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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
I love Pixelmator Pro and, yes, would appreciate more tutorials like this. Thank you!
Thank you very much for all your videos! I am French and I have been following you for several months. Your content is really of quality!
Yes please. More tutorials. I need to move away from [expensive!] Adobe applications. Your tutorials are just wonderful. Happy New Year from Scotland!
love everything you produce, on every topic Jenn! you're clear as a bell & discerning as Holmes.
I love the way you taught this! Thanks Jenn!
I've been using Pixelmator for a bit now and I still learned a lot with this. THANK YOU!
Looking for Pixelmator tutorials I just found yours and I am so happy!Well done explained!Thank you!
Yes. Your instructions are spot on. Thanks for the help.
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!
That was an excellent quickstart! Clear and well delivered. Thank you.
You let it look so easy. It is a joy watching you. Also, you are friendly and cute. Really fun watching.
Fabulously instructional and a nice snappy pace, too. Thanks so much.
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.
This was really helpful, Jenn. I would love if you did a bunch more tutorials with this amazing program.
Thanks. So glad I found this as you really helped me figure out some simple ways to achieve typically “complex” looks.
Thank goodness for this! Just what I need!
Hello yes your lessons are great, I just completed the bird and the clipping masks you are a great teacher, Yes give us more of Pixelmator Pro lessons
I love your teachings on how to do
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!!
Good initiative about Pixelmator tutorials ! Thanks a lot
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.
More More More!!! Thank You! You are so amazing good teacher! work along like in this video its the most desirable! 🤩
Wow! Superb presentation!
Fantastic video, you are an amazing instructor. Many thanks!!
I am a complete beginner .. bought Pixelmator pro few days ago.. really looking forward to this series......
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!!!!
More great information! thanks again!!
Excellent tutorial, clear and concise, thank you
This is AMAZING content. Thank you!
Thank you, Jenn! You tutorial made me buy the Pixelmator.
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.
your video was very informative and superb!! I'm trying to decide between Acorn and Pixelmator and you were the deciding factor!
Thanks for the tutorial. It would be great to see your perspective on portrait work (retouching, smoothing, etc.).
As we've been pestering you for months, :) yes, Pixelmator Prop vids for the win!
Thank you so very much…….Excellent Instructor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💐💐💐💐💐
Awesome, more please!🙏
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
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!
This was very helpful. Thank you. Subscribed. 👍
Thanks - good presentation
Thank you, yes please more tutorials on Pixelmator Pro
Thank you for the video!
Great vid. Liked and Subscribed.
Pixelmator is better than photoshop trust me guys
I really like using it.
@@JennJager same Ma’am
For the price it definitely is (I can’t afford photoshop so I don’t actually know)
This was amazing thank you
This tutorial was packed! with information. Please consider some future videos exploring the new video editing capabilities added to Pixelmator Pro.
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!
1 year later, yes, more tutorials, please. Okay, I'll check your library. Thanks
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
Great tutorial, many thanks
SUPERB thanks for video
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!
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.
good tutorial, bird bird bird,, bird is the word, :-) thanks for the vid
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 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 👍
Thanks for this. 😁
Hey Jenn. Thanks for all the tips and tutorials. Just wondering, there are some tutorials walking users through how to turn a photograph into a gold statuette using photoshop (using apply image command). Could this process also be done in pixelmator pro? Could be a good tutorial (multiple videos out there for photoshop but none for pixelmator - if it can be done that is).
Great tutorial. PMP is a great app. No need for Adobe for most folks.
Thanks!
Thank you so much 💐💐💐❤❤❤
Affinity photos or pixelmator, which one is better or has more features?
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 :)
Just fantastic. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@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 CZcams site many times every hour. Your presentation are flawless. I will look out for your paid tutorials.
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?
Thank you Jenn for a very informative video. I have a question for you, does Pixelmator Pro act as a raw editor? If not do you have any suggestions (other than LR) that might fit that functionally and would use Pixelmator Pro as a plug-in? Also can I perform HDR and/or panorama stacking within Pixelmator Pro? Thank you
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?
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
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.
very nice video
Nice! More pixelmator please 🙏🏻
This video is so awesome. However, I am having trouble seeing my text layer (Kingfisher) after I move my image layer on top. How do I fix this? Thanks so much!!
How do I cut an image from one photo and put it into another, then change the size of that image? Thank you.
2/15/23 I have version 3.9.11 and do not see ther features shown here. Not able to find that cool feature "select subject"
Watermarks?
THANKS
Sorry to ask, how did you erased the underline from the king fisher (when you made the modification I mean) . Thank you!
I have several vintage photos and scanned slides. How can I restore color?
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.
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?
Hi Jenn. Does Pixelmator pro support auto trace like Vectornator?
✨🌹Grazie
Could you do a Pixelmator Pro Video on Video features in Pixelmator Pro
very helpful
Glad to hear that. Thanks for watching!
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🤗🤗
YESSSSS. Welcome!
I am a photographer, tired of Adobe, which I am still using . My main subject of photography is birding, insects, and plants ( all nature related stuff) Does it recognize Fuji profile? Please Jenn, make a real course about this tool, for me it's kind of chinese and I speak spanish LOL
Thanks again and best wishes from Uruguay!
More pixlmator pro please🙏🏼
Ok, here is my question: how do I insert a logo on the photo, like for a CD cover. Thanks
Love ❤️ This Video. Question. When converting text into shapes Is it possible to punch a hole in the middle. Let say the K. Can I make another shape like a circle and punch a whole since it’s now vector ?
Yes, with clipping masks!
Great video but is there a way to apple textures to shapes? Thanks!
If you have the texture you want as an image, you can use clipping masks" czcams.com/video/jGbPOwbHCls/video.html
@@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”.
Jan I had followed you for awhile. Why don’t you respond to questions? I asked you where could I buy pixelmator pro. I go to the Apple Store & I don’t see where I can buy it.
thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks for the tutorial. There are hardly any videos on Pixelmator Pro, so I find it a bit tricky to navigate.
Could you make a video where you recreate some of the best Thumbnails on CZcams with Pixelmator Pro?
Thank you :)
Interesting idea! Who do you think has good thumbs that I should look at?
@@JennJager Thanks for your fast response :)
I personally like the ones by
- Filmbooth
- The Futur
- Alex Hormozi
I found myself struggling with the simplest things in pixelmator pro, such as making the edges of a rectangle slanted and creating rectangles that automatically expand or shrink with the text (which is so easy in motion but somehow I cannot figure it out in Pixelmator pro)
Thank you so much :)
Pixelmator is also a satisfactory substitute for Adobe Lightroom.
You are one amazing instructor! You have an incredible sense of joy as you teach!! I have learned an incredible amount of knowledge about the Pixelmator platform, thanks to you!
THANK-YOU-SO-MUCH!!! MICHAELHARRIS
