Pixelmator is a beautifully designed, easy-to-use, fast, and powerful image editor for OS X. It has everything you need to create, edit, and enhance your images.
Pixelmator is a layer-based image editor. You can quickly create layers from your photos, other pictures, from selections, or even your iSight. Yes, Pixelmator can add a layer to your composition directly from your Mac's little camera. Not only can you link and arrange added layers, but Pixelmator also allows you to blend layers, change their opacity, create clipping masks, or even add layer masks to hide some portions of a layer.

Version 2.2.1:
New Features
A completely new Pixelmator file format that uses all of the today's OS X technologies and makes your image editing even faster and more enjoyable:
2x faster: It can open and save your Pixelmator documents twice as fast compared with the previous Pixelmator file format.
Saves in background: This means that while you play with your images, Pixelmator automatically saves the changes in the background.
Faster saving to iCloud: The first image file format saves only the edits you make to iCloud instead of saving the whole picture each time. So it takes less time to save and you have more time to enjoy image editing.
Progress bar: The new Pixelmator file format allows us to show a progress bar with accurate status while opening and saving documents.
Quick Look support: A better Quick Look support that lets you preview your Pixelmator document without even opening it.
A new checkbox for opening images in their original file format. This means that you can now choose whether to open and save all images in the Pixelmator file format or in their original file format.
