You’ll love this new release from CORE. Pixelmator is just awesome.

Pixelmator is a beautifully designed, easy-to-use, fast and powerful image editor for Mac OS X 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’ little camera. Not only can you link and arrange added layers, but Pixelmator allows you to blend layers, change their opacity, create clipping masks or even add layer masks to hide some portions of layer.

It even has iSight compatibility so you can have it take a picture and add it as a layer for editing.

I’ve added the fixed keymaker.

Make live movies of your Mac’s screen, capture everything that’s happening there, including mouse pointer, selections and movements - in real-time!

Awaken turns your Mac into the ultimate alarm clock and sleep timer. You don’t have to wake to an annoying buzzer anymore. Your Mac is filled with your music and Awaken would like you to wake to a playlist of your choice.

Some of the features include Apple Remote support for snoozing and stopping alarms, full screen mode allows you to read your alarm from a distance, volume and brightness fading to ease you out of sleep.

Use the sleep timer to fall asleep to your favorite music. Set the volume and brightness to slowly fade out over time as you fall asleep. Awaken can sleep your Mac as well to save power and wake it up at alarm time.

People who sleep and wake up to Awaken also wanted it to help during the day. We introduced the egg timer for quick timer tasks such as “Turn off the oven in 10 minutes or the cookies will burn! Epic fail on the chewy goodness”. Over a dozen built-in sounds were added to be used for these kind of situations - like a cooking timer sound. You can also add your own custom MP3 files to expand Awaken’s sound selection.
