Acorn 8 for macOS debuts machine learning tools for a limited-time $19.99
While I’m primarily a Linux user, when I use macOS on my Mac mini, Acorn is my go-to image editor. It’s a great value from an independent developer and has just gotten even better with the release of Acorn 8. This update is packed with major upgrades, and best of all, it’s on sale for a limited time for $19.99, maintaining its one-time purchase model. Yes, folks, you read that right -- Acorn still isn’t subscription-based. Very nice!
One of the most exciting additions is a set of tools that harness machine learning. The new “Select Subject” and “Mask Subject” commands automatically identify and isolate the primary focus in an image, while “Remove Background” eliminates backgrounds without adding a layer mask. These features make it easier than ever to clean up and enhance photos.
