Review: PhotoSweeper (Mac)

If you have a hard drive full of pictures you probably know that they can easily take up a fair amount of space.  Aside from taking up space, having thousands and thousands (or more) of images can also make it more difficult to sort and organize your collections.  Even if… Continue reading

Review: Stacks 2 (RapidWeaver Plug-in)

One of the most popular reviews on TheAppNews last year was the review of RapidWeaver 5 from Realmac Software.  RapidWeaver is an app that lets you create and publish websites from a variety of templates with lots of customizations options.  One point I made during the review was how extensible… Continue reading

Review: Cartoonatic+ for iOS

Cartoonatic+ is another app in the MacPhun lineup for iOS.  As the name implies, this app lets you take images and videos and apply cartoon-like image effects.  The image effects can be browsed and applied while using the camera so you know instantly what it will look like, or apply… Continue reading

Review: Snapheal for Mac

Snapheal is a new app from the developers of the popular FX Photo Studio and Color Splash Studio.  MacPhun has done a phenomenal job at bringing affordable and high-quality image apps to the Mac, and their newest addition is Snapheal.  Snapheal brings several healing and adjustment capabilities for… Continue reading

Review: Norton Internet Security 2012

I was really happy for the chance to review Norton Internet Security 2012 for several reasons.  Norton was probably the very first anti-virus software I ever really used.  Over the years I switched between applications, and I’ll be honest, I didn’t care much for how the resource usage grew and… Continue reading

Review: Gps4cam for iOS

I was thinking about purchasing a GPS unit for my DSLR to geotag images I take.  Most of these aren’t cheap so I did a bit of research and found a few iOS apps that helped you geotag images.  Geotagging is basically embedding GPS coordinates in your image file so… Continue reading

Review: Color Splash Studio

Color Splash Studio is a new app in the MacPhun photo effect/editing lineup, and it’s another fine addition.  They have been creating some fantastic image apps for the Mac, and I think this one might be my favorite so far.  You have probably seen selective colors images before, it’s a… Continue reading

Review: Milo from Bluelounge

If you are a regular reader of TheAppNews you might find the name Bluelounge familiar.  I did a review several months ago on their CableDrops which are awesome at helping manage and place cables on your desk or anywhere else really.  I really like the Bluelounge products because they are… Continue reading
