Love the tutorial, as a kid learn how to use Corel Draw but forgot all about it with the years! now as a crafter I was looking for a 101 on creating images and sketches. I would love to see all the videos you have about Pixelmator. Great tutorial!!
I have been looking for ages for Pixelmator Pro tutorials, and I'm now glad I've found yours. Great tutorials well explained and at a seed that beginners can follow. Thanks.
Thanks Jenn!! I was looking for a non-subscription photo editor, and found Pixelmator in the app store, but wanted a tutorial first to see if it suited my needs! I think it does!! I appreciate your time in making and posting these tutorials!! I'll purchase Pixelmator and watch more of your videos on it. Thanks again!
Just used this tutorial AGAIN to help enhance a pic of my mother-in-law. Especially needed the chapter for Color Adjustment! Fast and super helpful solution that makes me look like a photo doctor m.d.! Thank you again!
This is first time in my life that I've had to use an editor! Based on the comments & how easy your videos are to follow, I'm not going to waist any time looking at whoever the competition is like the adobe.
Love your tutorials. Keep making more on this app. Been using Pixelmator before they came out with Pixelmator Pro and made the switch. They keep making it better. I’ve watched all their tutorials on their channel but can’t get enough as I learn more every time I watch yours. So keep it coming.
As someone that does not adhere to RTFM mentality, finding your tutorials made me really happy I didn’t throw my new MacBook out the window. Very well done, just enough info, as the total package of bells and whistles is daunting to me. I’m actually going to go give my first project I’ve spent way too much time on another shot. I’m going into it feeling better thanks to you Jenn. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks for this tutorial Jenn. I've had Pixelmator Pro since it was on sale a while back. Switched to it from Acorn. But haven't really been using it. Have a project now where I'll be preparing client's layered PSD files for use in Final Cut or Motion. Probably won't use most of the features in this tutorial. Really can't alter the colors or style in the file. But selection, and arranging will be necessary. One piece of feedback. Perhaps useful for others doing this tutorial. Applying the gradient effect to the text layer applies to everything on that layer, including the drop shadow. I did my text slightly different from you with a more dramatic shadow so the loss of shadow was more pronounced. It was actually a good experience because then I had to learn something for myself. The gradient fill can be applied to the text itself. Instead of the text layer. Then the shadow remains unaltered. I learned enough in this tutorial to be able to quickly figure that out. Thanks again! More Pixelmator Pro with FCP or Motion tutorials would be great. And one where using Pixelmator instead of FCP or Motion for simple animations or video edits.
Hi Jenn. This is the first of your videos that I have watched, and I am blown away😀. Your friendly smile belies the clever manner in which you have introduced the various tools and their 'detailed' functionality while building your Kingfisher project. I now realise that I am blessed with a very talented and cheerful person who will help me learn how to effectively use the awesome features of Pixelmator Pro. I have purchased Pixelmator Pro only yesterday and hope to improve the quality of my song videos that I am currently making in FCPX. God bless you amazing lady. Regards Dr. Somanna
Great tutorial, I just got the app today and I am so happy, and your tutorial has been the key. Thanks a lot. I may have a couple of questions for you tomorrow!!! Thanks!!!!
I’m considering a switch to Pixelmator Pro; videos like this are helpful in determining how easily I can learn to make the kinds of edits I want to do. Thank you!
Looks interesting, Perhaps some complete workflow tutorials for beginners trying this software. Especially how to undo steps. One just on masking options would be good as well, covering how to define masks as well as making them.
A lot of nice reviews- mine included. Just for me though I'd like to see your arrow movement more clearly and BIGGER. If you could zoom in closer every time you work the arrow around it would be very helpful to me. I also have to go back several times because I AM to slow. Not you, me. You are doing an excellent job of explaining and manipulating the program. Please keep it up.
Thank you. You are a great instructor and have helped me a lot. Please keep making these tutorials! This software seems like it is a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator. Only Better and much less costly!
Great tutorial. I was trying to decide between Pixelmator Pro and Pixelmator Photo and I think I'll get both because Photo catalogues my photos but Pro allows me to do so many changes and I'm learning all of the tools, tricks and tips from you. Thank you.
