Apple is snapping up one of the best non-Adobe image editors, Pixelmator

Kevin Purdy writing for Ars Technica:

Pixelmator Pro has been advancing its capabilities recently with regular updates, including a number of AI and ML tools for adjusting photos and creating masks, vector tools, and support for more RAW photo formats and other design tool files.

This is an interesting acquisition. Will Apple roll Pixelmator into Photos, or start some sort of new pro line of image/photo editing software?
