About
Acorn sits between a screenshot annotator and Photoshop: layers, filters, curves, vector shapes and text, without a subscription or a two-week learning curve. It opens what you throw at it, including PSD files, and exports sensibly. It is the image editor for people who occasionally need a real one.
