Apple’s Mac OS X 10.7 Lion comes to market without the Rosetta PPC emulation layer, so Photoshop CS2 had to get out of my Applications folder. Thereupon, Acorn’s well-balanced offering of features, familiarity and price made it my first choice and time has borne out the rightness of that choice.

FlyingMeat, the Mac software developer with the leaping deer logo, has updated their popular Photoshop replacement. Acorn 3.0.3 (release notes) is now available and comes to market bearing a trio of bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug where using the dictionary shortcut key would make Acorn take a screenshot
• Fixed a bug where there layers list would sometimes disappear
• Fixed a bug where sub layers of groups were sometimes not indented correctly

You can get a 15-day Acorn 3 demo here. A licensed copy of the app can be purchased on the Mac App Store ($49.99) — you’ll get future updates automagically.
