Product Description:

Compositor is the affordable image to art creator and image editor from Artly There Software.

Features (quite abbreviated, please read the documentation for best results :) )

  • Huge array of filter and channel effects
  • History/Snapshots
  • Curves and Levels (Curves offers random feature for wild colors!)
  • Paste with over 30 variations of compositing/blending
  • Create and edit with a complete painting and editing tool set
  • Motion and Media brush for natural media emulation (pop the brush tool)
  • Make contact sheets and HTML galleries
  • Slide Show
  • Save and replay actions files
  • Create and edit alpha channels
  • Combo filters for instant art (try Plasticize)

  • As with prior versions it is also an excellent visualizer for artists and photographers as regards knowing how an image or portion of an image would appear when printed or painted at a certain proportion or portion of the original, thanks to the unique black mat feature (see Frame and Mat Modes) which predated similar in other applications.

    Please visit the Compositor Home Page and take the tour for more information.
    Note: Compositor will run in Rosetta when on an Intel Mac but will still be faster than on the developer's native machine. There have been no reported issues. A Universal Binary version is under development.

    Compositor ReviewThe Best! - Version: 2.9.9, 11/16/2007 07:47PM PST

    This has the best filter set of any program. The Char Cold actions are indispensible for creating realistic pencil art. Well worth the price.

    Compositor ReviewPromotes Creativity - Version: 2.9.7, 9/2/2007 09:32AM PST

    I've had a version of Compositor as part of my palette since the very first versions.
    The author has always been personable and has continually worked to improve an already great product and to make sure that it functions properly, no matter what Steve Jobs and his crew do to alter the OS.
    To me, Compositor is the graphics program that allows one to create whatever one envisions, and to create what one might not have otherwise envisioned. Great, great program.

    'Compositor' for mac is an absolutely fantastic application. Just try it by downloading the trial, and soon you'll see what I mean... the filters & image manipulation possibilities are made with great care and by someone with great programming skills AND also listening to tips from users, to see if he can further improve the application. I'm lookin' forward to v3! :)

    Very well recommended indeed!!!
