Product Description:

Built on a foundation of simplicity, Acorn eschews the outmoded "many palettes" design from yesterday's editors. Acorn presents a fluid new interface that will be familiar to users of Apple's iLife applications. Designed for simple editing, Acorn features flood fill, gradients, vector shapes, drawing and erasing tools, and more. It also brings a few new tricks to the table, including chaining filters and easy image and canvas resizing. From quickly adding text to an image to creating a new graphic with pixel-precise control to just sketching out ideas, Acorn is great for all kinds of image editing.

What's new in this version:

  • [Fix] You now get the correct layer name when making a new text layer on top of a bitmap layer.
  • [Fix] If set to remember the workspace, Acorn now remembers to re-open files that aren't saved on quit.
  • [Fix] Duplicating a bitmap layer now carries over the opacity and blending mode from the original layer.
  • [New] Pressing the 'L' key now toggles between the lasso and polygonal lasso tools.
  • [Fix] Fixed a crasher when using the flood fill tool.
  • [Fix] The flood fill tool now works correctly when there is a negative x/y origin on a layer.
  • [New] New menu item and keyboard shortcut to toggle viewing the Grid.
  • [Fix] Fixed a bug where closing the crop window using the window close button would cause the image to close as well.
  • [Fix] Fixed a problem where "new from clipboard" would sometimes create an image that was off by a pixel in height.
  • [Chg] Moved the stroke color well to the foreground.

I find nothing user-friendly about this. The Tools are strangely labeled.

I always strugle to make image packages do what I want but Acorn makes it really easy. Nice Mac interface too - easily worth 40 bucks to me.

This app is a real Mac Gem! I have tried it for an hour or so, and feel really impressed. Every tool is just where you would expect it to be and works just the way you expect it to. I played with most of the tools available in tools palette, on a clean file, on an image from iSight, and a fairly large (3348x2104 pix) photo. On the later filters are not too fast - gaussian blur filter takes some 2 seconds to display the blurred image, but I find it still acceptable.
The thing that I miss is soft-edged brush. I hope developer has it just around the corner - maybe with the next version number or so.
