• Pixelmator Pro is now fully compatible with and works great on macOS 12 Monterey.
• Thanks to support for the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, Pixelmator Pro harnesses the full power of the fastest MacBook Pro devices ever.
• In the new Shortcuts app, you’ll find 28 powerful Pixelmator Pro actions, including ones featuring our machine learning-powered tools, actions for replacing text and images in documents, overlaying images, optimizing images for the web, and much more.
• To show you what Shortcuts can do, we've also included 6 very cool sample shortcuts – find those in our What's New window.
• The new Split Comparison view lets you easily see an interactive split-screen view of any layer with and without edits applied to it.
• To turn on the slider, you can Option-click the Show Original button in the Tool Options pane when using the Color Adjustments, Effects, retouching, and reshaping tools.
• Or, you can force click your image while using the Color Adjustments and Effects tools.
• And, to always have access to the Split Comparison view, you can also add the new Compare button to the Pixelmator Pro toolbar by clicking View > Customize Toolbar.
• When inserting image layers using the FaceTime camera, these will now include portrait masks to make it easier to blur or remove backgrounds and add effects to your FaceTime photos.
• Use the new Bokeh blur effect to apply beautiful photographic blurs to images.
• Pixelmator Pro can now import .PHOTO files, so you can open images you've edited in Pixelmator Photo for iPad with your nondestructive edits preserved.
• Maximum brush spacing has been increased from 100% to 1000%.
