This week I am editing a landscape image in Photomator.
It is the sister / companion program to Pixelmator Pro from The Weekly Edit two weeks back, here. Think of it as the Lightroom to Pixelmator Pro’s Photoshop.
My image from this week was captured while on ski tour last winter in the valley behind our house, on a beautifully clear and fresh morning.
I was struggling a bit this week and had to trouble shoot on the fly, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
Anyway, I enjoyed making it.
Let’s go!
