In a new blog post, the developers behind Pixelmator have just announced the next iteration of their software. Codenamed ‘Sandstone’, Pixelmator 3.2 will include a brand-new repair tool teased in the above video.
To celebrate the upcoming new version, Pixelmator is on sale in the Mac App Store for just $14.99 — half the normal price. Version 3.2 will be a free update, so all existing Mac App Store customers will get the update automatically.
Pixelmator was last updated in January with Mac Pro optimizations. Although the current version includes a repair tool, Pixelmator says they have completely reworked the feature for the new version using the ‘latest breakthrough technologies’.
The tool will remove objects, rips, blemishes and other imperfections in one-step: just paint over the object you want to remove.
In developing an entirely new Repair Tool, we’ve used the latest breakthrough technologies that enable you to remove dust, blemishes and entire objects from your images with an unsurpassed level of precision and quality.
We’ll have a complete look at Pixelmator 3.2 when it launches later in the year.

It still has it for $30 in the app store, I hope it updates to half off. I been waiting for a sale
Still $30.
The purchase button in the search results window shows the $14.99 price but the purchase button on the application’s page shows $29.99 at this time.
Not $14.99 in Canadian App Store. Still $30…. I was really to buy! Now I’ll wait.
Looks good, but I won’t be paying for any upgrades until they get rid of the silly black UI. It doesn’t match or fit in with anything else in the Mac OS X system, except for Quicktime, which was designed in the early 2000’s and is about to be replaced itself.
For a graphics program of all things, to be so backward in it’s UI choices, and to have such a dark, ugly, and decidedly old fashioned interface, is more than a bit strange IMO.
Speaking to your point about it being a graphics program so backward in UI choices… Look at Adobe CS6 / CC! It is also an all-dark interface! And Adobe is the industry standard for graphic design! So… I don’t think it should come as a surprise to you at all. Most people I know (myself included) think that Pixelmator’s design looks sleeker and cleaner than the Adobe suite.
I showed this app to some people and they were all impressed by this application’s UI.
I really like it more than Adobe suite.
They should first try to implement essential features like Layer-Lock, Non-destructive Layereffects and Scrolling past document edges before they throw just another great feature at us… can’t be that hard. Don’t get me wrong, it looks really cool, but what about usability?
