What's new in this version:
- New behaviour of drawing and gradient tools : By default, LiveQuartz is not creating a new layer each time you use the tool anymore (if you like the old behaviour, you can get it by typing this in the âterminalâ application : âdefaults write com.rhapsoft.livequartz IMDrawingWithoutMerging YESâ).
- LiveQuartz keeps the current selected tool after drawing.
- With âshiftâ key pressed, rectangle and oval tools keep proportions 1:1. And with âshiftâ key pressed, the line tool steps 45°.
- When choosing âSave asâ¦â to a standard image ï¬le format, you can see a preview of ï¬nal ï¬le size.
- A ï¬le opening bug has been ï¬xed (when there are empty layers)
- A very old bug with display of âlassoâ selection doing some pauses is ï¬xed
- âRHIFâ Spotlight plug-in bug ï¬x
- 1.8.1 only for MacOS 10.5.3 because LQ has some hanging issues on PowerPC with 10.5.2

The readme says it might not work on a MacBook. It doesn't. Too bad.

This is a nice showcase of Core Image technology, but it needs adjustable histograms to serve as a full time photo editor. The GUI also needs some refinement.
As is, LiveQuartz is a curiosity.

While PhotoShop still rules everything and anything in the photo editing world, LiveQuartz is great for people who either can afford to pay for PhotoShop's high prices or just want to do some simple quick photo editing without having to dish out a lot of money for program functions they will probably never use. While LiveQuartz isn't as simple to use as PhotoShop and lacks functions, it still can preform many useful and simple tasks. For example, I use it crop photos with ease. Adding text or color is a breeze too. If you want to just play around with photos and not have to pay a lot to do it, get LiveQuartz.
