Image editing tool Pixelmator 2.0 will be released on Thursday with many new features. I’m going to post a few screenshots of the new app along with a short description of what you can expect from some of the new features.

Tool Options: A new bar at the top of each window shows the settings of the currently selected tool.

Info Bar: Provides information about the photo on the top of each window.

Drawing and Shape tools: Used to create and edit vector shapes. It also includes a Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon, Star, Line shape tool.

Smudge, Sponge, Burn and Dodge Tools: I’m sure you know what all of these tools do.

Auto Save and Versions: Taking advantage of OS X Lion, Pixelmator now auto saves documents for you, so you’ll never lose anything. You can also browse through changes you made using Lion’s Versions capabilities.

That’s just a quick look at a few of the new features. There are so many cool new things like a Content Aware Healing Tool.
