For far too long I&#8217;ve been dragging around Photoshop 7, simply because I know I can use it to quickly do what I want. But what I need to do is limited. I want to resize and scale photos, add text (watermarks) to them and maybe overlay one or two. Maybe take a PDF and rasterize it to a thumbnail. I deal a lot with screenshots and adding hi-lights to them is about the most complicated task I ever need to do.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve looked at the Gimp for OSX and recently Acorn (which seems totally alien to me- couldn&#8217;t get it to do the most basic things) and have been frustrated, till today. Banging away at google I hit upon <a href=\"http:\/\/xtralean.com\/IWOverview.html\">Imagewell<\/a>. The people at XtraLean put this app out, and it is exactly what I was looking for (and it works fine in Leopard). It has a crazy price (free for basic stuff- and what it does for free is amazing) and is only $20 bucks to unlock the more advanced features.<\/p>\n<p>It easily passed my acid test- I was able to download it without a bunch of questions and i could use it right away. I pulled in a PDF and was able to quickly resize it to the size I needed and save it out as a png. Very easy and intutive. Intrigued, I went back to their site and looked around the Forums and stumbled across their concise and short <a href=\"http:\/\/xtralean.com\/IWManual3\/index.html\">screen casts<\/a>, which quickly illustrate the cool things you can do with this app. I think I&#8217;ll buy this one and can leave Photoshop 7 to finally wither away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been in search of a quick, simple and modern image editor for the Mac.
