GNU Enhanced Image Editor For Apple Mac

We love those tools which provide us innumerable options to work on and which add a little bit of fun with the mundane chores that are done related to it. We love to spend some time playing games and we get mesmerized by the beauty of the games and their visual environment. Ugh, it’s always hard for me to play this Crysis game which has got thousands of key combinations which makes playing, in itself a hard-core task. Ok ok , not a thousand, but at least a hundred key-combinations to remember when you are playing using a keyboard and mouse unlike a joystick. Hmmm,can we play this game with JoyStick? I donno.

Phew, such an exhilarating experience when you blast the evil daddies t othe sky. And, we are aware of the high-end graphics cards that we use in our systems to enhance the visual grnadeur but never use it for any other processor heavy work for which it is so eligible. So, why is that when tools are being developed to make use of that idle, resting, sleeping graphics card? Now, get to know a tool which absolutely does that. Meet Pixelmator.

Pixelmator is everything an image specialist would love to work on, on a Mac. Absolutely fine tuned features which enhance the working experience by providing the end user with multitude of features like variety of brushes, breath-taking filters which make those amazing changes, capability to work in filters, efficient color correction tools and with a multitude of plugin support, its an enthralling experience to watch an expert’s hand working on it.

A much loved feature is the support of tablet PC which makes the artist to create amazing pictures and use the tablet’s pressure sensitivity to blur or sharpen the image or erase the image where required. Also hail the famous Automator which enhances the work experience by doing all those routine and boring activities for which you have created actions and save the final image into any of the or all of the 100 different formats.

Here is the verdict over the first image editor which usees GPU.

Pixelmator is based on Core Image technology that uses your Mac’s video card for image processing. Core Image utilizes the graphics card for image processing operations, freeing the CPU for other tasks. And if you have a high-performance card with increased video memory (VRAM), you’ll find real-time responsiveness across a wide variety of Pixelmator operations. Pixelmator is blistering-fast on the latest PowerPC and all Intel-based Mac’s.

This is amazing. Mac surely rocks. The application can be downloaded from here to try and if you wish to make the most of its features, it costs $59 which is way cheaper than amny of the image editors doing the rounds.
