Acorn 4 0 2 – Bitmap Image Editor

A Look at the Acorn Image Editor

• Online Bitmap Editor

Acorn was part of a bundle I purchased about 5 years ago. I didn't think I'd use it but installed it to try it out - all these years later it has become my goto image editor. I own Affinity Photo, Pixelmator, and Photoshop (CS6) but I still find myself launching Acorn for quick edits as it has all the tools I need. The image editor for humans. More info download.

I've used Photoshop for eleven years. I use it mostly for design, but also for touching up photos, editing screenshots, and so on. Any image editor I might use either has to replace Photoshop entirely, or carve out its own space. Acorn does the latter.
For me, Acorn is not a complete replacement for Photoshop, but I don't think that's the intent. It's an image editing tool that happens overlap with some of the things Photoshop is designed for. It takes just a second or two longer to launch than Preview, but is far more complete. I've been using it for quick editing tasks.
I was surprised when I first launched Acorn and saw a source list in a palette (a 'source list' being the iTunes/Mail/Finder-style sidebar). At first, this seemed really out of place, but then it started to sink in that this actually works for what Acorn sets out to do.
This interface succeeds because of two factors: the display is remarkably compact and the conventions are familiar. The entire user interface fits into a single palette. There are subtle animations when switching tools, and many Photoshop shortcuts are intact. For example, the 'm' key activates the marquee tool, and 'x' swaps the foreground and background colors.
All of the standard bitmap editing tools are present, as are all of the filters provided by Core Image. Basic vector shapes are provided and are true vectors in that they remain editable. Plugins can be written in Python and Objective-C. A full screen mode is available, as well.
The filter user interface is surprisingly sophisticated. The dialog for each filter is displayed as a stack, to which you can add new filters on the fly.

The interface for adding a filter to this stack is similarly well-designed. A list of Core Image categories is displayed along with a live preview view. Although not a drastic departure from other implementatons, the overall experience is possibly the cleanest, most clear version of the concept that I've seen so far.
Acorn is not all things to all people, but it misses nothing essential. It's clear that this is a true Mac app with all of the key conventions and behaviors in place.
At $39 and 14.3MB (a fraction of Photoshop in both cases), Acorn will handle almost all of the needs of at least 70% of the population. An added bonus is that you're giving money to a developer who really cares about writing good, solid, Mac-specific software.
In fact, if you have a friend who is coming to the Mac from another platform who is looking for a good, solid image editor for day-to-day tasks, this is probably the one you want to recommend. It's not for high-end needs, but it's unlikely anybody in that category would be asking in the first place.
Now all of that said, an alternate review goes like this:
Acorn is first working example of what I would consider a programmer's image editor. It has a very 'objecty' feel to it — sort of what might happen if Interface Builder was reincarnated as a bitmap tool. If you feel more at home in an IDE than Photoshop, I think you will probably like Acorn.

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. Adobe photoshop cc 2020 21 0 25.

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. Script debugger 7 0 – applescript authoring environment download.

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.

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. Apple keyboard with trackpad.

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.

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).

Fixed an issue where Acorn would remove any extended attributes when saving a file.
