Acorn 6 0 3 – Bitmap Image Editor

For years Adobe Photoshop was my image editor. I used it on a Windows PC. Then switched to the Mac version. Now my first choice image editor is Flying Meat's Acorn 6.

Acorn only runs on a Mac. Last week the software updated from version 5 to 6. The upgrade brings a raft of new features, improvements and bug fixes.

• Acorn is a raster graphic editor for macOS developed by August Mueller of Flying Meat Inc, based out of Mukilteo, Washington, United States. Acorn was first released on September 10, 2007 and was built upon the framework of a previous image editing application of Flying Meat Inc., FlySketch. Acorn makes extensive use of Apple's Core Image framework for its image processing.

Photoshop is a heavyweight image editor in every sense of the word. It has a vast array of features.

Designers and other professionals love its power. So do hardware makers. Photoshop chews through computing resources. You need a powerful processor and lots of ram to make it work. Even then it can be slow.

Acorn 6 compared to Photoshop

Acorn is the polar opposite. It has fewer features. Relative to Photoshop, it sips resources.

I found Acorn when I moved to a MacBook Air . Photoshop runs on the Air, but it isn't pretty. After asking around I found and purchased Acorn 5. I wish I had found Acorn earlier.

While there is power in Photoshop, I only ever scratched the surface of the software.

As a journalist, my image processing is cropping and tweaking to make pictures clearer. Often that's simple. It means applying filters or adjusting colours and contrast.

On the rare occasion I want to do more, Photoshop's steep learning curve is, well, steep.

It means struggling for a few minutes. Then giving up by reverting to a less ambitious plan B. If the job has enough budget, then a professional can do the job.

Which meant I wasn't getting value out of Photoshop.

The cheapest way to buy Photoshop is to pay a little over NZ$30 a month for a subscription.

At the time of writing you can buy Acorn 6 outright for about three weeks' Photoshop. There is a limited-time US$15 promotion. When the price returns to US$30, Acorn 6 will still cost less than two months of Photoshop.

Everyday image editing

Windows Bitmap Editor

I use Acorn 6 every day. While I still only scratch the surface of the software, going deeper is less time consuming. It's less daunting. Flying Meat software provides all the online help and tutorials you might need to solve problems.

The software never pushes against the resource limits of my MacBook Air. Acorn is snappy all the time, no matter what you throw at it. OK, that might not be the case if you try something heroic. That's not somewhere I go.

I've yet to find any image editing task that I want to do, but can't. If there's something tricky and there's a budget, I'll still hire a pro to do the work with Photoshop.

Knowing when to walk away from time-wasting is a useful life skill for a freelance. So is knowing when to buy a low-joule image editing application.

3.7.1 Drawing the Image

Free Bitmap Editor

You create the bitmap image with a paint tool. This tool is host-system dependent, as are the images it creates. Under Microsoft Windows, you can use the Paint program that is bundled with Windows. For most bitmap buttons, you will want to use the zoom mode of the paint program to make it easier to adjust the individual pixels.

You create your bitmap as a strip that contains one or more bitmap button faces. For example, the following bitmap image contains 15 button faces:

You can use more than one bitmap image strip in your program; however, the runtime is more efficient when it pulls multiple images from the same strip. In addition, it is usually more convenient to store multiple images in a single file rather than several small files. Note that all images in a particular strip must be the same size.

When you design the image, the first thing you need to do is to settle on the size of the image. The default size under Windows is 15 pixels high by 16 pixels wide. However, you can use any size you want. Note that the bitmap size is the size of the button's image. To accommodate the button's border, the actual button will be somewhat larger. Under Windows, eight pixels are added to the width and seven pixels are added to the height (so the default button size is 24 pixels wide by 22 pixels high). References design 2 3 8 ball. The first thing you should do in the bitmap editor is set the dimensions of the bitmap to the desired size. For example, a strip of six default-size buttons would have an image size 15 pixels high by 96 pixels wide (6 * 16 = 96).

When you draw a strip that contains multiple images, make sure that each image starts on a boundary that is a multiple of the image size. In the default case, your images should start at offset 0, 16, 32, etc. (i.e., pixel numbers 1, 17, 33, etc.).

Under Windows, certain colors that you use in the bitmap will be mapped to colors chosen by the user in the Control Panel. This mapping allows you to create buttons that will have the same color scheme as the text-labeled buttons on the screen. The following table names the bitmap colors that are translated, as well as their RGB (red, green, blue) values and the system color that they are translated to.

None of the other colors is translated.

It is best to use light gray as your primary background color. This color ensures that the button's edges (which are supplied by the runtime) blend in correctly.

Once you have finished creating the bitmap, save it as a file. Under Windows, 'you may use files in JPG format as well as BMP. Perfectly clear complete. Once loaded, JPG files can be used in any context that BMP files may be used with no code changes. The recognizable extensions for JPG files are 'JPE', 'JPEG', and 'JPG'.
