Pixelmator’s image editing apps have been updated with no bug fixes and no improvements — but it did get a new splash screen confirming the firm’s acquisition by Apple.
There’s a similar new splash screen across each of Pixelmator’s apps
Back in November 2024, it was announced that Apple was acquiring Pixelmator, the maker of notable Mac and iPad image editing apps. That acquisition was subject to regulatory approval, and it was also worrying as users feared Apple would asset-strip the apps for its own tools, as it did with weather app Dark Sky.
Now the acquisition has been completed. That fact has been announced not through an Apple press release, and not through a Pixelmator blog post.
