Autodesk’s popular web- and iOS-based photo editor has now come to the desktop as Pixlr for Mac, providing most of the same fun effects and photo enhancement features that users of Pixlr Express for iOS have come to know and love. Users can apply quick fixes and effects from a pallet of hundreds of available options, including one-click fixes to balance out colours and lighting, or can dig deeper into advanced editing features such as merging images, erasing imperfections, and adding focus and effects to specific areas.
Users can download the app for free from the Mac App Store and get started with basic photo editing tools and over 600 effects; creating a free Pixlr account and signing in grants access to enhanced features and additional effects, overlays and borders. While most users will be more than content with everything available for free, more serious users can purchase a “Pro” subscription for $15/year that grants access to a suite of more powerful editing tools and control over specific colour channels.
