“Image editing made simple”

The developers of Acorn are right, this is a very simple image editor. All the tools are available from a floating window while your canvas can be easily set to full screen. Acorn doesn't over complicate things and gives you the essential functions to edit images like shapes, text, drawing or gradient. Layers are really easy to add or remove thanks to the plus and the minus buttons at the bottom of the interface. Strokes in Acorn are also incredibly sensible to the pressure you apply to them.

The real drawback to Acorn is its strength. Professionals will be left frustrated by the limited number of tools and effects. However, it's obvious that this application is aimed at users looking for a simple image editor fitted with all the essentials. Thanks to a well structured interface and a good set of tools, Acorn offers all you need to edit your photos.
