Comments and Reviews
This is the Paint.NET replacement for macOS I've been looking for!
This application is a joy to use. In my book it is by far the best image editing application for macOS. Very intuitive and well-designed.
Definitely my go to app for fast startup, and feature rich image editing, without being overwhelmed.
Really does everything you probably will need unless it's some advanced Photoshop function.
Regularly updated by a dedicated Mac only family development team.
This is not some crappy port of a half baked Windows or Linux Qt program that doesn't follow the macOS UI standards.
Have been using this app for years. No subscriptions, great value, and thoroughly recommended.

Wow, this thing is the sh1t. I have been using open source seashore and livequartz, but really they both lack. Acorn seems to have it all, is familiar to photoshop users, even many similar keyboard shortcuts. It is very intuitive, just works how you think it should, little thought involved.
There is now a free version of Acorn, that you can use for forever. Some advanced features are missing in the free, though you get to try them for 14 days. What an awesome way to sell your product, while also providing a free resource to the world.
Get this if looking for a mac image editor less burdonsome than photoshop, but still capable.
Much more useful to me than Photoshop or Gimp because I can actually figure out how to use Acorn. This is the image editor for non-professionals.
