Eerste grote update voor Pixelmator sinds overname door Apple
Toen in november van het afgelopen jaar bekend werd dat Apple het complete team achter Pixelmator Pro en Photomator
had overgenomen waren veel mensen bezorgd over wat dit voor de toekomst zou betekenen. De grote vraag was vooral of er nog updates voor deze apps zouden blijven uitkomen.
Inmiddels kunnen we dat bevestigend beantwoorden, maar de update die nu is uitgebracht is vooral bedoeld om Pixelmator Pro aan te doen sluiten bij macOS.
Eerste grote update voor Pixelmator sinds overname door Apple
Dat is ook duidelijk terug te zien in de release notes:
Pixelmator Pro 3.7 adds support for Apple Intelligence*, introducing faster new ways to bring your creative ideas to life with Image Playground and Writing Tools. This update also improves RAW format support and adds accessibility improvements.
Image Playground
- With Image Playground, you can now create fun, original images based on a photo, a description, or people from your Photos library.
- Use the new Add to Playground feature to easily recreate any image layers or drawings in beautiful artistic styles like animation, illustration, or sketch.
- Insert your created images as new separate layers from the Insert menu at the top of your screen or replace any existing layers using the Replace Layer feature.
- When working with templates or mockups, you can easily replace placeholder images with your Image Playground creations.
Writing Tools
- With support for Writing Tools, you can proofread, summarize, rewrite, and modify the tone of any text in your designs.
- The Compose feature lets you tap into the power of ChatGPT to create new, original text content from scratch based or a quick prompt or a description.
- Simply hover over or Control-click any highlighted text in Pixelmator Pro and click Writing Tools to get started.
Other Improvements
- You can now open and edit RAW images from OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II cameras, taken using High Res Shot.
- VoiceOver support has been improved to provide spoken and braille descriptions of Pixelmator Pro tools.
- You can also use your keyboard to navigate through tool option items with VoiceOver.
- Hover over items in the Tools sidebar to display their names in large text using Hover Text.
*Apple Intelligence requires a supported device, language, and region. Learn more at https://www.apple.com/apple-intelligence/
Maar aan het eind (onder “Other Improvements”) vinden er ook dat er nu volledige ondersteuning is toegevoegd voor de RAW-bestanden van de OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II camera’s. Het gaat in deze update dus niet alleen om Image Playground en de Writing Tools.
