• Acorn 6

If you’ve ever waited a longtime for Photoshop to load, you know it’s not the best for lightweight mac image editing. I’ve been a longterm user of Acorn 4 and 5. And, now Acorn 6 has been released.

Now my first choice image editor is Flying Meat’s Acorn 6. Acorn only runs on a Mac. Last week the software updated from version 5 to 6. The upgrade brings a raft of new features, improvements and bug fixes. Photoshop is a heavyweight image editor in every sense of the word. It has a vast array of features.

For a limited time, Acorn 6 – The Image Editor for Humans is half off at $14.95 at the MacOS App Store.

Fotor 3.6.3 (180.1) is available to all software users as a free download for Windows 10 PCs but also without a hitch on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Compatibility with this photo editor software may vary, but will generally run fine under Microsoft Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP on either a 32-bit or 64.

As a blogger and tutorial writer, I most use Acorn for fast crops and image compression.

New Features

Here’s a quick rundown on the major highlights included in Acorn 6:

Text on a Path
Text on a path has been Acorn’s most requested feature over the years. Ask and you shall receive! Text on a path is simply awesome. Create any shape you desire with one of Acorn’s vector tools, then convert it to path text and type away! Your text will follow the path you designed, with easy editing available via on-canvas controls. There is no limit to modifying the path and text, so you can edit away until things look just right. Acorn also includes circle text and boxed text, so you have multiple powerful text tools at your fingertips.

Clone Tool
Acorn 6’s enhanced clone tool offers the ability to clone across layers, images, and even to clone group or shape layers. Hold and release the shift key when cloning to have the clone tool function as a stamp tool. Acorn’s clone tool interface includes adjustable edge softness, flow, rotation, and the ability to use any brush in your brush library when cloning, even imported Photoshop brushes. With these additional new features, Acorn offers an impressive tool for designing and editing your images.

Smart Layer Export
Be sure to check out Acorn 6’s great new smart layer export palette. Smart layer export is a time saving feature similar to slicing. Adjust your layer’s export settings via a configurable palette to quickly set the file format, file name, export boundaries, and scale including 1x-5x. Smart layer export is particularly helpful if you are designing images for retina displays or iOS where you need to scale your images to keep them looking sharp. Acorn will even remember your settings for future use!

Scaling, Transforming, and Cropping
Acorn 6’s improved scaling, transforming, and cropping make fine tuning your images a breeze. With Acorn’s new unified scaling and transforming interface, you can adjust the rotation, width, height, position, scale, and even flip the layer horizontally or vertically all from within the inspector palette. And be sure to check out Acorn’s crop tool improvements. Scale your image while making a crop by locking the pixel dimensions. Use the crop tool on a single layer to easily trim off any unwanted edges.

Color Profile and Wide Gamut Improvements
Acorn 6 includes color profile and wide gamut improvements! It is now easier than ever to load and save color profiles to your image from within the Color Profile sheet. Be sure to also check out the new wide gamut previewing option in Web Export. This unique feature highlights which colors will show up when you’re saving out a wide gamut image so you know exactly how your image will change.
