Freeware
of the Day:
LiveQuartz
- a
powerful free image editor.
LiveQuartz is a powerful free image editor. It is based on layers and
CoreImage filters. You have the layers on the left and the filters on
the right of the window. (An alternate user interface with settings in
a drawer is also available via preferences). To edit an image, just
drag it into the window (or layers' list at the desired position) and
it will be added as a new layer.
Tools:
- The brush allows you to
paint with the
color chosen at window's top right corner and with the tool size chosen
beside.
- The duplication tool is here
to retouch
photos. To use it, you have to click on a reference point with 'alt'
key pressed and then you can click where you want to duplicate the
pixels. It uses the same tool size as the brush tool.
- The eraser tool erases an
image by
replacing it by a transparent color. It uses the same tool size as the
brush tool.
- The drawing tools are
composed of a line
tool, a stroke rectangle tool, a fill rectangle tool, a stroke oval
tool and a fill oval tool.
- The gradient tools are
composed of the
linear and the radial gradient tools (when these tools are selected, a
second color setting is available on the right of the main color
setting).
- The arrow is a very
important tool. It
moves the layer(s) or the selected area.
- The text tool is for adding
short texts.
It is possible to modify the text by changing the layer name in layers'
list at the left of the window. You can also change the font of the
newly inserted text with the button "Font" at window's top right corner.
- The spiral tool (CoreImage
tool) is for
modifying "point" parameters of filters. To be able to use it, select
the point parameter you want to modify in the filter's parameters list
(bottom right of the window).
- The selection tool is used
to crop the
image (using the "crop" button), to copy a portion of the image and to
restrict painting area and erasing area.
- The lasso is used to copy a
portion of
the image and to restrict painting area and erasing area. Its shape is
determined by dragging the mouse.
- The hand is for moving the
image viewing
area (when image does not fit entirely in the window).
- The magnifying glass is here
to zoom and
unZoom ('alt' key).
LiveQuartz is localized in English, Chinese, Danish, French, German,
Italian, Persian, Russian and Spanish. It is Universal Binary since its
first releases.
