Lightweight and powerful image editor
Looking for an image editor that isn't bloated but is easy to use and powerful? ImageWell may be your answer.
ImageWell can resize, crop, rotate your images and even store them remotely. It allows you to annotate your images with built-in shapes, labels and arrows. In addition, ImageWell allows you to extend its functionality thanks to third-party developers that have created templates.
ImageWell can handle most major image formats and has a built-in screen grab tool for screenshots. It's also surprisingly easy to drag and drop images into it from other applications. Although its quite basic, the third party add-ons allow you add layers, create collages, drop shadows, borders and much more. Other than that, you can also adjust the exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpness.
Note however that ImageWell has recently been transferred to the Mac App Store. Users of previous versions will have to upgrade to the latest version via the App Store as it won't be made automatically.
ImageWell is a powerful and effective image editor that's high on features but lightweight and easy enough for anyone to use.

I miss having Imagewell on my computer. .
I have used Imagewell for years and now that I've replaced my computer it says I can't download it because it's from a third party developer.
Pros:
Truly an amazing little app.
Cons:
There needs to be a way to install it when we get a message it can't be installed because it's from a third party developer More

Not usable .
Said it's from a "third party developer". Took long to download as well, got a popup (forgot those things even existed) and then couldn't use due to it being from a third party developer. I never got that notification before nor a popup after installing something.
Pros:
the cute logo More

Simple and efficient.
ImageWell has served me well for basic functions for a couple of years now. With no experience, I was able to figure out how to resize photos for avatars (which usually require a very small photo file size), convert to jpg or png, etc... and create simple borders and caption text. It is not Photoshop by any means, but it is the perfect Mac user's program if you just want something that always works.On the down side, everything tells you it is free, but it appears to cost $19.95. Maybe this is a new development? My copy was locked randomly after I upgraded telling me that my free trial had expired.
Pros:
So easy to resize photos and convert to most image types.
Cons:
It doesn't give links back to the creator's website for uploading updates.
