Image Tricks, freeware image editor
BeLight has introduced a new image editor for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger users. It's called Image Tricks and it does have quite a few tricks up its sleeve, considering it's free. Image Tricks utilizes Tiger's Core Image
filters for editing, manipulating and applying various effects to your photos. To use it, you just drop an image on the "well" and choose an effect or command from the list on the left side. If your image is stored in iPhoto, you can even drag and drop the thumbnail from your iPhoto library window. You can crop, color, stylize, distort, blur... and perform numerous other modifications to your pics. If you use any of BeLight's other programs, you'll also appreciate the integrated plugins that Image Tricks installs for them.Since it relies on Core Image, you'll need Mac OS X 10.4 or later to use it. I've been playing with it for a little while this morning, and I must say it does a darn good job for FREE.

It works on my ibook with the ATI 9200 series card. Of course I think the effects and filters are applied by the cpu. Well, applying the effects were not so responsive but still okay!

But I did check out Swift Publisher and BusinessCard Composer from BeLight and I am very impressed with them. Very nifty indeed! Is it just me, or does there seem to be a sudden influx of high quality, low cost, applications for the Mac?
