CASTLE  It's too hard to give your application a name that's not already in use?  (Version 1.0)

MANFRED BERGMANN  I like the UI.

But Iris still has a lot of problems. In contrast to my former poster I don't think a version 1.0 should have so many issues.

Gradient fill didn't work for me at all on small images.

Cursor symbol is not correct on some operations.

Colors cannot be saved.

It also is still quite unstable. I had one crash in 5 minutes of playing around.

No support page/forum, nothing for Iris.

I really hope that many things will be improved real soon for all the people that bought a copy.  (Version 1.0)

MISHIMO  Great, polished, intuitive application. It feels just right, although there's room for improvements.  (Version 1.0)

PIXELJUNKEY  In testing this app, I found crashers when applying filters to single layer JPEGs, and also found inoperative or incomplete features. Example: the color picker has no option for pixel values and does not work with the HSB color mode.

For $79 the application should be a lot more polished than this IMO. I like the idea of putting core editing tools inside an Aperture-like UI (much better concept than Pixelmator which is a total mess of a UI), but it's only half-baked IMO.  (Version 1.0)
