Acorn's Latest Features & Improvements
Version 5.4 brought improvements to how Acorn handles color profiles when sending an image to the screen, as well as when converting between profiles. So if you're putting your images up on the web, these things are super important for you. And doubly so if you have a recent iMac with the DP-3 wide gamut display since you have more colors to play with than you did on your last Mac. Even the newly announced iPhone 7 takes wide gamut pictures now! Rest assured, Acorn's color management has you covered.
Acorn 5.5 took the color improvements even further with a new and improved color picker. Acorn's color picker effortlessly picks out colors from anywhere on your screen. In addition, it makes sure that when the colors are sent to Acorn, they are massaged to the right values for the color profile in your image.
MacOS 10.12 Sierra Compatibility
As some of you might be aware, Apple's yearly macOS update is just around the corner. We've got great news - we're putting the final touches on Acorn 5.5.2 and we'll have it out for everyone by September 20th when Sierra goes out to you.
