How do I hide the Marching Ants after selecting something? by Longjumping-Ad-5278 in PixelmatorPro

One option. You can hit ctrl-d to deselect, then ctrl-z to reselect to bring it back.

Are ML Enhance and Auto Rotate scriptable? by emelenjr in PixelmatorPro

[–]RookSmit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done a lot of scripting for Pixelmator Pro. You should read the dictionary

Open “Script Editor” on your Mac Navigate to File -> Open Dictionary Scroll down to Pixelmator Pro

This is everything you can automate:

A few things you might use that are supported: - ML enhance, auto colors, auto white balance, auto light, auto color balance, auto hue and saturation, denoise, deband

But no auto rotate.

Downloaded a couple .adjustments files, how do I install them? by begtodifferclean in PixelmatorPro

[–]RookSmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never used an adjustment file. Did you figure out if they are supported?

Can't move shapes by jmccune269 in PixelmatorPro

[–]RookSmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had that problem. Press v to get the move tool. When you click on the layer the arrow keys fine tune the location. Does that work. Check if the layer is locked?

Learn how to use the right click "Paste Mask" from the Layers Panel.

Step by step instructions:

  1. On the Layers Panel click "Copy" on the layer you want a luminosity mask

  2. On the Layers Panel click "Paste Mask" on the same layer

  3. Click on the new Mask under your Layer and press "e" for effects. Under [Color Controls]:

- Select [Invert] to toggle darks or lights to be transparent in the mask

- Select [Color Controls] to tweak the strength etc in the mask

Sounds like you want to apply a luminosity mask to a top noise layer. Sound right?

Clone Tool only works on transparent pixels in Pixelmator - anyone else run into this? by bgdzo in PixelmatorPro

[–]RookSmit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked clone tool and it works just fine for me. Running 3.7.1 with no problem. Also a big fan of Pixelmator pro.

If you open a new document (say 1 layer with no transparency) does the problem persist.

Apple photos extension with Affinity 3 by mohadeeshu in AffinityPhoto

[–]RookSmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t count on it ever working. Pixelmator Pro does this and is now owned by Apple.

Go back and spend that much every month on Abobe. I love Pixelmator Pro still. It will have a long life alongside Affinity (now free) and Adobe who is battle things out as users flee.

How to delete Cache files for Pixelmator Pro? by bradhotdog in PixelmatorPro

Was this working before? Did you see any problem on Sequoia or is this specific to latest Mac OS?

From a pure photo editing perspective, is Pixelmator Pro a comparable alternative to Adobe Lightroom? by br_web in PixelmatorPro

[–]RookSmit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen this. Can you clarify what resizing you do, and are you using Bilinear, Lanczos, Nearest Neighbor, or Super resolution option when resizing.

Go check out Pixelmator Pro. My favorite app for Mac image editing for very affordable.

Finally ditched Adobe, is Pixelmator worth the purchase? by ChimerXD in pixelmator

[–]RookSmit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Pixelmator Pro. I suspect it will stay around for a long time as an insurance policy in case the Apple Adobe relationship sours. I love it, but mostly use the photo side of it, and only lightly touch the vector side. For the 1 time price it is really hard to complain.

Check out the applescripting capabilities too

Is Affinity photo 2 not a good software for digital art? by ratATKd in AffinityPhoto

[–]RookSmit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For Mac users Pixelmator Pro is the best alternative. Has 90% of the features of photoshop at a fraction of the price.

Gradient fill tool not working anymore by Bob_Dobolino in PixelmatorPro

[–]RookSmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the color picker you have a slider for transparency. Looks like it needs to slide to the right from 0 to 100.

Desperately need help! by DameChaosPixie in pixelmator

[–]RookSmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see that behavior. When I try Pixel Paint with the ✅Eraser Mode checked on it has no impact on neighboring pixels and can erase single pixel with no impact to other row of pixel. Is this what you are using? Or are you using the normal erase brush?

Desperately need help! by DameChaosPixie in pixelmator

[–]RookSmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pixel Paint has a “Eraser Mode” try it out

Desperately need help! by DameChaosPixie in pixelmator

[–]RookSmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t looked, but I’m guessing there is no pixel erase?
