You can install it today at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/pixlr.com\/desktop\" target=\"_blank\">pixlr.com<\/a>\u00a0for Mac and Windows, or download directly from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/autodesk-pixlr\/id880663569?mt=12\" target=\"_blank\">Mac App Store<\/a>.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re already a Pixlr Express user, you\u2019ll notice some familiar details in Pixlr for Mac and PC. You\u2019ll also discover new tools like a double exposure option and Influence Masks that can be used to not just correct photos but to do more advanced editing or create photographic art. Pixlr for Mac and PC brings together the best tools we\u2019ve built over time, including popular Stylize filters that turn your photos into sketches and watercolor paintings.<br \/>\nWhen you download the app, you\u2019ll be using the starter edition. Starter is free and has many of the features of Pixlr Express for web and mobile. Create a free Pixlr account to unlock Essentials, giving you access to additional effects, overlays, and tools like double exposure. Subscribe to a Pro membership and take advantage of advanced masking tools\u00a0\u00a0\u2014 as well as everything we add to the app as it grows and evolves. A Pro membership is $1.99\/month or $14.99\/year.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re a long-time user of our apps, you\u2019ll undoubtedly be happy to see a few of these new options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High resolution images: One of the best things about an installed app is that it can take advantage of more processing power than a web browser. No compressed images here. You can save your images at their full, original resolution.<\/li>\n<li>Preserves EXIF data: These days people take photos with all kinds of digital devices. Pixlr presents and preserves the metadata your device includes with your photos.<\/li>\n<li>Influence Panel: Available for Pro members, we built this collection of masking tools from the ground up to help you isolate areas or objects and apply sophisticated effects to just those areas. Change the color of a necktie at the drop of a hat or make a background into something illustrated and artistic.<\/li>\n<li>Blending modes: Blending modes can help you place objects into photos that weren\u2019t there before, but it also can be used in conjunction with lots of effects to alter the color and light in an image.<\/li>\n<li>Use your own fonts: Since this is a downloadable app, you aren\u2019t limited to the web fonts included in a web app. Use any font you\u2019ve installed on your system. Add as many as you want.<\/li>\n<li>New effects! If we\u2019ve learned anything about Pixlr users, it\u2019s that they love trying more and more overlays, stickers, borders, and options. We\u2019ve added new effects for all three versions, and we\u2019ll be adding more for Pro users on a regular basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those are just a few of the things to check out in Pixlr for Mac and PC. If you\u2019re curious about any of the new tools \u2014 or if you\u2019ve never tried any of our online apps before \u2014 we made a batch of short videos to help you get acquainted with Pixlr for Mac and PC.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/channels\/799821\" target=\"_blank\">Give them a watch<\/a>.
