials, many of them video, on the “Learn” section of Pixelmator’s site. So for those that want to at least try an alternative to Photoshop, Pixelmator is worth the time.
