Pixel image editor (formerly known as Pixel32) is an image editor written by the Slovak programmer Pavel Kanzelsberger^[1]. It is arguably the most notable application written with Free Pascal^{[citation needed]}, though it is not free software. It is often compared to Adobe Photoshop, the most widely used bitmap editor in the printing and graphics industries.

[edit] Features

Pixel supports grayscale, RGB, CMYK, CIE Lab and HDR image models, color management, layers, adjustment layers, layer effects, filter effects, web page authoring, photo retouching and animations. A Linux.com review states that Pixel's feature set "rivals that of Adobe Photoshop and outstrips the GIMP in several key areas."^[2]

Planned future functionality includes batch file processing, user scripting (to chain multiple effects), a third-party plugin API and support for files as large as 65536 x 65536 pixels.^[3]

The evaluation version places watermarks on images and can be used for an unlimited amount of time.

[edit] Current version

After almost a year of anticipation the Beta7 was published on 28 August 2007. The current version is $38. The revised version is slated for an early 2008 release. The price then will be $89.^[4]
