So the other day I was looking over some sites and happened to find a huge list of different Mac apps for designer.  One of them caught my eye, Pixelmator.  It stated that Pixelmator was Photoshop for the rest of us, as you can see in the slogan under the logo.

I have not been using Pixelmator for about 30days now and found out some really great stuff about it.  First of this is not a full Photoshop replacement app, nor does it want to be.  Pixelmator is geared for image editing, as such it does not have line or shape tools.  It does have a great array of tools for adding some awesome effects to images and even correcting problems. 

Pixelmator is $59 which is really cheap compared to photoshop.  It offers some great tutorials right on the site @ pixelmator.com/learn.

GetClicky

Just wanted to make a quick post on GetClicky.com

I found the older version that was free on a download site and thought I would upload it here for everyone to use.

Here is a screen shot of the theme:

On task that I do often is taking screen shots of websites for posting and for sharing with others. One great tool that I found for this is Screengrab.  Screengrab several options that allows you to make quick screen shots of what ever site you want.

Examples of how to do use it and what it can do:

Complete page (jd7.org) warning over 1MB in size

As you can see its quiet large.

Visible Part

Selection

These were all done using the save option but you can use the copy option if you just want to select something while your using Photoshop or another design application.

Hope you find this helpful :)
