Our verdict

Pixelmator Pro is interesting if you want to take photos and designs in the same app. You can go from an image correction to text and layers without switching directly to a separate formatting program. This fits well with web images, illustrations and personal projects.

Look beyond the product name when choosing access. The current Apple offer includes various devices and subscription forms, which may vary features and availability. Check your own system and create a pilot project with the file types you use. Additional software may remain necessary for extensive photo catalogues or specialised printing production.
