EridiusAdditionally, apparently AlphaCapture injects some code into the Finder. When I tried to trash it, it insisted that AlphaCapture was still in use despite me quitting the daemon. I force-trashed it (Secure Empty Trash) and the Finder crashed with a dyld error, making me think that AlphaCapture injected code into the Finder and that's why I couldn't throw it away. This makes me very uneasy, especially since I was not warned that it was doing this.

- 1.1 version is awesome!
Until we release a fix, you may uninstall AlphaCapture by doing the following:
1) Launch the System Preferences App and click on AlphaCapture.
2) Uncheck the "Enable AlphaCapture" to disable AlphaCapture.
3) Log out and back in or restart if you prefer.
4) Either run the AlphaCapture Installer and choose "Uninstall" or drag the preference pane from /Library/PreferencePanes/AlphaCapture.prefPane (or ~/Library/PreferencePanes/AlphaCapture.prefPane depending on whether you installed it for all users or just the current user respectively) to the trash.
5) Empty the trash.
Also, as far as it crashing when it autolaunched we haven't seen that happen, so thanks for the bug report. We appreciate you patience and understanding considering that our beta version still has a few kinks to be worked out!
For anyone that is so inclined: please report bugs to support@balance-software.com. We will sincerely appreciate it!
