Apple Halts Future Updates for iOS ‘Pixelmator’ App
Apple has announced that it will cease future updates for the standard Pixelmator app. This decision comes alongside the introduction of Pixelmator Pro, which is set to launch on the iPad. The original Pixelmator app, released in 2014, served as a basic image editing companion to the now-discontinued Pixelmator Classic for Mac.
Details on Pixelmator and Pixelmator Pro
Pixelmator Classic for iOS offered fundamental features including cropping, color adjustments, and effects. While the app remains operational, no further enhancements will be made. In contrast, Pixelmator Pro aims to deliver a comprehensive image editing experience tailored for professionals.
Features of Pixelmator Pro
The new Pixelmator Pro app for iPad includes:
- A touch-optimized workspace for seamless usability
- Full Apple Pencil support for pressure-sensitive brushing
- Cross-compatibility with both iPad and Mac
- Access to advanced editing tools from the Mac variant
Alternative Options Available
In addition to these updates, Apple offers Photomator, a free photo editing application for both iPhone and iPad users. Notable updates for Photomator have not been mentioned as part of the recent changes.
Apple’s New Creator Studio Bundle
In an unrelated development, Apple launched the Creator Studio bundle. This subscription offers access to six creative applications and exclusive AI features, priced at $12.99 per month or $129 annually.
Included Applications in the Creator Studio
- Final Cut Pro (Mac and iPad)
- Logic Pro (Mac and iPad)
- Pixelmator Pro
As Apple continues to innovate its software offerings, users will need to adapt to these changes, particularly with the discontinuation of updates for the basic Pixelmator app. Future developments, especially regarding Pixelmator Pro and related applications, will shape the company’s creative ecosystem.
