Considering how many times we've seen Pixelmator Pro being promoted in Apple presentations, I think it's safe to assume they will treat Pixelmator Pro with dignity as parts of either iWork or the more creative tools Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro and Motion. I ditched Adobe many years ago, and tried both Affinity and Pixelmator. When Pixelmator Pro came out, I've been pretty satisfied with that over Photoshop. They've kept pumping out very significant updates too. It's still kinda simple compared to big old Photoshop, but it's fast and does the job. The ML image grading I'm finding pretty terrible, but the grading tools are decent.

Photomator though… I could see some of that trickle into Apple Photos, and eventually shutting down once Photos is up to speed? They shut down Aperture after all. Not a fan of either Photos or Photomator, to be honest. It's been a while since I tested Photomator though… Perhaps the newer subscription version has become much better? It was something about the exposure, shadows, noise and white balance that I didn't vibe with initially.

If they could be used wired, they could be for vinyls, gaming, Blu-ray, computers, small live performances or anything. Would’ve loved a pair by the TV, but it’d only work with the AppleTV. I think it’s unfortunate. And I must add to that… their commercial is so creepy. Getting more and more creepy to be honest, these virtual home environments where everything is Apple. 😬 

Settlement doesn’t always mean money is involved. Like, if she is a leaker, as indicated in some reports, and had to be outed as a leaker in court, that wouldn’t reflect well on her credibility in the case, and maybe damage her credibility for life. And maybe she wasn’t ready for that? Like, if you’re dishonest in one area, what’s not to say you’re dishonest in other areas. Of course a movement like Appletoo needs to be organised by someone who isn’t afraid to be cheeky and burn a few bridges. Maybe she has those qualities? But I think it helps if they’re regarded as honest people.

I hope the "pro" Macbook Pro 15"/ 16" or whatever the size and name is gonna be, will look respectable and serene… and not flirtatious and fun and feel outlooked after a nights sleep. I'm in my 4 year upgrade cycle, and feeling ready for an Apple Silicon upgrade. But I'm getting anxious because of the iMacs and entry level Macbook redesign rumours sort of falling in that latter category for my taste…

If it wasn’t for the white frame I’d love it. The only way they can get out of this with pride  and style, is if they introduce a bezel-less screen ;-)
