Around 20% better per generation suits me just fine. It’s way better than what Intel was achieving each year!

I really hope Apple doesn’t fuck this up. I’ve been using and supporting Pixelmator since they first launched and am also loving Photomator.

Just yesterday I was using Pixelmator on my PowerMac G5 and was enjoying the comparison of where it started through to Pixelmator Pro of today (Yes, I’m one of those people that loves using old Mac’s).

I was always surprised that Apple dumped Aperture and let many of their Pro Apps languish. Software sells hardware and Apple really should have a hand in pushing the Pro Space as they buy the most expensive hardware.

I'd love to have a replacement for Aperture (been stuck with the now-subscription Lightroom since them) but Pixelmator isn't really that, as best I can tell.  Aperture was a photo organizer and raw processor like Lightroom; Pixelmator competes more with Photoshop or Affinity Photo.

Not holding my breath for a revival of Aperture's photo organizer/raw processor features.

Check out Photomator, personally I think it’s brilliant.

Just ordered a new mini M4 Pro. Location of power on/off not a big issue for me, although I think it is silly ( I only power down on a Sunday eve, then back on Mon morning to remain on for the entire week).  Also, just FYI, Apple offered me a trade-in price of $480 for my fully spec’d M2 Pro early Jan 2023.  But BBW offered me $1,150.  Always shop around when selling/Trading.

What's BBW?

My son says it means “Big Beautiful Woman”, then laughed. I think it might be a porn term…

Such a shame they don't just put the power button the front of the Mac Mini. Sometimes Apple really do go for form over function, I'd hoped that they'd righted the ship when they released the Apple Silicon MacBook Pro redesign, I guess idiots are back in charge.
