I actually bought some software for once, that being Pixelmator. To be perfectly honest with you, it’s an absolute steal for the actual cost. At the moment it’s roughly £42 GBP, compare that to Photoshop’s cost and then take into account the chances are you won’t use a great deal of Photoshop’s features. I’m not saying Photoshop isn’t a bad product, it’s extremely good, but from the extensive use I had of it, it appeared many of the tools weren’t suited for the work I did with it.
Now that I’m working on my Mac instead of using Windows I wanted something other than GIMP. I’ve never got on with GIMP at all, I find it difficult to use and not very user friendly. Some people are really quite amazing using it, but for me personally it just doesn’t cut it.
Anyway, moving swiftly on to my point. Pixelmator uses Apple’s built-in colour picker which I think is a great idea, but Apple’s built-in colour picker doesn’t have a hexadecimal picker, and for the large amounts of work I do with the web that just doesn’t really help me much. Well, that’s extremely simple to solve seeing as though someone’s provided one. Just drag and drop it into Library/ColorPickers and make sure you restart Pixelmator if its already open. This time a new tab will be available with a gigantic hex value.
thanks
just what i was looking for.
