I like Photoshop, I use it just about everyday. It’s running a little slower these days on my G5 iMac, but it gets the job done. However, sometimes there are applications that come along and get the job done without the extra fuss. Picturesque, by Acqualia, is one of those applications. It’s easy, beautiful, and just upgraded to version 2.
Picturesque makes easy work of rounded corners, shadows, reflections, strokes, and now rotations and tilts. It’s perfect for styling images for the web, or to provide a little something extra to thumbnails. I used version 1 extensively on images I took for StylingSalon.com last year.
Here’s a small gallery of what version 2.0 can do.
