   Pixelmator 3.0

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Pixelmator gets updated to version 3.0 with a new official name '
   [1]Pixelmator 3.0 FX (though the [2]Mac App Store, the sole place to
   purchase Pixelmator, doesn't append the 'FX' to the image editing and
   manipulation app's name). The new release uses a new image editing
   engine that should improve speed dramatically, as well as adds
   non-destructive Layer Styles (such as shadows, gradients, and
   outlines), a Liquify Tool for warping images, and support for OS X 10.9
   Mavericks (including App Nap, Compressed Memory, and tags). But these
   new features come at a cost, with Pixelmator 3.0 FX now selling for
   $29.99 (rising from the special half-price 'introductory' cost of
   $14.99 that it's been selling for since October 2012). ($29.99 new,
   free update, 35.9 MB, [3]release notes)
