Acorn 2.1



Acorn is a new image editor built with one goal in mind - simplicity. Fast, easy, and fluid, Acorn provides the options you'll need without any overhead. Acorn feels right, and won't drain your bank account (at ALL).

* Take screen-shots using Acorn and edit them right away.
* Chain together image filters to create stunning effects.
* Layer based image editing, an industry standard.
* Make new images and layers using your built-in iSight.
* Easy image and canvas resizing, just by changing the size of your window.
* Take advantage of every pixel of your monitor with full screen image editing.
* Tablet sensitive for pressure strokes and using the tablet's eraser.
* Vector shape and text layers.
* Freeform, elliptical, rectangular, and magic wand selections.
* Gradients.
* Create and apply custom text styles.
* Control opacity and blending modes for each layer.
* Write plugins using the Python scripting language, as well as in Objective-C.
* GPU powered. The same graphics card that makes your gaming experience smooth, helps Acorn fly through the toughest of graphics operations.



Whats New Version 2.1

* AppleScript support, along with improved JSTalk support.
* Acorn now comes with a Hex color picker in the color palette.
* Fixed a bug where Acorn wouldn't hide the palettes with the tab key when the current layer wasn't visible.
* Fixed a bug where pasting text at the end of a text box would cause Acorn to flip out occasionally.
* Reworked the text widgets a bit.
* Fixed a bug where the rect corner radius button in the palette was unchecked after you drew a shape with a corner radius.
* Fixed a drawing bug when you had the opacity of the brush set less than 100%, and the origin of the layer wasn't 0,0.
* Acorn handles icns data a little better for pasting.
* Fixed a bug where selections would get funky when merging text and shape layers on top of other shape layers.
* Added a shortcut to "Make Natural Size", which is pretty handy when working with text boxes.
* No longer making new layers for multiple text boxes. They will instead just stay on the same layer they were created from.
* Acorn gives a message telling you why it can't save when you try and save a file to a location without write permissions.
* Took away the option to automatically download and install updates in the background. This was confusing.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.6 or later.
