Architosh Analysis
Autodesk acquired online photo editing service Pixlr back in 2011 under closed financial terms. Pixlr’s founder Ola Seveandersson then joined Autodesk. Pixlr originally started in Sweden back in August of 2008. It seems now that Autodesk has a key photo editing technology platform to help it extend out its crowing consumer tools offerings, many of which extend beyond the maker-movement but also into consumers wishing to become “creatives.”
On some level this clearly puts Autodesk squarely in some competition with Adobe. Pixlr’s desktop app for both Mac and Windows looks to have some interesting competitive features, particularly with effects and masks.
