Popular Photoshop alternative Pixelmator today announced that it is planning to introduce a new Repair Tool in an upcoming 3.2 "Sandstone" update, allowing users to remove dust, blemishes, and entire objects from images with "an unsurpassed level of precision and quality."
To promote the future update, which will be available for free to existing Pixelmator users, the app is on sale for half off for the next week, dropping the price from $29.99 to $14.99.
Pixelmator regularly updates its image editing software, with the future 3.2 update following its January 3.1 update, which added full support for the Mac Pro, with 16-bit per channel images, full GPU support, and optimizations for the multi-core processors in the computer.
Back in October, the app was also updated with Mavericks support and a new image editing engine, greatly enhancing its performance.
Pixelmator can be downloaded from the App Store for $14.99. [Direct Link]

I cannot speak more highly about this app. It runs great on my late 2008 iMac. Great buy.
I'd been using PS for over a decade and finally dumped Adobe and have been liking Pixelmator a lot. The work flow is much different from PS, but I've adjusted and am doing just fine with it. Looking forward to the update.
I'm not a mom, dad, or a little kid, and I find it to be very useful, and a terrific bargain besides. I think you are confusing simplicity of use with a lack of power. A common mistake.
