Pixelmator is a very nice piece of software.
However, its editing capabilities are geared towards web-graphics at the moment. I found it was ok for editing large TIFFs, but struggled a bit with what I needed to do.
If you want to use the Apple Composer filters etc then it's great. However, there's no support for Photoshop plugins (IIRC), and I have a fair stack of those. Trouble is, I've been using the full Photoshop for too long
If I was going for a budget package, then probably Elements would be it. But Pixelmator is definitely a great tool (and there are some excellent tutorials on their web site). I'm sure it'll grow... given time.
