Pixelmator is a new image editor for the Mac. It is based on open source technology and uses Core Image technology for image processing. Very interesting ... also inexpensive

Very interesting.

Low cost/high quality programs like this are good for competition. Nice to see a Mac based application, too.

It can also take advance of the GPU processor on your video card (orders of magnitude faster at processing floating point based filters over CPU). Just wish a PC version of this gem existed (read about this editor a few weeks ago, and was let down when I found that it was MAC only; lol). A few are trying to do the same for the GIMP, but only hearsay for now.
