Photomator pro

I've been using Pixelmator (now called classic), but not the pro version for several years
There's a 7 day free trial for the Pro , so you've nothing to lose by giving it a go, and a fortune to like if you think it's all you need over paying for photoshop.

They have done in the past, but there is no regular pattern. Also the pricing structure they brought in last year makes the perpetual license rather unattractive.

With the perpetual license features are "frozen" at the day of purchase, and bug fixes only provided for 12 months. You can upgrade at the end of 12 months, which bring you up to date with new features and a further 12 months of bug fixes. The upgrade pricing for the perpetual license is complicated, There is a 40% discount if you upgrade every year, but you pay the full price if you upgrade every 2nd year.

There is a table here (you need to scroll down) that gives some costs comparisons:


As I upgraded my perpetual license every year, and as the new licensing scheme reduced the subscription price, I switched to the subscription, which means I'm paying a little bit less than I was paying for the perpetual license.

The cheapest one, which is £175 a year.

So, not the "all in one" or the new "studio" I think there are only the three now. Ignoring the C&H(Culture and Heritage) version which they never seem to advertise or promote.

edit: I feel I should mention that the Adobe sub (plus DXO PR4 for denoising/lens corrections) which includes LR, PS and a website is much better value than C1,

I still much prefer the editing workflow and results from C1, but as I also routinely use PS, and C1 has a poor DAM compared to LR, I find I'm using C1 less and less.

Also worth keeping an eye on B&H for Capture One sale if you are planning on getting the non subscription version.
