   Pixelmator 3.2

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   The Pixelmator Team has released version 3.2 (nicknamed Sandstone) of
   its eponymous [1]image-editing app with with a revamped Repair Tool,
   which should make it easier to fix imperfections and remove unwanted
   objects from your images (here's a [2]video sample of the Repair Tool
   in action, uploaded by Pixelmator). According to this [3]blog post, the
   new Repair Tool comes with three repair algorithm options (Quick,
   Standard, and Advanced), which also use four times less memory than the
   previous version. Pixelmator 3.2 also adds support for 16 bits per
   channel, the capability to lock layers, and a Convert Selection into
   Shape feature. Additionally, the release makes numerous fixes and
   improvements, including a Color Depth dialog that can convert images to
   16 bits or 8 bits per channel, a fix for ensuring the Info Bar updates
   after restoring an image to its previous version, and improved
   performance of the Stroke and Fill layer styles. Version 3.2 now
   requires OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks or later. ($29.99 new from the [4]Mac
   App Store, free update, 35.7 MB, [5]release notes, 10.9.1+)
