ImageWell 3.5 is available

I love XtraLean Software's ImageWell. In fact, nearly every image I post to TUAW has been edited with ImageWell (we've written about it several times). I think it's the perfect application for when something like Photoshop is overkill. That quick crop, resize, border, etc. can be done in a flash with ImageWell.

Version 3.5 became available this week, with a slew of great new features, including
  • New sharpness filter
  • Two new shapes
  • The return key now executes a crop (Yay!)
  • Other minor fixes
There's more, of course, and you can get the full run-down here. Among the recent influx of quick-and-dirty image manipulation software, ImageWell is a gem.

ImageWell requires Mac OS 10.3.9. Note that version 3.5 will now cost you $19.95US for a single license. Previously, a free version was available as well as a moderately priced "Xtras Pack." This version includes all of the extras and is free for current paid users (A seven-day free trial is available for everyone else). As the day-to-day workhorse it has been for me over the years, twenty bucks is a bargain.

The version 2 was awesome, been using it all the time when still I had my PowerBook G4, but since 3 came out, it's disaster. Skitch kinda replaced it...

A lot of these features can also be done with the built-in Preview in Leopard.

It's an odd little program. Its almost completely nonstandard interface takes some getting used to. I'm glad I got it when it was free.

I totally agree. Quirky little app with a bizzarro UI that has me stumbling over it every time I use it which is only like once a month.

I only use it for resizing images because it takes Photoshop so freaking long to load. Then again, I end up wasting that time re-learning ImageWell's UI anyway... Argh!
