   Pixelmator 3.5

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   The Pixelmator Team has released [1]Pixelmator 3.5 (aka 'Canyon') with
   two new tools, plus a new Pixelmator Retouch Extension for Photos. The
   Quick Selection Tool uses a sophisticated algorithm to precisely select
   areas with a few simple brushstrokes, and the Magnetic Selection Tool
   finds the object edges you're trying to trace and automatically snaps a
   selection around them. The Pixelmator Retouch Extension brings a full
   set of Pixelmator retouching tools to your Photos app, including the
   magical Pixelmator Repair Tool.

   The image editing app brings a redesigned Stroke effect for OS X 10.11
   El Capitan users that's smoother and up to 15 times faster, improves
   the Pixelmator Distort Extension so the brush size auto-adjusts as you
   zoom in and out, ensures the Column Marquee Tool makes exact
   selections, fixes a crash related to editing tiny images with the Red
   Eye Tool, returns the Add to iPhoto option to 10.9 Mavericks, and
   improves stability when opening PSD files with specific Photoshop text
   features. ($29.99 new from the [2]Mac App Store, free update, 54.4 MB,
   [3]release notes, 10.9.5+)
