The new shortcut menus are activated using the touch and hold gesture, and add several functions that aim to make Pixelmator Photo more powerful.

When touching and holding a photo in the Photos library browser, for example, users can quickly share, favorite, duplicate, revert, or delete photos.

The new shortcut menus also allow users to copy and paste adjustments or apply batch workflows from the ‌Photos‌ or Files browsers.

Meanwhile, there are improvements to color adjustment present management, allowing users to create custom color adjustment preset collections and rearrange and remove them for a more personalized editing experience.

Pixelmator Photo is available to download from the App Store [Direct Link] as a free update for existing users or for $4.99 for new customers.

I wish they would start charging monthly for this app
did I miss the /s? If genuine, why would you want a subscription? I bought this precisely because it wasn’t a subscription model.

Subscription apps are the worst thing that's happened to computing. I hope you're not serious.

Are you looking for attention?
If they are, it appears to have worked.
