Pixelmator’s lasso tool is all or nothing. That is to say, if you wish to select something with it, you must hold down your mouse button the entirety of the time you are making your selection. This makes it impossible to do anything but the most basic of selections. Nothing refined or nuanced. This is extremely frustrating.

There is already a new an improved lasso tool. The polygonal lasso tool so you don’t have to hold the mouse-button and get tired anymore.
Dont forget the new and cool Pixelmator tutorials that came out recently as well. That are available in iTunes to.

Thanks, Seraphiel! I downloaded the latest version just yesterday and found that feature. I subscribed to the Pixelmator podcast and hope to plow through them this weekend.
Now if only some decent layer alignment and vector tools were added, I could be happy :-)
