Description
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.
Version 6.1: Metal 2 support on macOS High Sierra 10.13 and later So what does this get you? Faster panning, brushing, fills, and just a general speed improvement overall. Acorn should feel more fluid, and we've even seen framerates over 160 FPS when brushing on a 2015 iMac 5k. Other New things By very popular demand, color icons are back! They are turned on by default, but if you liked the way things looked previously you can turn off the "Color Interface" option in the General preferences tab. HEIC/HEIF encoding support for folks running 10.13.4 or later (Save As…, Export…, and Web Export). Support for opening EPS files. When taking screenshots the Touch Bar is now included if you're lucky (or unlucky?) enough to have a MacBook Pro. Support for 30 bit image display for the new iMac Pro. The Replace Color filter has a new option to ignore alpha when comparing colors. Changes Transforms are a bit faster now by drawing a low-quality transform when moving, and then a high quality one when Acorn has more time to do the rendering. Added a new pref to turn on or off checking for important news. Squircles. Removed some old text styles that no longer made sense, and added some new ones (this is under the Edit ▸ Text Style ▸ sub menu. Did you know you can make your own to save in Acorn's App Support folder?). The App Store version of Acorn no longer has an option to purchase a 14 day free trial for $0. Various Apple App Store bugs, incomplete APIs, and a general bad experience all around caused us to think hard about removing it and we think it's best to do so for now. A 14 day free trial is still available via our website, where you can download Acorn and try it out right away. Fixes Various little Quality of Life fixes. Various undo notifications are now 94% more accurate. Removed some filters which showed up in 10.13 that didn't make sense for Acorn (Hello CILabDeltaE, I'm looking specificaly at you). Fixed an issue where indexed PNGs were opening up empty.
OS X 10.11.4 or later, 64-bit processor
