Excellent. I've now purchased Pixelmator based on this tutorial. Thank you.
I use Pixelmator for church graphics for our internet campus. I am still learning how to move around in it but this tutorial definitely shed light on different things that I can do. Thank you PC Classes for your help.
David, I have been procrastinating over whether to buy Pixelmator and your tutorial, which was so well done and easy to follow has convinced me to go ahead and purchase it! You are a an excellent teacher. Thank you so much:)
David, OMG!!! soon as I downloaded this app to start learning it and lost my toolbars and thought I need to educate myself and started watching your video!!! It's almost the first thing you mention!!! Thank you!
Awesome. I have never used Photoshop because of it's complexity and difficulty. Even last week I was interviewing fora job and I told them I could not draw a circle, even with a computer. I know (knew) essentially nothing about graphics, and this class taught me enough to feel confident I can not only use this tool, but produce some good looking projects. I am looking forward to firing up Pixelmator and dumping all the idiot tools I have been trying to use for banners, memes, posters, business cards, posters, etc. Amazingly clear and concise instructor, and he covered tons of tricks that gave me a good grasp of how artists work, while still staying focused on covering all the basics. David just became my go-to instructor for anything he teaches that I want to learn. Looking forward to looking thru his catalog of courses. And Pixelmator should just about be done downloading now, so off I go.
Great for an introduction - hits all the tools and a lot of the effects, and covers the basics of layers. A lot for an hour.
Thanks for doing this . . . it was a great intro for someone completely new to the tool. Well done!
Thanks a million!!! I've been looking for tools for so long...this video helped me to really start!
THANK YOU!!! I have had Pixwlmator for a month and felt stupid because I couldn 't manipulate my images easily...this was excellent! I will be looking for more!
from France, thanks a lot , I just bought Pixelmator and your tutorial it's absolutely great !!I'm a new fan of your site.
Excellent class. Thanks for your tutorials. Greatly appreciated.

Along with your other videos this has really been a big help in understanding Pixelmator. I'm starting off with the iPad version on my iPad 3 but will eventually get the Mac version thanks to this video.

Hi, I just baught MacBook Pro and was searching for good software to edit my RAW images. Since I have just started portrate photography, price of the software is really important for me to be as low as possible. After watching this tutorial, I am now happy to purchase Pixelmator. Thanks again and have a great day.
thanks so much! I needed this!
quick question, what is the benefit of clicking and dragging when you want to make text on the screen? Why not just single click on the screen and start typing?
This was so incredibly helpful. Thanks very much!
Installed, everything works, thanks!
Great Stuff David as I am trying to learn both Pixelmator and Enlight for work on my iPhone 6s Plus and on my rMBP thank you
Awesome - very helpful - thanks very much

David, great video. Been using Pixelmator for years with great frustration.

I'd love to see a similar video for Acorn 5 and/or Affinity Photo as well.

LadyJustice is
Great vid, as usual. However, I was wondering if you might consider making a vid on Pixelmator's 2.4 Colbalt for the iPad (released last month). I simply can not seem to locate any useful info, tutorial or anything concerning this app. As I have never used Pixelmator, I am flying blind and the older tutorials are a bit out of date.
Well done, David. I'm an Indie author. I recently purchased Pixelmator to help me create 3D book covers and ad pages. Would love to see a tutorial on how to use Pixelmator on how to do these things. Not so much looking for how to create a book cover from scratch but how to take an original cover's jpg and convert it into a 3D book cover and then use that cover in an ad that could be used in the back of other books as well as on Facebook, etc.
very Helpful i will be riding with you, as I'm just learning.
been thinking about getting pixelmator so wanted to watch and get an idea think i will be buying it. Thanks guys,
Great video, very helpful. I bought that app because there were videos on how to work it
OMG, it really worked. Thank you so much!!
Thank you, very useful... Keep the good work going ...
Excellent video. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much! *****! You first taught me how to use my Mac, and now Pixelmator! Much appreciated good sir.
That was awesome!!!! Very helpful !!!
Thank You David you are the best!
Thanks for this! I used Paint shop pro iwith Windows 95 in late 90s or so. I'm very bad at this, but now found something that works for me :-)
Excellent - really helpful - such clear explanation - do you/are you intending to do a similar video for photoshop or photoshop elements?
Thanks this was very helpful!
This really did help! Greatly Appreciated
Awesome...thank you very much!
Thanks so much! Just got and am happy to orientate littlebit whit your help!
very helpful - thanks very much
Very helpfull, fun, informative tutorial.. thnx a lot!
Video was very helpful! I'm debating between Pixelmator and Adobe Elements 14 so getting a little experience with trials of both to decide. Do they both do about the same thing? Thanks!
Really amazing. Thanks
So helpful, thanks a lot.
Greetings from Brazil.
Great video! 👌🏾👍🏾 Any idea on how boarders can be made for youtube thumbnails?
Your video is SO helpful and fun!! I liked your tanned face lol! Now I decide to buy this pixelmator instead of photoshop elements. LOVE your step by step teaching style.
Terrific Teaching! Thanks...
David - great tutorial. By the way, there used to be templates available in iPhoto to make personalized stationary to send through MAIL. (It was fantastic.)That's no longer an option in Photos in OS X El Capitan to do the same thing. (You can make cards, calendars, etc., but no templates to add in photos and send through Mail anymore directly from Photos like there were in iPhoto.)
In the export here in Pixelmator, I don't see anything - just my little hope - of a way to export anything here into Mail directly either.
Any ideas on that?
you're Great, thanks for all the videos and tips
Great work - thanks!
Extremely helpful...thank you very much.
Thank you for a very helpful video
Very useful man! Thanks
i love pixelmator but I'm so used to photoshop so this really helped
Thanks man! You nice tuto!!
Sooooooo helpful!! Thanks so much!

Hi David. EXCELLENT video. Question, may I create an ebook from this video? I teach and just LOVE your CZcams videos. Of course, I‘d be happy to add links to your online courses - if you have any. Cheers

Great video - covers a lot at a great pace - Happy Experimenting
Very clear and helpful - Thankyou
nice! I loved, but I am getting trouble with the image sizes... sometimes I drop a image that is bigger than what I choose in the beginner, sometimes it is smaller... how can I fix this?
thank you
thank u helped me a lot
spot. Great content my man
Could you teach a class on Hotkeys and shortcuts, with a printable chart to refer to?
OMG THANKS SO SO MUCH THIS HELPED!!!
That Guy Thanks, I will look into it later.
Great. Very helpfull!
Video has given me the confidence to buy Pixelmator - thank you!
I bought this program myself just the other day -- actually this is the first program I've bought since switching to a mac and must say it was worth every penny.
Does this app do 2D - Paint, Draw, Sketch, Collage? I want to be able to add a photo and make it a painting and cut out and add into a collage and add photos or drawings. Will this app do this on iPad or can you suggest another?
Fantastic tutorial!
Great turorial, as software doesn't come with any instructions apart from some quick clip vids on the pixelmator site
I switched from adobe photoshop after they raised the monthly price. This is a great program and the features are all you need to create
And edit images. Easy to use and they offer a tablet app as well as Mac program. It's a bit more intuitive than Photoshop. I have been very happy with this as a Photoshop alternative.
Nice! You have great useful channel! It helps to learn new services and practice English too)))
utilised and enjoyed wNice tutoriallst increasing in value.
Can you create collages as well, I run a health and fitness business and like to create collages and recognition type stuff as well.
Any chance of making an update tutorial for Pixelmator Pro for Mac in 2022?
Great vid!
