[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1551568, member: 284358"] Got an UPDATE: Reply of Pixelmator Team Ok, two things that come from this. Pixelmator isn't really using 16bit color. It appears that was a mis conception being that it could open 16bit files. The second is while this may discourage many of us, the fact is Photoshop Elements does not either if you start using layers. I realized this testing it out this morning. If I open a file, it remains 16 bit (TBOMK). Now when I go to duplicate the background to a layer, it forces me to convert the image to 8bit.. Which as being a photo editing tool from Abobe no less, I expected more. Now I know we kinda side railed this topic. My apologies. But I am hoping I can correct this with more input over the next day or so. I removed Photoshop CS6 from my computer. I figured this is the best way I can truly get a new workflow going. Now while photoshop is good, it has more tools then I really need. Its a large toolset with a large toolset price tag also. Now Pixelmator and Elements are smaller toolsets but still offer the tools I need. They also have a smaller price tag. In other words why buy a 1200 piece craftsman toolset when a 100 piece Stanley set has all you need. But thats what I am going to set out and try. Both Pm and Elements have a 30 day trail on them. At the end of this trail period I am going to purchase one or the other. Currely Pixelmator is a head in this race. While its only a editor, I don't need multiple file browsers. I already have Lightroom. So the one that comes with elements is not used. Also I am currently not liking the Elements UI. It seems of less quality and like they put in less effort on it. TTBOMK it used to look more like Photoshop, but now its almost gimmicky. Also Elements tries to be less of a program to its bigger brother Photoshop.
