Be nice if someone revealed how it isolates the item to be colored from the background. If it's simply a magic wand type tool then it may have no advantage over Photoshop and others. If it's cleverer than that, be good to know.

I'd spent time trying to find a compact, powerful, trim text editor to leave open all the time for various uses. Thought I'd improve on TextEdit. The conclusion from all the searching (and greater familiarity with TextEdit) is that TextEdit may be the best choice. It's unassuming but IMO smart.

Today, Text Edit Plus sounded promising. Downloaded & tried it with an arbitrary test. I copied a webpage column (with images, text, etc.) and pasted into both TE and TEP. TE showed all the items. TEP just showed the text.

Wouldn't begin to judge TEP on this one feature. But since I use that feature, maybe I should stay with TE. Mentioning it here because there's likely more going on than I realize.

Tried 5X over 2 installs to activate the demo in the beta offered above. App "not responding" each time. Force quit.

That plus the Aquafadas website erroring-out when I tried to send them an email makes me wonder if all is not well there.

So if I bought a Pixelmator 1 license earlier this year at Amazon, and would like v2, I need to buy v2 at the Mac App Store? There's no separate upgrade path? Right?

I liked that it would arbitrarily assign pix to the various frames. More than once if wanted. I liked that I could drag any pic to any frame to revise. Then I really liked when I found I could delete a problem frame and *easily* resize the frames around it to preserve design integrity.

The only thing I haven't discovered yet (could be missing; could be me) is the capability of giving different croppings to the pix. Move l-r/up-down and zoom in/out. So I go back to the pic file and edit there. If I recall, Posterino either auto reflects my changes or I drag the photo in again. Either way, it's not hard.

I'm *fond* of this app. And my church likes the collage I made.
