The latest generation of Mac applications have really focused on the way an application looks. Developers are creating beautiful user interfaces and slick looking icons that make their apps more pleasing to look at. I appreciate the time and energy that people have put into making their apps look great.
We recommend using a virtual machine program, ideally Parallels or VMWare Fusion, to run Windows applications on a Mac without rebooting. For maximum performance, which is particularly necessary for gaming, we recommend dual-booting Windows with Boot Camp instead. A virtual machine is one of the best ways to run Windows desktop software. What is ImageWell for Mac. ImageWell is a lightweight and extensible image editor that can resize, crop, rotate your images and then send them to a location on the Internet. Annotate your images with built-in shapes, labels, arrows, plus much more. ImageWell is extensible which means more shapes, fill patterns, and locations can be added that. The only thing I am missing on the Mac now, with regards web site maintenance, is a cheap photo and graphic app like Paint Shop Pro on Windows. I have yet to find an app on the Mac yet that allows both the creation of web graphics, buttons and text and so on, AND thw ability to manipulate photos. Mac Only: ImageWell is a small application which allows to edit your images quickly. You can do all the basic editing including, resize, crop and watermark. It also allows you to annotate your images with text, shapes, arrows and lines. You can also add simple effects like drop shadow, shaped border etc.
Here's a list of 10 Mac OS X applications with really cool icons. What are your favorite OS X application icons?
AppZapper
An uninstaller application on steroids - AppZapper is not only useful, but has a killer icon.
Cyberduck
This is the only open-source FTP and SFTP application that will run on my mac. While it's not as efficient as Transmit for SFTP transfers, Cyberduck is free and has a great icon.
ImageWell
'The Handy Image Editor that will save you time and money.' ImageWell is a program that really lives up to its hype. I had my doubts about ImageWell, but find it extremely useful when I want to make a quick edit to a picture without spending the time to open Photoshop or Fireworks. Oh, and it has a great icon too!
Midnight Inbox
I had high expectations for Midnight Inbox. I've been looking for a good GTD app and Midnight Inbox looked promising. Unfortunately, the application is so confusing that it's nearly impossible to use. On the bright side, the developer did spend a lot of time on the icon, and it looks great! I'll be keeping my eye on this app.
Little Snitch
Little Snitch monitors outgoing network traffic to let you know when applications are connecting to the internet. It also gives you the ability to block interent access for certain applications. Little Snitch has many of the features of ZoneAlarm with a much cooler name and icon.
SuperDuper!
This application makes fully bootable backups of your Mac hard drive. I like SuperDuper's icon because it moves beyond the normal shiny 3D look of most OS X icons and does something more original.
svnX
SvnX is a must-have application for mac developers who need to work with Subversion repositories (a version control system). Their icon subtly displays the idea of version control and looks amazing in my dock.
Tangerine!
Tangerine is an application to help you 'create magical playlists'. Huh? I haven't found this app very useful, but the icon is sweet!
Toast
Roxio's all-purpose CD and DVD authoring software has one of the most clever icons around. Sure, it's expensive and doesn't smoke while it burns, but Toast's feature set is unmatched in the macintosh market.
Transmit
Transmit is commonly considered to be the best mac FTP application. It comes with a very detailed, toy-like icon. I guess these guys didn't hear the speech from Senator Ted Stevens about the Internet. After all, 'It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.'
Updatex2
I have started playing with another image editor for OS X that is closer to MS Paint or Paint.NET than Pixen, which is called Seashore. So far, it seems pretty good.Update
Anthony from On Various Things pointed me toward Pixen in a comment on this original post. To create the screenshot for my most recent post I had to crop the Parallels image from a full desktop screenshot (CMD-SHIFT-3) and then scale it to fit in the space Blogger has allocated for posts on this 800x600 template. Copying the Parallels pixels in Pixen, no problem, creating a new image from the pixels on the clipboard, slow but usable, trying to scale the image with any of the 3 supported algorithms, Pixen crash! I then went back to ImageWell to get it done. Sorry Pixen, you have been Trashed.

Original Post
When I posted about my first Mac OS X annoyance, I had already known about a couple gems for image manipulation on OS X, but these didn't fit my pixel pushing needs.

First up is ImageWell, which is a very good and free image editor, but its not Photoshop Lite. It's more like a blogger best friend. Get an image processed maybe with some text on it, and then send it off to the net. This is working out pretty well since I can post an image to my .Mac hosting folder I use for all my images in 1 click.
