You forgot to mention that this update knocks out the cracked serial numbers of version 2.1.3, which is the real reason why developers update their apps., Well, so I'm told by the kids.

Great application though, way too costly to justify what it does. I can't afford it, as most people can't. Your denying yourself money in the name of greed. Sell cheap, and you sell a lot.

Try to get rich overnight by over charging and everyone will have the app, but no one will pay.

When will developers ever learn good business sense.

I agree, it is a bit pricey for what it does ($19 seems more appropriate), but it does have a very nice interface, which allows you to do some quick effects to an image (like giving it rounded corners, reflection, frame, all with a bunch of options). Nothing you couldn't do with Photoshop as well, but much quicker and more streamlined.

Maybe not for everyone, but it certainly is a nice piece of software. And now please go and cut the price in half.

The implementation of this tool is more or less ok and it does what it does with ease. However, what it does is almost useless for any serious image editing person.

Rotate and elevate can be used to fix some unintended distortions introduced by, say, using a wide-angle lens for a portrait (an unforgivable sin in my book) but those corrections are better made in Photoshop with its greater control over things. But the other effects are trivial and a waste of anyone's time and money.

And guess what, folks. Use the rotate and elevate controls on an image, quit the application, re-launch it a while later and...those controls are completely gone. Vanished. As if they never existed.

This utility was a waste of my time. Make sure it doesn't waste yours. Avoid it like the plague. It's unnecessary, bug-ridden and way too expensive ($5 is more like it).
