I am very pleased to announce the release of Iris 1.0, an all-new image editor for Mac OS X.

Iris has been created for previously overlooked Mac users who simply wanted an accessible and easy to use image program that provides professional results, without the professional price tag.

Iris takes a different approach to traditional image editors like Photoshop. Instead of spewing confusing palettes everywhere Iris presents everything in an elegant one-window interface.

Iris requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later. Mac OS X 10.5.3 is strongly recommended.

You can download a free trial of Iris 1.0 here.

Interarchy 8.5.4 is now available.

8.5.4 is primarily a maintenance release that addresses a few minor issues with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

Interarchy 8.5.4 is available free of charge to all registered Interarchy 8 customers. Registered customers of Interarchy 7 or earlier can upgrade via the Nolobe Store.

Onward to Interarchy 9 and Iris 1.0!

We are very excited to pre-announce Iris - the ultimate image editor for Mac OS X. Iris has the power of Photoshop but with an easy to use, intuitive interface. Not only that you won’t need to take a second mortgage out on your house to purchase Iris.

Iris requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. A release date hasn’t been set yet but it will be released shortly after Leopard.
