The topic At least for now, Liquid Glass in Pixelmator Pro remains a Creator Studio exclusive<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Apple introduced Apple Creator Studio \u2013 a new subscription bundle that provides users access to all Apple pro software on Mac and iPad, such as Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Motion, and Pixelmator Pro.<\/p>\n

With this launch, we got Pixelmator Pro on iPad for the first time \u2013 and a new Liquid Glass design on Mac. However, the latter is yet to be released for people who already paid for the app, and it doesn\u2019t look like that\u2019s going to change.<\/p>\n

When Apple initially released the new version of Pixelmator Pro for Creator Studio users, it had promised that updates would continue for users who already purchased the apps \u2013 just that a few Creator Studio exclusive features wouldn\u2019t be there. That\u2019s more than fair, and that has so far remained to be the case.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s one catch there though \u2013 and the catch is that you won\u2019t get Liquid Glass.<\/p>\n

The first major update to Pixelmator Pro since the Creator Studio launch came out this week, adding improved file support for some new camera models and new app mockup templates featuring iPhone 17 models. This update came to both the up front paid version and the Creator Studio version \u2013 with one key distinction: the up front paid app is version 3.8, and the Creator Studio app is version 4.2.<\/p>\n

In functionality, they\u2019re almost completely identical \u2013 but for whatever reason, Apple has decided that people who already paid for the app won\u2019t be getting the new Liquid Glass design. To some, this is probably a benefit, since many aren\u2019t in love with the design language anyways.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, if you\u2019re someone who likes Pixelmator Pro, already bought the app, and would\u2019ve liked to have a Liquid Glass design \u2013 it appears you\u2019re out of luck, at least as things stand right now.<\/p>\n
