"Pixel": einfacher und besser als "GIMP", weitaus billiger als "Photoshop"

Für 38 US-Dollar können Windows-, Linux- und Mac-User ein vollwertiges Cross-Platform-Bildbearbeitungsprogramm namens "Pixel" käuflich erwerben. Auch dieses Tool wird kein "Photoshop"-Killer, bietet aber einen erstaunlichen Leistungsumfang für extrem wenig Geld. Fast alle aus Adobes Bildbearbeitungsklassiker "Photoshop" bekannten Features werden unterstützt: Ebenen (Layers), Kanäle (Channels), Masken (Masks), Selektionen (Selecions), Farbräume (RGB, CMYK, Graustufen, CIE Labs) und 32-Bit-HDRs (High Dynamic Range Images), Pinselspitzen (Brushes) und Filter-Plug-ins. Das Tool verspricht bald volle "Photoshop"-Kompatibilität inklusive Plug-ins.

Das ist in den folgenden Versionen geplant:

What will be in final release 1.0 (and not yet available in current beta)?
1. Vector paths with SVG support (almost done)
2. PSD import/export support (not yet stable)
3. Photoshop plugins support (not yet stable)

Plans for future releases
1. Full vector layers with separable live effects for each object
2. Node based editing (where every layer or effect becomes node), where you connect nodes, tweak settings etc. to produce final image
3. Possibly 3D layers with 3D objects and Z-Buffer painting using external raytracer
4. Native user interface on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux
5. Able to switch between MDI and SDI interfaces
6. Support for ultra large bitmaps with thumbnailed editing
7. More non-destructive editing features
8. PDF import and export

Platforms
Linux, MacOSX and Windows are considered mainstream platforms (32/64-bit) and all others are only experimental, they presence (frequency of updates) depends highly on customer demand. For example there is quite high demand for FreeBSD and Zeta versions, and there’s no interest at all in QNX and DOS versions.
