Hi all
If you wish to add a (free) mosaic type effect to Image Tricks 3.xx, have a look at BeLight Community website:
http://belightcommunity.free.fr/display_file.php?id=44
Here's an example of this effect with default settings:

I downloaded version 2.4.2, and when I ran the program, it no longer said "Pro Version." When I click on About Image Tricks I'm told I have version 2.4.1. When I click on "Check for Updates" I'm told I don't need to update because I have version 2.4.2.

Me thinks there's one or two more "minor bugs" to fix.

Try to move Image Tricks from your Applications folder to Trash, and then install it again. Then you will have correct version number (2.4.2).

Thanks, Andrey, it worked! Still says Image Tricks and not Image Tricks Pro, but the license seems to be fully intact. I'm now OFFICIALLY the happy owner of Ver. 2.4.2.

It seems Image Tricks Pro is out of development, without an update for the past couple of years (or 3?). I purchased the last version with high hopes to seeing more in terms of filters and UI controls, with much confidence in the BeLight name– a confidence now in question.

Install Xcode which comes with tiger installation disc. It includes Core Image Fun House.app which has all the tools. The only drawback is the size of Xcode - 2.4GB !!!

The installer is dumb. You can only install as administrator. You can choose an install-location in the installer, but it does not let you choose your homefolder, i.e. ~/Applications. This is not the way of Apple-Guide-Lines. There is no reason why a local user shouldn't be able to install this app into their homefolder only.

I've been using it for some time. It can be slow on extremely large photos, but I think it's about as fast as any other program I have ever used. This could be because my Mac is fairly old.

I love it. I think it's a great program, considering it's free.

Positives:
* excellent straightforward interface
* good number of effects

Negatives:
* unusually slow (compared to other CoreImage apps)
* no effects stacking
* no layering

Summary: Poor performance and a limited feature-set hamper what could be a powerful application.

Kills EXIF data dead! Too bad, it looks like a perfect fit for my wife to tweak her photos, but I must have EXIF data intact.

Please add a version-number to the name of the downloadable .dmg-file of Quinn.

Like "ImageTricks_1.2.0.dmg" or "ImageTricks-1.2.0.dmg" or "ImageTricks120.dmg" or "ImageTricks 1.2.0.dmg" ...

This makes it much easier to track the versions already downloaded and it is also quite handy when switching back to a previous version, in case the newest version is too buggy.

Thanks!

Simply download this latest version. If you have a license code for previous version of Image Tricks Pro, simply use it to register version 3, and unlock Pro filters and generators.

Upgrade to v.3 is free to all previous version customers.
