Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

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).

Actually the perspective and rotation effects are a way to "beauty" the image, not correct distortions. Picturesque is an image beautifier. And you can bring back the effects pop-ups by just clicking the icons in the bottom toolbar.
