Acorn: The Leatherman Tool of Image Editors

The more I try out image editors Pixelmator & Acorn, the more Acorn’s simplicity and new perspective on the interface grows on me. Pixelmator is looking to be just about perfect for those people who need a Photoshop Elements style app with low overhead at a sweet price point.

Acorn, on the other hand, seems to be carving out a new niche, and developer Gus Mueller has shown in some of the details that’s he’s not trying to compete with Photoshop (or even Pixelmator), rather he’s attempting to do something new & unique. From the single, unified tools palette to the Option & Control key resizing & crop features (with the live pixel dimension display on the bottom left of the window frame) to the live brush size on the brush slider, Mueller demonstrates that he’s been using graphics software, he’s been frustrated with some things, and he’s thought of a way to make it painless, effortless and intuitive.

Once you’ve worked a bit in Acorn with some of these novel approaches to old habits, you’ll soon wonder why it was never done this way before.

The Histogram As The Image

New York City skyline in Histogram You’d probably think I was crazy if I told you this image contained the New York City skyline, but it does. You have to be a bit of a Photoshop geek to see it, but it’s there.

Head on over to Ironic Sans to see the skyline, and how it was done. It took me a couple of reads to wrap my head around this. I love this kind of stuff!

Wikipedia Goes Legit

Wikipedia Pixelmator entry screenshot I just noticed via my blog stats that I was receiving traffic from Wikipedia; turns out my blog post on the Pixelmator release is being cited as a reference on the Pixelmator Wikipedia entry in regards to criticism of the software — specifically the lack of graphics tablet pressure sensitivity.

In the post I actually mention that the Pixelmator creators have that feature on the drawing board for a future release, but I suppose it is a bit of a criticism. I still think Pixelmator is great stuff, but as a Wacom geek the pressure sensitivity is something I have come to rely on in a graphics application.
