“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 22 – Pixelmator
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein readers Ronny and Greenldr.
On the Twenty-Second Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) Your very own copy of Pixelmator! – The image editor for the rest of us! In fact, we’re picking TWO winners!
Sure, Photoshop is nice, but it costs more than 4 years at most art schools. Pixelmator is the hot new graphics app that is hip with the kids, and now you too can be hip! (Yes, Pixelmator is all it will take to make you hip).
What makes it so cool? Well, first, it’s the only image editor built exclusively for Mac OS X, and it shows. Pixelmator harnesses the full power of Mac OS X, taking advantage not only of Core Image, Open GL and Automator, but also by supporting, ColorSync, Spotlight and many other technologies, such as one-click access to your iPhoto Library, Quick Look, Tablet support, iSight import. With over 130 filters, advanced painting, color correction, and photo retouching tools, not to mention the ability to open and save in virtually any graphic format known to man. Pixelmator is quite simply the bees knees. (And of course, what graphics app would be complete without Layers?)
Plus to top it off, they sprinkled a generous dose of “eye candy” over the whole thing, which makes it fun to use too! (Click here to check out all the features or download a demo).
To enter: Since the Pixelmator is all about creating awesome-looking graphics, leave us a comment telling us What was the FIRST movie to blow your mind (at the time) with its special effects? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!

Tron of course. Although, it was so long ago, I can’t remember all of that movie. I should watch it again..
300. It also showcased the best acting that Gerard Butler had to offer. It’s been all downhill since then.
