pixelmatorThe Pixelmator Team has just released the latest version of their amazing image editing product for the Mac, Pixelmator 1.5.  Big features in this version are features for Web image editing.

The new Web tools in Pixelmator allow users to prepare and export images for the Web with minimal effort, whether it is an individual image or a complex page layout. Images can be optimized and saved in Web-standard JPEG, PNG, or GIF file formats with different quality settings.

The new powerful Slice tool in Pixelmator can be used to slice an image into pieces, allowing each piece of an image to be optimized and saved using its own optimization settings. Saving an optimized part of an image is as easy as dragging and dropping it onto the desktop. The file size and preview of optimized slices or images are available in nearly real-time in the Pixelmator window.

It’s a free update for existing Pixelmator owners, and available for everyone else for $59.
