“Pixelmator grossed a gigantic $1 million on the Mac App Store” and, according to the developers, “that happened in only 20 short days.”

The Mac App Store is Apple's latest major development. The service aims to unify the process of downloading, installing, and updating Macintosh software. It's had a smashing start.

Featured in the Mac App Store on the day the service went live, Pixelmator is a beautifully designed, easy-to-use, fast and powerful image editor for Mac OS X that offers some of the best tools to create, edit and enhance images.

With an interface designed specifically for working with images, layer-based editing, over 20 tools for retouching, measuring, navigation etc., over 130 filters, and a cool photo browser, Pixelmator can well replace Photoshop for those who know exactly what they want to do with their pictures.

Priced at just $29.99 (compared to $699 for a Photoshop license), Pixelmator is a bargain.

And so thought all those who snagged it from Apple’s Mac App Store in the past 20 days, which made a cool million in revenue for the Pixelmator Team.

“I am ecstatic to announce that Pixelmator grossed a gigantic $1 million on the Mac App Store,” writes Saulius Dailide, architect of the Pixelmator Team's user interfaces and website. “And that happened in only 20 short days.”

“What is even better is that the app is getting rave reviews on the Mac App Store (4.5 stars with over 275 ratings on the US store, 5 stars with over 128 ratings in the UK, and 4.5 stars with over 129 ratings in Germany),” Saulius blogs.

“And, thanks to the Mac App Store, more people than ever are choosing to download Pixelmator.”

“Such an amazing success feels fantastic. Thank you so much for your enthusiastic support,” Saulius adds.

The creative concludes with a small announcement:

“We can’t wait to hit your Macs and the Mac App Store shelves with the hot new updates (1.6.5, 1.7 Geneva and the outstanding Pixelmator 2.0) that are currently in the works.”
