   Pixelmator 3.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   The [1]Pixelmator image editing app has been updated to version 3.1
   (nicknamed Marble) with a couple of improvements aimed at the new Mac
   Pro. It adds support for 16-bit per channel images, and it's able to
   simultaneously utilize the Mac Pro's dual graphics processors to
   accelerate composition rendering for faster and more responsive
   performance (see this [2]blog post for more). Pixelmator also adds MILK
   Print on Demand as its on-demand printing partner, enabling you to
   order prints (as well as notecards, posters, and more). The update also
   brings a bevy of layer styles improvements, returns a number of effects
   (including Pointillize, Pixelize, Mandala, Concert, and more), improves
   the stability of the effects rope, improves support for RAW image
   files, ensures text stays visible on grouped text layers that are
   duplicated, and banishes the 'Low disk space' message when it's clear
   that your computer has ample storage space. ($29.99 new from the [3]Mac
   App Store, free update, 36.7 MB, [4]release notes)