Hi Jenn, Love your tutorial! (If you could slow down just a bit that would be great!). On to the next one. I've been an Elements user, and Pixelmator Pro seems to offer so much more. Thank you!
Thank you for your teaching, it’s wonderful... I wonder if it’s possible to combine several photos into a panoramic photo in Pixelmator Pro like photoshop. I buy this software a few month ago but I still not know how to do this , I do this on Photoshop is very easy and I don't know how to do this on Pixelmator Pro , thanks
Great tutorial. Looks like some things have changed or I may be missing something but hitting V after the quick selection did not allow me to move part of the image around for some reason. Edit: seems to work for HEIC but not RAW files
Excellent tutorial. Thanks. I would like to see more on editing RAW in pixelmator pro and editing images on an external drive without loosing the integration with Photos app on the mac. Thanks
Really great video. Thanks. My only criticism would be is that the colors of the bird in the original image the colors popped much much more than the end result version. At 15:35 in the video you can see how much more the original photo of the bird, the colors pop way more. Perhaps that was intentional for the graphic.
Most folks speak so slowly I need to dial up the playback speed. Not you! lol. Wonderful video. Very informative. I'll subscribe for more great PP content!
Uncanny similarities to Photoshop! Came here to learn about Pixelmator. Accidentally learned about Blend Mode and Shape Styles. THANK YOU! In what ways can this app replace FCP? I use it for color correcting my videos, for example. Can you please make more tutorials about video editing in Pixemator?
Awesome! Thank you so much. Please keep them coming! Just purchased PP and will cancel my Photoshop subscription! You are very easy to follow and love your excitement
Great video, Would love to see a tutorial about creating an animated circular logo using PM Pro and Motion... But subbed and will be watching your content regardless 👍
I've never used Blend Modes before--in FCPX or Pixelmator. I know I could play around with them and probably figure out the differences. But you're great at explaining things and could probably give us a real good sense of the possibilities for each one.
Does any particular video concentrate on background removal. I think i got the basics on your first video, but do you recommend other particular video's?
Nice video - thumbs up 👍 I got this as a Christmas gift and I have a weird question. Is this usable to do hundreds and more of files like I would do in Lightroom - or is this a one-file-at-a-time environment? I'm looking to drop LR but need to "fly" thru lots of files from events :)
More tutorials please. Most of my edits begin with the Photos App. When using the Pixelmator extension to edit them it takes me to Pixelmator with the tools but not the full app (re: menu bar). Is there a better way to to use Pixelmator with the Photos app?
Jenn... your instructional videos are so well done... clear and concise with a natural flow. I've been a Pixelmator user for a long time and always learn something new when I watch your videos. BTW - you didn't mention the price of Pixelmator Pro... it's so worth it for others to check out.
Thanks so much! I've learned to not mention price in these videos because sometimes they change and if the price drops after I post, it's unfair to the merchant and if prices are raised, my viewers are put off. But yes-- PP is a GREAT value!
Makes sense. But I will just say the price is a one time fee and been using it a long time. Is easily worth twice the price they charge and usually under $50 at the time of this video.
@@JennJager Your knowledge with Pixelmator and, in particular, Motion, I find nothing short of remarkable. You young people and your young brains! I am attempting to make a promotional short and I find I am visiting your UA-cam site many times every hour. Your presentation are flawless. I will look out for your paid tutorials.
hello ma'am, really liked the video. I really wanted to go with finalcut due to adobe's costly subscription plans but photoshop and aftereffects were preventing me from doing that. I watched your videos on pixelmator pro and apple motion and now I am planning to switch soon. Thanks🤗🤗
@@JennJager Thanks, that was just what I was looking for. Please keep instructing about Pixelmator Pro. I am trying to learn this app so I can complete my triangle of Knowledge for, “FCPX, Motion and Pixelmator Pro”.
![I Replaced ALL my ADOBE APPS with these [free or cheaper] Alternatives!](/img/n.gif)
You are becoming my go to instructor for how to walk away from Adobe. Thank you and yes, please make more Pixelmator Tutorials.
Hahaha welcome to the light side!
Yes please. More tutorials. I need to move away from [expensive!] Adobe applications. Your tutorials are just wonderful. Happy New Year from Scotland!

