So I googled, meaning to find Lukas extensive review, and instead found Jon Whipple's exhaustive comparison of the same three tools that Lukas compared. Not a huge deal, but I decided I should just settle on image editor and buy something already. I think that is just under the time until you get the watermark overlaid on your image, but then I got distracted and the watermark got added, so I either had to buy Acorn or do my stuff over again. Yesterday I had another image surgery task, and I fired up Acorn to try it on this task, and I got what I needed to do done in like 4 minutes. He recommended Pixelmator, so I gave that a look at the time, but I wasn't sold on it, and eventually trashed it, leaving Acorn on my system with Seashore. The review is huge, and I don't have the same needs that Lukas does. That may be my lack or misunderstanding of the tool, but I started looking at new tools, since there has been a lot of movement in the OS X image editor space in the last last yet.īack in February, John Gruber Daring Fireball linkedto Lukas Mathis extensive comparison of Pixelmator, Acorn, and DrawIt. With Seashore I can usually get these things done, but it feels like it takes longer than it should. From icons, to image compositing, or what I think of as image surgery. That said, more in-depth image editing needs keep coming up. I recommend adding the icons shown here to your Preview toolbar in Leopard. I have been using that anytime I wanted to push some pixels around, but also Preview in Leopard because it has the right amount of image editing tools (rotate, crop, and annotation) for a lot of jobs. I settled on Seashore, which had the right price of free. Last year, I went looking for a decent, reasonably priced alternative to image editing on OS X.
