I bought this as part of a bundle less than a year ago.
I updated it to the latest version and it then insisted that my serial number was "widely distributed" (whatever that actually means) and now will not launch.
I've sent them three emails over the last two months pleading for them to tell me how get their app working again, and they have sent me no response, not even an acknowledgement that they've received my emails.
At this point I'd say don't waste your money. If it fails, you're SOL.

I am going to miss the AppleScript portion of the app, however. I had hoped that the script dictionary might be enhanced rather than removed. Are there plans to bring that portion of Picturesque back in the near future.

i say if you're gonna do batch, do batch all the way.
in the mean time, i found this guy ported phatch to the mac. it's a linux fave and it's highly configurable (yet a bit complicated). since it doesn't support a preview function, you have to do some trial and error before you come up with some good presets.

Also, it would be cool if the batch resize feature could also cut pictures to preserve a certain aspect ratio (and if the cut should be made on all sides, or from a certain direction). I'm sure you get the idea.
Also, when adding borders, maybe the value should be in percent (optionally), as the final result if up/downsized considerably, does not represent the the preview as it is now. a 40 pixel border is quite much on a 320 pixels wide thumb, while not as much on the fullsize preview if you get what i'm saying.
Keep up the good work though.
I am glad version one works in Snow Leopard. The developer has been unresponsive about this issue as I had called it to their attention many months ago and a new update was just very recently released without any fix.

There is a small bug.
-When you do a Cmd I from the program the version number says 2.1.1?
But when you launch the program and you select "About Picturesque" the version number is 2.1.3?
I believe 2.1.3 is the correct version number ;) but this possible could confuse some people when they browse the Finder searching for the most recent version.
About the program self: 5 stars!
Great price/value, very stable, regular updates with new functions and improvements, etc.
With regards,
Leppe
One more thing: the Dutch translation is not very "OS X like" and contains also some small typo's.
