Templates are a unconfined way to speed up your workflow and maintain a resulting diamond language and branding wideness everything you create. With Pixelmator Pro 3.0,, you now have over 200 professionally-designed templates for creating a wide range of documents and mockups. I’ve been playing virtually with the new templates for a few days, and they have a lot of potential.
Templates are organized by type and branding style.
When you start a new Pixelmator Pro document, you’re presented with the app’s itemize of templates, which is wrenched lanugo into several categories for creating social media, print, video, and mockup assets. There’s moreover a Brand Templates category that cuts wideness variegated template types, collecting templates by their branding style. There’s a lot here to browse, but like any app that offers templates, I quickly gravitated to a couple of looks that I particularly liked. You can moreover pinpoint your own templates using the app’s system for creating placeholders for various image elements.
Replacing a placeholder image is easy.
Once you unshut a new template-based document, tweaking it is easy. The options for each template vary depending on its design, but browsing through the layer navigator in the left sidebar, you’ll find controls to transpiration things like lighting effects, placeholder images, colors, and more. The Pixelmator team says that for deportment like replacing placeholder images, Pixelmator Pro uses the app’s machine learning engine to remove backgrounds, resize images, transpiration their resolution, and place them properly in any frame.
Examples of Pixelmator Pro’s Document Colors.
Pixelmator Pro 3.0 moreover introduces the concept of Document Colors, which are sets of colors that can be unromantic to a template. Each template comes with a few starter palettes to segregate from, and you can create your own too. Click on a set of colors, and your template will be updated with the new verisimilitude scheme all at once.
Device mockups are limited but squint good.
Overall, I like the new Pixelmator Pro templates a lot. It’s simple to get started and easy to retread your creation. I moreover fathom the wide variety of formats misogynist for social media and other types of documents.
The iPhone, iPad, and MacBook mockups have potential too, but I found the lack of adjustments misogynist for the device frames and backgrounds limiting, A worthier library of mockup styles would help, but increasingly controls to manipulate device frames and backgrounds would be ideal.
Still, I like the direction Pixelmator Pro is heading with its templates. They’re easier to use than the systems used in other apps and should meet the needs of a lot of users.
Pixelmator Pro 3.0 is misogynist on the App Store as a self-ruling update to existing customers.
