See our tutorial on batch processing images with Shortcuts to learn more about working with the Shortcuts app or check out a collection of sample shortcuts created by the Pixelmator Team for inspiration.ĪppleScript is an Apple-created programming language that lets you automate different tasks in Pixelmator Pro by giving it explicit commands in code form. In the Shortcuts app, you'll find 28 different Pixelmator Pro actions that you can use on their own or in conjunction with actions from other apps to unlock even more workflow possibilities. Images are processed in the background, so Pixelmator Pro itself doesn't even need to be running. The Shortcuts app (available on macOS Monterey) offers one of the quickest and easiest ways of processing multiple images at a time using Pixelmator Pro tools and features. The below article discusses all of these methods and their possible uses. There are a few automation options you can go for - using the Shortcuts app, macOS Automator app, or writing commands in AppleScript. Here's the file that I had for the thumbnail I made for my Photomator video:Īs you can see, this has several layers of images and text that I've arranged to create an image.Pixelmator Pro lets you automate simple, repetitive tasks or execute complex workflows to improve productivity, save time, and reduce the chance of mistakes. I use this app most often to create thumbnails for my YouTube videos. I used Photomator to see all the photos, select the ones I thought were best, and then edited those choice shots before I shared them with the family.īut my use case for Pixelmator Pro is totally different. As an example I was recently at a family event where I was the unofficial photographer and I took 300 photos that day. Those photos will get tweaks to exposure, colors, and detail, and I'm usually editing a whole "set" at once. Editing a whole bunch of photos: nah, not meant for that.įor some context on my use cases for these apps, I use Photomator to edit photos I take with my iPhone and Canon R6. You can edit single photos, and there are similar tools to those in Photomator, but it's really not the same workflow. If you wanted to draw some shapes or add a picture of you on top of Mount Everest for fun, you'd do all that here as well. If you wanted to add text to an image or draw with a digital paintbrush, you could do that in Pixelmator Pro. Pixelmator Pro is generally for making bigger changes to images (of video, but we'll focus on photos here). Photomator also syncs with your iCloud Photo Library, so every image (no videos) from the Photos app is going to show in Photomator and can be edited in the app. If you shoot photos on a dedicated camera, then this is the app for you, as you can import your photos and start editing them directly in the app. Maybe you want to repair some imperfections or change some colors, but in general, you want to touch up real life photos you took so that they look how you want. Photomator is for people who take photos and want to edit things like exposure, saturation, sharpness, and those sorts of things. Pixelmator Pro is an alternative to Photoshop.
Photomator is an alternative to Lightroom. The company has a comparison page that might help, but people keep asking, so let me try to explain it two different ways. I keep hearing people asking what the difference is between the just-updated Photomator and Pixelmator Pro.
