Pixelmator Pro: More AI functions after Apple purchase

The freshly baked Apple subsidiary Pixelmator from Vilnius has presented a larger update for the MacOS version of its image processing. With Pixelmator per version 3.7 The software receives a number of Apple intelligence functions that have been in the operating system for a long time. Now they can be used directly in the creative app.

Images and text from Apple Intelligence

Under MacOS 15 alias Sequoia, Apple’s image generator Image Playground, which allows the creation of illustrations to be promptly input, is integrated directly into Pixelmator Pro. So you can pass on image levels directly to Playground – via the “Add to Playground” function. Generated images – as usual, only animations, illustrations or drawings may be – then end up in a separate level or replace an existing one. Templates can also use image-playground content and fill the placeholder pictures with AI.

Also are Apple’s writing tools, the Writing Tools, now part of Pixelmator Pro 3.7. According to Apple, existing texts should be corrected, summarized and rewritten in different styles. Since hardly a user uses Pixelmator Pro uses to write longer texts, the question of the meaningfulness arises – but at least text logos or other content can be processed so quickly.

An additional function is “Create with chatt” to “create original text content based on a short entry request or a description from scratch,” as Apple writes. The writing tools can be reached via the context menu if you move through texts.

New RAW import, better accessibility

Otherwise Pixelmator Pro 3.7 comes with a new RAW import for OM-1-Mark-II cameras from OM-System, the voice output VoiceOover should work better (including tool options) and the sidebar shows the function of the individual icons in more clear font.

Pixelmator Pro 3.7 is sold via Apple’s Mac App Store. The license is available for just under 60 euros. The app runs from MacOS 12, Apple Intelligence as mentioned only from MacOS 15.
