Good morning, I have been a longtime user of pixelmator and I am trying to upgrade to pixelmator pro in the app store, but it tells me that I do not have the minimum requirements despite having macOS HighSierra 10.13.

What could be the problem? thx

Hey there, along with macOS High Sierra, Pixelmator Pro requires a Mac computer with a Metal-compatible graphics card. Here's a link to a list of such Macs:

Is it possible yours is a little older than that?

Hi Bill, that's actually the Pixelmator Pro Open dialog and it's what you should be seeing when you open the app – the following video tutorial covers this:
