Acorn Mac App Store
# Mac App Store Best of 2015 The Image Editor for Humans. Everyone needs to edit photos at some point, but not everyone has the time to learn complicated super pricey photo editing software. This is why we created Acorn. Add text and shapes to your digital pictures. Combine images together to crea. ACORN is Ireland’s first Age-Friendly Smart Tablet. Irish made, designed and supported with the older person in mind. It is easy to use, easy to navigate and uncluttered, making online communication and access to the internet simple and rewarding for even the most inexperienced user. Acorn TV is available on fourth-generation (tvOS models) Apple TVs. Search for Acorn TV in the App Store, then select the channel to add it. If you are already an Acorn TV subscriber, you can use your regular email address and password to log in. If you are a new customer, you can sign up for a free trial or purchase a membership through iTunes. Flying Meat’s ever-popular $50 Acorn is a great app for performing all sorts of graphical work on your Mac. If Photoshop has always felt too expensive, Acorn can capably handle many of its tasks.
I recently made the switch from Pixelmator to Acorn, but not for the reasons you might expect.

Pixelmator and Acorn are both best-in-class image editors for Mac OS X. Developed by small dedicated teams, each app has a long history of updates dating all the way back to September 2007. As far as features are concerned there is very little I can do in Pixelmator that I can’t do in Acorn and vice versa. Both apps cost $29.99, (although Pixelmator has received free upgrades since appearing in the App Store). No, the reason I switched from Pixelmator to Acorn has little to do with features and even less to do with price. I switched from Pixelmator to Acorn because I believe in indie Mac app development,nand I want to support applications that continue to grow outside of the Mac App Store.
Pixelmator has been an App Store only app since the release of version 2.0 in 2011. At the time I choose Pixelmator as my primary image editor for its impressive features and familiar Photoshop-like user interface. But since October 2011 every Pixelmator update I have received has been free of charge, and over time Pixelmator’s progress has slowed. I would argue that since the release of version 3.0 in October 2013, Pixelmator for Mac has not received a single meaningful update. Meanwhile Acorn continues to receive multiple meaningful updates several times a year.
I don’t mean to pick on Pixelmator while applauding Acorn, but I believe the difference in their business models is clear. Complex apps like Acorn and Pixelmator cannot thrive indefinitely on a one time fee. Apps require regular paid updates to fuel innovation. Pixelmator is a victim of the myth of the App Store, that somehow indie Mac developers will make up lost revenue in volume by releasing only on the Mac App Store. All while Apple takes their thirty percent off the top. If you value indie Mac development, respect Mac developers by purchasing paid upgrades outside of the Mac App Store when possible. Apple, the wealthiest company in the world doesn’t need your thirty percent, and indie Mac developers don’t deserve to fall victim to the myth of the App Store.

Acorn 4.0.5 June 20th, 2013.
Fixed a bug where the Save panel would sometimes show a checkbox in the middle of the file listing when you had versions turned on.
Fixed a bug where the tools palette color well wouldn’t update its color if you changed the color of a text box via the font palette.
Change: When calling a filter via the Filter menu, it is now immediately used for the “Last Filter” menu item instead of waiting for a layer to flatten its filters.
Fixed a bug where the Grid filter wasn’t drawing correctly with some oddball settings.
Fixed a bug when opening files via JavaScript.
Fixed some various color mismatch problems with the brush and Edit ▸ Fill command.
Fixed a problem where the flood fill tool was using a bad color with images which had their colorspace set to device RGB.
Fixed a problem where temporary undo files weren’t being cleaned up.
Performance improvements when drawing on a retina display, as well as color space fixes on a retina display.
Making a magic wand selection is a little bit faster now.
Fixed some memory leaks when using instant alpha or the magic wand tool.
Fixed an issue where using the Edit ▸ Font ▸ Bigger / Smaller menu item would cause ranges of bold text in a text area to be lost.
Fixed an issue where free transform would stop keeping the aspect ratio when resizing with the shift key down.
Fixed a bug where two point bezier shapes would sometimes loose their stroke width when the image was resized.
Fixed a bug where the selection cursor was showing a little blurry on retina displays.
How to remove app from top bar on mac. Fixed a color space problem when applying Quartz Composer filters to layers.
Fixed a bug with the JS scripting environment, where calling array.length() wouldn’t work correctly.
Fixed a bug with auto-levels sometimes moving a layer around a bit.
Fixed a couple of memory leaks.
Fixed a problem where the fill window wouldn’t always do the right thing when filling a layer with the clipboard contents.
Fixed a problem where changing the matte color in web export would also change the color of any currently selected text boxes.
Fixed a problem where duplicating a bitmap layer on a RMBP display would sometimes assign the wrong colorspace to the new layer.
Fixed a slowdown with the brush tool when drawing in a selection.
Fixed a bug where dragging an image from Safari to Acorn’s doc where the img had an href tag to / would cause Acorn to try and find every single image on your computer and stick it in the Image Browser. Which would take a very, very long time.
Change: Now putting PNG data on the clipboard when using the Copy Merged command, to help out with other apps that don’t bother reading the TIFF data.
Fix: The zoom cursor will now update correctly when trying to zoom to an area, but you toggle the behavior with the option key (to zoom out vs. zoom in).
Fixed a bug where changing the opacity or blend mode when multiple layers was selected would only work on a single layer.
Change: PDF files are now opened up as Untitled documents since Acorn won’t ever save them in place (export only). This also fixes a bug where Acorn would save over a PDF file on quit.
Fixed a bug where the shape corner radius would silently reset to 10 when you flipped the corner radius off and back on again without any shapes selected.
Acorn Mac App
When adding a new shape layer when a group layer is selected, Acorn will now insert that shape layer into the group (which currently happens with bitmap and group layers).
Fixed a couple of bugs where the ruler wasn’t updating correctly when dragging or creating new shapes.
Fixed a bug where scaling down text would sometimes clip it.
Single clicking inside of a selection will now remove it (previously this only happened when clicking outside of a selection).
App Store
Fixed an issue where Acorn would remove any extended attributes when saving a file.
