[DM-MUG] Follow-up on last night's meeting

[Bailey Ford]

Good morning DMMUGgers,

Thanks to Holly for a great show. I now have nightmares about  
stoplight babies and excessively styled glyphs.

I wanted to throw Pixelmator out as an alternative for entry level  
image editing. Nearly all of the stuff that Holly talked about can be  
done in this application too. It does not do some things (like layer  
effects) but all of the nondestructive editing tricks work in the same  
way. Also, Pixelmator adds a few other features that PSElements does  
not - especially in the upcoming 1.3 release which is due out before  
year-end.  I think the two biggest draws for the DMMUG crowd would be  
that 1) it's a little cheaper at $60 and 2) the GUI is very Apple- 
centric instead of being Adobe-centric (i.e. I think the interface is  
prettier).

So, without further ado, here are some links that have video of  
someone showing off the app kinda like Holly did for PSElements:

PS My favorite mac tip might be useful for someone who reads this and  
doesn't know what "glyph" or "GUI" means. Move the mouse over some  
word and do Command-Control-D. It will pop up the definition for you.  
This works in Safari, Mail, iChat, etc. (any Cocoa app).
