The Pixelmator team today launched Pixelmator Photo 1.3, an enhanced version of its beautiful photo editor for the Pad, which includes several important productivity improvements.
The app now responds to the long-tap gesture or right-click mouse/trackpad action by rendering the shortcuts menu with handy commands. You can also personalize the app by choosing a custom accent color for buttons and other interface elements.
Another cool perk is the ability to create and customize color adjustment preset collections. If you use Pixelmator Photo to perform the same operations on a set of photos, you’ll love batch editing improvements bringing quick actions, improved workflow editing and more.
