Flying Meat Acorn 5.6 Build 11592 Mac OS X

Acorn is a new image editor built with one goal in mind - simplicity. Fast, easy, and fluid, Acorn provides the options you'll need without any overhead. Acorn feels right, and won't drain your bank account.

Shape Processor
Shape processors are filters for shape layers which 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
Acorn will now import Photoshop brush files (.abr). Just drag and drop the Photoshop brush file onto Acorn 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 Acorn. 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 has to offer. Acorn 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 Acorn’s awesome brush designer. Now you can have scatter for the Clone tool, or adjust flow and softness for the Burn tool. The options are endless.

Snapping
Use Acorn’s snapping to line things up perfectly. Snap to grid, guides, selections, shapes, layers, and the canvas.

Powerful Image Editing
Use non-destructive curves, levels, and filters. Add layer masks and selections to touch up your images or make something entirely

Vector Tools
Stars, arrows, Bézier curves, boolean operations, and text tools are just a few of the vector features awaiting you.

Custom Brushes & More
Acorn includes a built-in brush designer, multi-stop gradients, web export, retina canvas support, and is scriptable and automatable.

Speed
Acorn 5 is a lot faster than its predecessors. From applying selections and filters to large images to using Instant Alpha, everything is faster.

Non-Destructive Filters
Acorn merges layer styles and filters together into one happy UI. Combine filters together to create endless combinations of unique effects knowing you can always change your mind later on. Customize your own presets and use the on-canvas controls to get things looking just right.

Curves
Adjust the tonal response and even the individual color channels to perfect the mid-tones, shadows, highlights, and contrast in your images. Create presets to quickly make the adjustments you need.

Raw Image Import
You have a nice camera, but you also need a nice app to import your high resolution images. Acorn is that app. And if your SLR supports more than 8 bits per component, Acorn has you covered as well. Import your images as 32, 64, or even 128 bit images.

Boolean Shape Operations
Union, intersect, difference, and exclude. Perform boolean operations with multiple shapes to make complex vectors in your images.

Photo Effects
Tilt shift, vignette, drop shadow, sharpening, distortions, blurs and over a hundred more. With Acorn’s filter panel, adding effects to your images has never been so easy.

Shape Tools
Stars, arrows, and a Bézier anchor selection tool await you in Acorn 5. Modify the points of a star to create triangles, diamonds, and other variations! Rotate your text and shapes upside down and every which way. You’ve got it in Acorn.

PSD Import and Export
Acorn offers support for loading PSD images, and for exporting your images as layered Photoshop files.

Retina Canvas
Acorn has native support for Apple’s Retina displays. Your pictures will look absolutely stunning on your Retina MacBook Pro.

Text Tool
Acorn gives you control over your text in an easy-to-use interface. Everything is in the text palette from bold and italic to kerning and ligatures. There’s even spell check.

Clone, Dodge, Burn, & Smudge
Use traditional photography techniques such as dodge and burn to highlight and darken your images. Acorn’s customizable clone, blur, and smudge brushes will have your photos looking great.

Instant Alpha
Powerful eraser tools like Instant Alpha make removing photo backgrounds and other unwanted pixels from your images both fast and fun.

Multi-Stop Live Gradients
Are two color gradients not enough for you? With Acorn’s multi-stop gradients, you have infinite rainbows at your fingertips.

Vector Chops
Convert text to Bézier paths, add and subtract Bézier points, and have your edges snap to pixel boundaries for precise alignment.

Web Export
Optimize and export your images as PNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, and GIF.

Create Custom Brushes
Use Acorn’s built-in brush designer to create new brushes or alter existing ones. Test your strokes out and watch them instantly update as you change the settings.

Scriptable and Automatable
Automate Acorn and perform batch image editing using Automator, AppleScript, and JavaScript. You can even write custom plugins for Acorn.

Screenshots
Acorn can create layered screenshots of every window you have open on your computer. It’s magic.

Selections
Create custom selections, invert, feather, and even add a corner radius. Or, if you’re looking to quickly select an entire color, try using the magic wand. Switch into Quickmask mode to edit your selections like never before.

Layer Masks
Use layer masks in your image to block out unwanted areas of your image or to expose layers below. Additionally Acorn 5’s Mask blend mode allows you to use your layer to clip what’s below it.
