The bad thing is that it took me two sittings to process and export my photo shoot, when in Lightroom it would only take one afternoon. So I stay under 100 photos at a time but I believe I should go lower because it can quit on me, 50 would be a good number.ĭuring my time processing this photo shoot, Pixelmator Photo froze many, many times specially when pasting adjustments or exporting jpgs, but also more than a few times after pressing “done” when finished adjusting a photo.Īll things considered, it was a good experience that could be better, I loved working on my iPad in a comfortable position for a change. Pixelmator slows down after a number of files and then freezes and quit. When exporting JPGs in a batch from a large number of. When pasting adjustments to a number of photos in a batch, if I try to paste to a large number. Preserving the original names is important for me. So I exported to a folder instead and it preserved the original name of the files. One thing that I hate but I’m sure it’s not Pixelmator’s fault: if I export the JPGs to my Photos app, the name of the files are changed for some random IMG_XXXX name. On the same note, I created and saved many personalized presets, but I can’t find how to remove the ones I don’t need anymore. In it I can find the last few adjustments I made to the last few photos processed in one click. I LOVE to have the R (Recent) preset group, great little feature. Still, not bad but I wish it was much faster. It takes much longer than simply pressing a “->” key or button, or selecting the next photo from a filmstrip. This time my photos were in a folder, not in my Photos app, so the process was: process one photo, press “done” and wait for it to save the adjustments creating a. Switching from one photo to the next is cumbersome. It’s not that bad, but it is not as fluid. It also takes much longer than Lr to actually paste the adjustments. It requires multiple steps: after adjusting the first photo, select Copy adjustments, exit the editing mode, enter “select” mode and then select the files where I want to paste the adjustments, and then select paste adjustments. I love the fact that I can copy and paste the adjustments I did on one photo to multiple photos in a batch, but it is not as easy and fast as it is in Lr. The work flow is not as fluid as it is with a tried and true tool like Lightroom on a computer. It doesn’t behave like my (Still) main tool: Lightroom, but I like what I see. I can control highlights and shadows as I want. The photos were taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III.Īpart from the fact that I’D LOVE to have local adjustments, the actual adjustment of a photo in Pixelmator Photo is a very nice experience. So I’ve been using Pixelmator Photo for a few photos now and then, but in the last few days I processed an entire photo shoot using this app exclusively for the first time, that is around 350 photos of a single photo shoot session.
