    Install Xcode which comes with tiger installation disc. It includes Core Image Fun House.app which has all the tools. The only drawback is the size of Xcode - 2.4GB !!!

    Excellent if you're into designing new patterns and manipulating images in amazing new ways. It is described as "a free application to edit and generate images. It uses Mac OS X Tiger Core Image filters" and like other Mac Core based software, it is powerful and very surprising.
    The free version gives you a multitude of tools, but for only another $14.95 (currently), I highly recommend that you shell out for the Pro version and get ALL the goodies if you too are a pattern and texture fiend.
    I tried it out for an hour today, and bought the Pro version today— it's a slam dunk.

    Posting comments about versions that are OLD and that do not pertain to the current version is a practice that leads to having to read comments such as the one from the guy who is intolerant (went to sleep?) but cannot bother to use spell-check to spell 'ridiculous.'
