Pixelmator 2.2 is now out....

Yea this App is now defiantly worth the $14.99 now I believe. They have just bought out version 2.2 with 100 odd under the hood changes.
Hands on: Pixelmator launches smart, significant new upgrade | Macworld

Codenamed Blueberry ~ Pixelmator.com this now is really worth looking at. Check it out from the link above or the MAS.
Time to have fun tomorrow

Cheers

Thanks - had bought the previous version last month for my MBP (and put it on our new iMac at no additional price) - just updated both and looking forward to using it - reminds me of the GIMP - Dave

Gimp is way harder to use. The UI in Pixelmator is a lot more user friendly.

Definitely right! Pixelmator is easier. No hassle

Right on. Although GIMP is way more powerful, it's a real dog to get working right.

Just doing the update now

While I am a Pro Photoshop user (Pro as in its my bread and butter), Pixelmator is sleek, fast and a joy to use for those jobs that do not require all of PS's features.

I'll have to explore what's new in the latest version

Glad to know! YEH - the GIMP was a struggle for me, mainly because I did not use the program that often - looking forward to giving Pixelmator a try!

Take a look at Acorn 4 as well.

I use Pixelmator daily, but a bug (that we now know is limited to just certain Mac models with certain graphics setups) was driving me crazy and sadly wasn't fixed in 2.2. The devs are aware of the problem and working on a fix apparently, which is good news for me.

So far the update is exactly that -- an improvement all around. Nothing revolutionary, but I haven't played with all 100 features yet.

Looks like they the Pixelmator Team are finally getting it with 2.2 Blueberry getting half a million downloads in 1 week. I for one are happy to be using it over anything else.
