one zombie in a billion

Pixelmator is a very neat new graphics application for the mac, basically it’s a lot like Photoshop Elements but with a lighter price tag of $59.
What I really like about it is the slick Aperture-like ui and integration with .mac for backup and ilife with an iphoto panel, not to mention the inspired isight integration.

While at the moment it really isn’t a contender to the business pull that Adobe’s CS3 suite has, I do like the idea of using this for smaller projects where vector editing isn’t required. Grouped with ilife, textmate and coda, a web designer/developer can put together quite a powerful web production suite for less than the cost of a single component of the CS3 library.
