Image Editor For Mac

With a more than self-explanatory name, Image Editor is a straightforward and user-friendly OS X photo editor that comes with a minimal set of editing tools.

Despite its straightforwardness, Image Editor may surprise you a bit, as it supports multiple layer editing and alpha channel editing, features found in other, more powerful, photo editors out there.

This means that you can easily apply any number of layers to your photos, merge them with different effects and individually edit their channels. Transparency effects and transparency gradients are also something to be noteworthy when it comes to Image Editor.

What’s more, Image Editor bundles gradients, textures and anti-aliasing for text and brush strokes, and a very useful text tool. You will also be quite pleased to hear that Image Editor comes with full support for XCF file format and can edit TIFF, PNG, JPEG and JPEG files.

You can use Image Editor as a photo viewer if you like, because it makes it possible for you to  view BMP, PDF, PICT, and XBM file formats.

Working with Image Editor is also, a straightforward process thanks to an interface that is quite spartan and by no means comparable with the interfaces of more powerful and well-known photo editors on the market.

You get an all-encompassing top toolbar with all the tools you need for basic photo editing, a layer panel on the left side of its main window, and an editing panel on the right, nothing more, nothing less.

Despite its simplicity, Image Editor can be a capable photo editing tool in the right hands. With a minimal interface and basic editing features, this is an application that is ideally suited for OS X users that don’t have a solid graphic-editing background or that simply need to quickly fix something on a photo.
