I like the sound of that program called Pixelmator. http://www.pixelmator.com/ Has anyone ever used it?
i sometimes use Pixelmator for lightweight editing, creating icons & illustrations, etc.; it's pretty intuitive and it launches a lot faster than Photoshop; i believe it uses the Mac OS X built-in graphics libraries as an engine, which puts it at Apple's mercy for respecting profiles, etc.; i haven't pushed it very hard, but i don't think it is nearly as robust for layering, masking, compositing, etc. -- for that i prefer Photoshop (i use CS2)
but though i spent a portion of my worklife in Photoshop, i rarely launch it these days; mostly i just work do rendering (curves, color balance, etc.), sharpening, cropping and minor retouching -- Aperture is very facile at those
