What’s New in Pixelmator 3.8.6

Pixelmator 3.8.6 brings a number of important fixes for a few subtle yet pesky (and deep-rooted) technical issues related to color handling in Pixelmator and includes a rebuilt, more reliable photo browser.

• The photo browser has been rebuilt from the ground up using Apple’s MediaLibrary framework. This ensures a smoother and more stable photo browsing experience.
• Fixed a range of color management-related issues including color shifts, use of incorrect color spaces, slight shifts in color values in the Colors palette, and more.
• Colors in the Touch Bar are now synced to use the document’s color space.
• If a document is saved after changing its color space, the QuickLook preview and document thumbnails would have an incorrect color space. Fixed.
• The document would show incorrect colors if the screen color space was changed while the document was open. Fixed.
• Changing the color space for a document with grouped layers would shift the layer colors. Fixed.
• The colors of text and shape layers would shift after changing the document color space. Fixed.
• When exporting images using Export for Web, the background color would have an incorrect color space. Fixed.
• The RGB value of a color selected in the Colors palette would shift when switching between the Brush, Pencil, Pixel, and Paint Bucket tools, or between sessions. Fixed.
• Colors window color space handling improvements:
• Colors in Colors window will now work strictly in the document’s color space (disabled the ability to change the color space for the Colors Sliders and Color Wheel pickers).
• Colors in the Gradients palette will work correctly in any color space.
• If a PXD document with grouped layers is exported from Pixelmator Pro as a PSD file, opening that PSD in Pixelmator would result in flattening everything to just one layer. Fixed.
• Pixelmator would sometimes quit unexpectedly when opening or closing windows. Fixed.
