◆ FREE UPGRADES - RETINA DISPLAY AND MOUNTAIN LION SUPPORT ◆

--- A CRASH MAY OCCUR IN THIS VERSION. A NEW VERSION IS WAITING TO BE REVIEWED BY APPLE THAT FIXES THIS CRASH ---

A simple and powerful photo editor for the Mac.

It is based on non destructive layers and filters. The layers are at the left and the filters are at the right of the window. To edit a photo, just drag it into the window (or layers’ list) and it will be added as a new layer. LiveQuartz supports Gestures (Multi-Touch) and fully supports Retina Display.

“This is a great app been using it long before the new interface and it keeps getting better…..for a smooth work flow choose Live Quartz…….” - JQdaproducer (2.1.1)

“I enjoy Mac style Apps because they make artistic sense to me. I like to have as little math, tangent calculations, and non creative tasks involved  when I am creating artwork and graphic design projects. With LiveQuartz, pencils act like pencils, and brushes brush. Actions are smooth and simple as putting a pen to paper. The layers behave magically and the various composites and photo effects are fluid and intuitive. Each time I use this program, I find new tools and combinations that help add to the fun of creating. Great program.” - Phil Seymour (2.0.3)
