I now have nightmares about stoplight babies and excessively styled glyphs. </div><div><br></div><div>I wanted to throw Pixelmator out as an alternative for entry level image editing. Nearly all of the stuff that Holly talked about can be done in this application too. It does not do some things (like layer effects) but all of the nondestructive editing tricks work in the same way. Also, Pixelmator adds a few other features that PSElements does not - especially in the upcoming 1.3 release which is due out before year-end. I think the two biggest draws for the DMMUG crowd would be that 1) it's a little cheaper at $60 and 2) the GUI is very Apple-centric instead of being Adobe-centric (i.e. I think the interface is prettier).</div><div><br></div><div>So, without further ado, here are some links that have video of someone showing off the app kinda like Holly did for PSElements:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="javascript:launchMovie('http://www.screencastsonline.com/sco/Shows/php/showscomovie.php?N=SCO0117-pixelmator-free-640x360-h264-SCO&T=SCO0117-pixelmator&K1=graphics&K2=layers&K3=photoshop&K4=coreimage&K5=osx')"></a><a href="javascript:launchMovie('http://www.screencastsonline.com/sco/Shows/php/showscomovie.php?N=SCO0117-pixelmator-free-640x360-h264-SCO&T=SCO0117-pixelmator&K1=graphics&K2=layers&K3=photoshop&K4=coreimage&K5=osx')"></a><a href="javascript:launchMovie('http://www.screencastsonline.com/sco/Shows/php/showscomovie.php?N=SCO0117-pixelmator-free-640x360-h264-SCO&T=SCO0117-pixelmator&K1=graphics&K2=layers&K3=photoshop&K4=coreimage&K5=osx')"></a><a href="javascript:launchMovie('http://www.screencastsonline.com/sco/Shows/php/showscomovie.php?N=SCO0117-pixelmator-free-640x360-h264-SCO&T=SCO0117-pixelmator&K1=graphics&K2=layers&K3=photoshop&K4=coreimage&K5=osx')"></a><a href="http://www.screencastsonline.com/sco/files/SCO0117-pixelmator.html">http://www.screencastsonline.com/sco/files/SCO0117-pixelmator.html</a></div><div><a href="http://www.screencastsonline.com/index_files/SCO0168-pixelmator.php">http://www.screencastsonline.com/index_files/SCO0168-pixelmator.php</a></div><div><br></div><div>- ßailey</div><div><br></div><div>PS My favorite mac tip might be useful for someone who reads this and doesn't know what "glyph" or "GUI" means. Move the mouse over some word and do Command-Control-D. It will pop up the definition for you. This works in Safari, Mail, iChat, etc. (any Cocoa app).</div></body></html>
