Acorn

Acorn is a new image editor built with one goal in mind - simplicity. Fast, easy, and fluid, Acorn provides the options you'll need without any overhead. Acorn feels right, and won't drain your bank account.

• Take screenshots using Acorn and edit them right away.
• Chain together image filters to create stunning effects.
• Layer based image editing, an industry standard.
• Make new images and layers using your built-in iSight.
• Easy image and canvas resizing, just by changing the size of your window.
• Take advantage of every pixel of your monitor with full screen image editing.
• Tablet sensitive for pressure strokes and using the tablet's eraser.
• Vector shape and text layers.
• Freeform, elliptical, rectangular, and magic wand selections.
• Gradients.
• Create and apply custom text styles.
• Control opacity and blending modes for each layer.
• Write plugins using the Python scripting language, as well as in Objective-C.
• GPU powered. The same graphics card that makes your gaming experience smooth, helps Acorn fly through the toughest of graphics operations.

Fixes

• Fixed blurry icons on 1x displays.
• Fixed some drawing issues when moving selections at ~87% zoom.
• Fixed cases where Acorn could crash on 10.11.
• Fixed a bug where editing text with the Typography palette out could cause a crash.
• Fixed a problem with the Scale and Rotate command which could clip selections on the right edge by a couple of pixels under certain circumstances.
• Reduced the amount of canvas flickering when using the Crop tool.

Changes

• Defaulting to OpenGL for Macs who have various NVIDIA GeForce GT* GPUs (Metal proved to be a little to crashy on 10.13 for those Macs).
• New hidden pref to keep Acorn from including the Touch Bar when taking screenshots; copy and paste the following command into Terminal:defaults write com.flyingmeat.Acorn6 noCaputeTouchBar 1
