User Feedback

• After playing with Image Tricks a bit I'm really astounded at how much faster seems to be compared to Photoshop.
Doug, IT user

• Iintegrates with iPhoto, and looks like it supports most of the common features you're likely to want.
Digital Shot magazine

• Awesome free image app, seriously just what I was looking for.
Rich for MacUpdate

• It's real power lies in its integration with Swift Publisher and other BeLight software programs. No problems, so far.
Ghostlexx for Version Tracker

• Very good easy to use tool. Not sure why a standalone installer is necessary, but works well and is free!
Landi

• I have to agree it's a very nifty little app I going to have some fun with this, saves me having to open up photoshop. All the better for being free.
