Features and Highlights
Shape Processor
Shape processors are filters for shape layers that allow you to move, tweak, generate, and adjust shapes. Best of all, the shape processors are non-destructible and stackable just like Acorn’s filters.
Circle Text Tool
Quickly and easily place your text on a circle to create logos and other useful text designs. Modify your text with on-canvas controls for circle radius, rotation, and inversion. Use the baseline and kerning sliders to get things looking just right.
Photoshop Brush Import
The app will now import Photoshop brush files (.abr). Just drag and drop the Photoshop brush file onto the tool to import and make new brushes.
Improved Crop
Trim out parts of your image and even rotate your image while you crop to make the perfect scene. You can even use the crop tool to quickly increase the size of your canvas.
Non-Destructive Levels and Curves
Levels and Curves have joined all the other non-destructive filters in the tool. You can use Levels and Curves on both bitmap and shape layers, and even save your Curves as a preset for quick editing in the future.
New Filters and Blend Modes
Pin Light and Mask are two of the newest blending modes Acorn for macOS has to offer. The app also has new filters including Offset, Redraw, and Remove Color Cast, as well as additional options for using filters on selections.
Soft Brushes for Clone, Burn, Etc
The Clone, Paint, Smudge, Dodge, Burn, and other tools that work on pixels now have their own super configurable brushes with the tool’s awesome brush designer. Now you can have scattered for the Clone tool, or adjust flow and softness for the Burn tool. The options are endless.
Snapping
Use the app’s snapping to line things up perfectly. Snap to grid, guides, selections, shapes, layers, and the canvas.
Hundreds of Little Improvements
PDF import options, editable Exif data, Bézier, and star shape tool improvements to name only a few. It all adds up to make the app even nicer.
Note: 14 days trial version. Requires 64-bit processor.
