Migrating From Photoshop to Pixelmator
T-GAAP’s E. Werner Reschke says he’s been a Photoshop user since 1992, starting with Photoshop 2 (that would be “2” not “CS2”), and is pretty adept at using Photoshop. Reschke notes that over the years there’ve been would-be Photoshop challengers, like CorelDraw and Painter, but nothing ever seemed to hold a candle to Photoshop until he encountered a game changer.
An acquaintance told him about Pixelmator, how good it was and how he could do most things that he used to do with Photoshop (but couldn’t afford to purchase a new copy), noting that for $59, a mere fraction of the cost of Photoshop CS it was almost a no-brainer to give Pixelmator a try.
After checking it out for a while Reschke reckons that Pixelmator is a very good substitute for Photoshop, can do most things Photoshop can do, and often does them a lot better. He cites the four main reasons he’s switched To Pixelmator as being:
• Speed
• Similar Workflow
• Price (with far less digital rights foo-fa-ra to contend with)
• Built for the Mac