Fabulous..I have had P.Pro for a couple of years and never had any real education on it…thank you so much

I've been using Pixelmator for a bit now and I still learned a lot with this. THANK YOU!
Thanks a lot - very helpful. Can you run a batch - e.g. change size of several pictures to a specific size? You can run that in Affinity.
Thank you, yes please more tutorials on Pixelmator Pro
Thank you. You are a good teacher.
Great tutorial, I just got the app today and I am so happy, and your tutorial has been the key. Thanks a lot. I may have a couple of questions for you tomorrow!!! Thanks!!!!

Good initiative about Pixelmator tutorials ! Thanks a lot
Wow great tutorial
your video was very informative and superb!! I'm trying to decide between Acorn and Pixelmator and you were the deciding factor!
Looks interesting, Perhaps some complete workflow tutorials for beginners trying this software. Especially how to undo steps.

Great tutorial. PMP is a great app. No need for Adobe for most folks.
This was amazing thank you
Thanks. So glad I found this as you really helped me figure out some simple ways to achieve typically “complex” looks.
Hi Jenn great video, how do I get puzzle piece effect template in Pixelmator Pro?

Thank you so very much…….Excellent Instructor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💐💐💐💐💐
Excellent tutorial. Thanks. I would like to see more on editing RAW in pixelmator pro and editing images on an external drive without loosing the integration with Photos app on the mac. Thanks
Thanks for the tutorial. It would be great to see your perspective on portrait work (retouching, smoothing, etc.).
Fab tutorial! Love your videos!
Really great video. Thanks. My only criticism would be is that the colors of the bird in the original image the colors popped much much more than the end result version. At 15:35 in the video you can see how much more the original photo of the bird, the colors pop way more. Perhaps that was intentional for the graphic.
This tutorial was packed! with information. Please consider some future videos exploring the new video editing capabilities added to Pixelmator Pro.
Wow! Superb presentation!

Awesome! Thank you so much. Please keep them coming! Just purchased PP and will cancel my Photoshop subscription!
You are very easy to follow and love your excitement
Could you do a Pixelmator Pro Video on Video features in Pixelmator Pro
good tutorial, bird bird bird,, bird is the word, :-) thanks for the vid
Great video, Would love to see a tutorial about creating an animated circular logo using PM Pro and Motion... But subbed and will be watching your content regardless 👍
I've never used Blend Modes before--in FCPX or Pixelmator. I know I could play around with them and probably figure out the differences. But you're great at explaining things and could probably give us a real good sense of the possibilities for each one.
Ha - and I just clicked to Episode 2 where you talk about... Blend Modes! Thanks for always being several steps ahead.
Does any particular video concentrate on background removal. I think i got the basics on your first video, but do you recommend other particular video's?
Fabulous video ! Great pace and content
Nice video - thumbs up 👍
I got this as a Christmas gift and I have a weird question. Is this usable to do hundreds and more of files like I would do in Lightroom - or is this a one-file-at-a-time environment? I'm looking to drop LR but need to "fly" thru lots of files from events :)
At 4:45 - Copy and paste as a layer option when you right click is not there . I just bought the software. Please clarify.
More More More!!! Thank You! You are so amazing good teacher! work along like in this video its the most desirable! 🤩
How do you retouch the photo much as you do with Neo?
Fantastic
Thank you for the video!
More tutorials please. Most of my edits begin with the Photos App. When using the Pixelmator extension to edit them it takes me to Pixelmator with the tools but not the full app (re: menu bar). Is there a better way to to use Pixelmator with the Photos app?
Awesome, more please!🙏
Now that Apple has purchased Pixelmator Pro, my interest may increase 😋. By the way, where is the photos library panel?
This was very helpful. Thank you. Subscribed. 👍

Sorry to ask, how did you erased the underline from the king fisher (when you made the modification I mean) . Thank you!
Affinity photos or pixelmator, which one is better or has more features?
Great tutorial, many thanks
very helpful
Glad to hear that. Thanks for watching!
