Acorn 8.2

Flying Meat has issued Acorn 8.2 with a new pop-up that allows you to view differences and split screen between images. The image editor enables you to set the bits per component of an image on export, adds new Linear and Radial Multi-stop Gradient filters with more colors, saves the amount of feathering you apply to a selection to .acorn files (along with the current selection), adds the Command-Option-J shortcut for duplicating the currently selected shape(s), updates zoom and resize cursors for macOS 15 Sequoia and later, includes an option to save a flattened composite of each layer in .acorn files, resolves an issue where rotating the canvas when a selection was present would sometimes give unexpected results, addresses a problem where exporting text with strokes as SVG would draw the stroke and fill in the wrong order, and resolves a hang that could occur when dragging and dropping in a RAW file to Acorn’s canvas. ($29.99 new from Flying Meat and the Mac App Store, 20% discount for TidBITS members, 86.3 MB, release notes, macOS 14+)
