In the first major update since it was acquired by Apple, the Pixelmator Pro image editor for Mac has added features for pros with more RAW support, plus Image Playground from Apple Intelligence.

If you’ve been crossing your fingers since November 2024 that Apple wouldn’t strip its newly-acquired Pixelmator Pro for parts, now is the first real clue of just how Apple intends to use the image editor. For Pixelmator Pro 3.7 adds only one new feature that’s akin to its additions before the acquisition, but it’s remained a separate app — with a lot of Apple elements added.
The most immediately obvious of which is that Pixelmator Pro now includes Image Playground. It’s not quite as odd an inclusion as it was when professional video editing app Final Cut Pro got Image Playground, though.
