Note to Pixelmator folks:
Perhaps that should say:
Or something.

Grammatically speaking, you might be best off with,
Make good-looking pictures spectacular.
Or: Turn good-looking pictures into spectacular ones.
I think "good-looking pictures" is an awkward phrase that negatively affects the whole sentence. Personally, I would go with: Turn a good image into a spectacular one
or, brevis: Make good images spectacular

Or "Turn 'good looking' into 'spectacular'".

There are several other grammatical errors or awkward sentence constructions. Pixelmator team: I think you could benefit greatly from hiring a native English speaker to comb through your website copy and fix these (admittedly small) issues. Please don't take offense at that suggestion; I honestly think it would benefit you and your business to do so.
This sentence is grammatically incorrect, too:
"With the new Layer Styles, a complete set of Liquify Tools, and support for the new OS X Mavericks features — creating advanced and polished compositions — is now so much simpler, faster, and more enjoyable."
I suggest something like:
"Creating advanced and polished compositions is now simpler, faster, and more enjoyable with new Layer Styles, a complete set of Liquify Tools, and support for the new OS X Mavericks features."

Its very clunky, maybe 'into something spectacular' (i'm not sure if thats any better)?
