Rec: LiveQuartz
Jan. 11th, 2011 12:22 pmMy very first Mac App Store rec is Romain Piveteau's LiveQuartz, a simple and elegant image editor. It features all the basic image-manipulation verbs you'd expect, as well as support for layers and filters, and its UI is very polished and pleasant to work with. I used LiveQuartz to create most of the images used in my various Gameshelf essays and videos over the last couple of years.
Its brand-new App Store version costs 99 cents this week, after which it inflates to its usual $10 price. In either case, Piveteau says that all future updates will be free to paid users. If you, like me, are a Mac user with an occasional need to edit 2D images using only the most common 5 percent of Photoshop's (or GIMP's) enormous featureset, then this would be a wise investment of a dollar for you.
