Certainly not the strongest part of Pixelmator Pro. Still, a good UI should be easy and intuitive to use not by exploration. Of course, ones you get customized with all features and the new UI, things will smooth out a bit. This is purely useful when you are using a (magic)mouse. You need to click and hold the button which is more difficult to do with a trackpad. Good idea but it doesn't work nicely when you are using a trackpad. Another thing I don't like is the Original button.

Maybe a right click on the whole icon would work much better.ДЄnd that is the main problem with Pixelmator Pro, everything needs to be explorer with trial and error to find out if it works (or not). The mouse pointer needs to be firmly onto the small pixel sized triangle to see the menu with additional tools. Clicking on that tiny triangle is troublesome at times. Some icons have a small triangle in the bottom right corner. I urge the coders to make this again colorful icons like Pixelmator or at least more bright/outstanding from the black background. Yes, if you wait 2 seconds the names are shown. I have good eyes, still I have to watch very closely what the icons represents. Icons are too small and sadly colored greyish and thin lined. Struggling with the UI is also to be blamed on the icons.

For example sharing a saved an user preset needs the knowledge to drag it out of Pixcelmator Pro window. To keep the UI simple, many things are kept well hidden. Still, it's not necessarily better than Pixelmator and worth вЂњupgradingвЂќ.ДЇor example the new UI works against the user all the time. Preserve Transparency, Replace Image, and Choose Mask options are now available in the Layers sidebar shortcut menu.ДЄfter playing with Pixelmator Pro for two days, I can honestly say it is not a big improvement compared to Pixelmator.Дon't get me wrong Pixelmator Pro is good.Use the new Shift-Command-T keyboard shortcut to insert text layers and Option-Shift-Command-T to insert circular text layers.You can also copy and paste masks between different Pixelmator Pro documents.You can now create masks by Command-dragging layers onto other layers.If you'd like to, you can change the scrubby zoom scroll direction from horizontal to vertical using the following Terminal command: defaults write enableVerticalScrubbyZoom -bool true.When using other tools, first press the Space key, then the Option key to temporarily activate the Zoom tool.When using the Zoom tool, you can simply drag your image horizontally - like scrubbing video controls - to zoom in and out.The Scrubby Zoom mode makes it easier to zoom images when using a graphics tablet or mouse.Tasks like automatic background removal, super-resolution, and photo enhancement are up to 1.7 times faster on M1 Ultra compared to M1 Max.

Thanks to support for the M1 Ultra chip, Pixelmator Pro flies when performing machine learning-based tasks on the latest Mac Studio devices.

All shapes are pixel-perfect - this means their vector points perfectly align with pixel boundaries, ensuring any icons you create won't have any unwanted blurring.

Several new shape collections have been added and others have been rearranged, so there are now 10 collections: Basic, Activities, Food, Objects, Arches, Science, Animals, Plants, Organic, and Symbols.

Over 200 new artist-designed shapes have been added to Pixelmator Pro.

Use the Shift-Command-A keyboard shortcut to add a colors adjustments layer and Shift-Command-F to add an effects layer.

You can now easily apply selective edits by using colors adjustments and effects layers with masks.

These new layer types work just like other layers - they can be masked, hidden, rearranged, and more.

Color adjustments and effects layers let you apply color adjustments or effects to all the layers below them in a composition.

Layer masks can now be unlinked from their parent layer - double-click the line connecting a layer mask to its layer to link or unlink it.

Layer masks will now appear as separate layers in the Layers sidebar.

You can now quickly add an empty layer using the new Add Empty Layer button.

Layers sidebar viewing options can now be customized, so you can change the size of thumbnails, the visibility of layer subtitles, and the position of the blending controls.

The design of the blending controls has been updated and they'll now appear at the top of the Layers sidebar by default.

Informative layer subtitles now show useful info about layers, depending on their type: sizes for image layers, text formatting for text layers, path info for shape layers, and more.

The Layers sidebar has been redesigned to make it much easier to work with layers.

Pixelmator Pro 2.4 Odesa brings a completely redesigned Layers sidebar, color adjustments and effects layers, over 200 beautiful new vector shapes, support for M1 Ultra, and more.
