Pixel ('http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/') is a commercial image editor written using FreePascal.
<blockquote>

Pixel ('http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/') is a RGB, CMYK and HDR image editing, photo retouching and manipulating program available for many operating systems formerly known as Pixel32. It is available for Windows, Linux, MacOSX, BeOS, Zeta, QNX, MorphOS, Solaris, eComStation and even old plain DOS, for both x86 and PowerPC architectures.

It has been developed by Pavel Kanzelsberger since 1997 and is still in heavy development. In 2005, the first release candidates appeared and once all the bugs are fixed, a final release may be ready by September 2005.

Czech Computer magazine ('http://computer.zive.cz/h/computerComputer/AR.asp?ARI=125714') made image editors comparison again, just one year after previous one. In November 2004, Pixel ('http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/') got 4th place (among programs like Photoshop, Photo Paint, Paint Shop Pro, Ulead PhotoImpact and GIMP). This year Pixel ('http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/') got great 2nd (PDF, 400kb) place, loosing only 2% right after Photoshop CS2 and leaving others behind. They of course ignored fact that Pixel is still beta.

the application is also running quite fine. It crashs quite often while loading images, but the handling is okay and it runs definitively faster than photoshop or paintshop :)

Hopefully he will sort out the stability problems and it can take it's place amongst the great image manipulation programs out there.

Beat GIMP... well thats something. :)

Esp. considering that GIMP is the GNU/OpenSource poster child for graphics editing in Linux.

Ooops! Not top dog anymore... :o

Pavel has emailed me to say that a Beta 5 release is due out soon which should address most of the stability issues.

My favorite is ReaConverter photo editing software. I have just downloaded that it contains anything a digital camera owner might need to correct or enhance their photos.
