Pixel image editor

Today Beta 8 compiled on 64-bit platforms for the first time, so beside Universal Binary for Mac OS X it will be released for 64-bit Linux and Windows x64 as well. Development of this beta is taking a little bit longer than expected but I just would like to make sure it’s really perfectly stable and usable for daily work. Thank you for your patience, I’ll be informing about this new release very soon in a little bit more detail. Regarding 64-bit version for Mac OS X, it will take a little bit longer since I’m suffering from very similar problem as Adobe does. That is because Carbon in Leopard is 32-bit only and to make 64-bit application one has to move his code to Cocoa APIs.

Pixel image editor, including all commented sources, tools, websites is now for sale. Base price was set to $10.000.000. In case of interest please send your offers to sales at kanzelsberger dot com.

Update: This news was of course an April Fool’s day joke

Forums, Bug Tracker and Wiki are not working for few hours already since HDD crashed in server hosting www.pixelcommunity.com website. Also Pixel activations are not working due to this crash. If you try to activate Pixel, it will report following error: Server is down, please try again later. Server is currently being installed on new HDD and all operations should be resumed until midnight today (GMT+1).

Sorry for any incovenience this may caused. In case you need to activate Pixel, you can contact support at kanzelsberger dot com by e-mail.

Update: Pixel activations are already resumed using older backup server.
More news: Server is finally back in server room in Bratislava and connected to internet. Data restoration might take another day, since it was acting as webhosting for many websites and also as DNS server. Thank you for your patience.
Final status: PixelCommunity.com is now fully functional. Forums have been restored in last known state, BugTracker is missing bug reports for few weeks and we were not able to restore Wiki at all, so this one is starting from scratch.

Just to let you know I will be out of office for a week starting tommorrow. In case you have something important please contact me by e-mail until midnight today, otherwise you have to wait one week and few days for response. Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.

I wish you Happy New Year 2008!

Since Christmas is near again, I would like to offer you special Christmas sale again. You can get Pixel for $29 until Beta 8 is released (and that should be near). After Beta 8 is released I will be forced to recalculate USD price again, since american dollar is constantly falling compared to my local currency. Calculated from 1000 SKK, Pixel will cost approx $44 from Beta 8.

So I would like to thank you for all your patience and support of this project, and wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2008!
