MAULRAT  I really do like this program and I use it quite often ... that being said, I'm still using version 1 (1.0.5 to be exact) because the output from version 2 has (and still is) always been blurry to me compared to version 1 ... I don't understand why the image should be blurred when these "filters" are basically edge filters ... I believe this problem was supposed to be fixed in earlier versions but I'm just not seeing it.If the dev reads these feedbacks and is interested I'd be glad to provide some side by side comparisons.  
(Version 2.1.8)

SJSW  Often it's not about "how much" an app can do, but rather how well it does what it does, how fast it does what it does, and how easy it does what it does. In all three cases Picturesque is primo and IMHO has no equal (and I own many apps of this kind). As a Web Designer/Developer this is an indispensable tool. Highly recommended.  
(Version 2.1.5)

JOHNSMITH  Great app, definitely deserved the ADA!  
(Version 2.1.4)

LEPPE  @The Developer:

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.

SUM1  Sorry but this little program is useless with these limited features. I got stuck with it in a bundle. Nice efforts though but not worth the price.  
(Version 2.1.3)

THOMASINA  This app is a five-trick wonder with very little creative scope. A utility more than an app, really, as any precise cropping or resizing is best done elsewhere. It looks very beautiful and is fine as far as it goes, but $35 for a something that does so little is a bit steep.  
(Version 2.1.3)

TSANTEE  I was impressed with version 1 but it didn't have enough going on to get me to buy a license. I'm pleased they have added to Picturesque so I bought the version 2 license. It is a snap to use and very elegant. I'd like the cropping feature to allow specific measurements so I won't be using it for cropping. Reflections with the 3D tilt don't look right to me so I probably won't use them together. Otherwise it's easy, fun, creative and fast.

MACOSXPC.COM  This app is just one other reason of loving your Macs! Beautiful, efficient and again, beautiful! ;)

MACINTOSH SAUCE  I just want to tell everyone here my experience with this company.

Quite a while ago, I purchased Picturesque 1.0 when they were offering lifetime free upgrades for a small additional fee (quite reasonable actually).

Yesterday, I accidentally purchased an upgrade to Picturesque 2.0 for $12.95. I had completely forgot that I was going to get a free upgrade. This morning, in my e-mail, there was a free upgrade serial number. :)

Just a while ago, I e-mailed Zac and he promptly refunded the accidental upgrade purchase through PayPal.

When companies act like this one, that tells me they actually care about their customers. I wish more companies were like this...  
(Version 2.0)

K0GG  A change of heart all round. Mr Cohan and Acqualia have given free upgrades to people who purchased after April 1st, 2008, including MacZot buyers.

Thank you for this.  
(Version 2.0)

PATOCHE  Woauw what a good app you did there ! now with the batch process, the effects, I like it a lot and use it for my web sites.

What would be good is to have an ftp included ala ImageWell to upload the results at the end directly.

Could you do this in a future update ?

Just bought a licence.

DANWAY  What? $34.95 for this? No way! Maybe for $9.95. Mediocre at best, save your money and buy a real image editor.  
(Version 2.0)

ZAC  We're sending out an email to everyone who purchased Picturesque within the last month, including MacZOT buyers. Don't worry, we'll look after you. Hold tight.   
(Version 2.0)

K0GG  I would never have bought at MacZot had I known that version 1.04 would jump to version 2.0, 12 days later and required another $12.95 for the upgrade.

It should state clearly on the auto-update dialog that this is a paid-for upgrade.

I will not trade with Zac Cohan or acqualia.com again. I don't like being cheated.  
(Version 2.0)

HENDO  Looks like an awesome program! :)  
(Version 2.0)

JAHARMI  I find this application to be a decent competitor to others like ImageWell, but its apparent lack of resizing and cropping features — if they’re there, I couldn’t find them — is a showstopper for me. Otherwise, its feature set is very close to what I’d want for quick graphics I post to the Web.

What I’m getting at is that Picturesque shows promise but it’s not great yet.  
(Version 1.0.3)

TARIK74  How about some add-ons lets say export function to iphoto or even and uploader to flickr?

then I would consider buying it  
(Version 1.0.3)

HURZ  Really nice and straightforward app. Too bad that I build some scripts a few days ago to do (nearly) the same thing in PS… ;-)

Would be good to have little fields to put values in in addition to the sliders…  
(Version 1.0)

UNCLEMIF  Super Application!

Really amazing!

Images batch processing is faster than Photohop.

Picturesque is application for everyone Web-master!

Very useful and fast. Cool customizable graphics effects. Pretty User Interface with animation!

Really clipboard, Drag&Drop support.

Low price for this kind of Pro-apps.

Have a nice day!
