The whipper-snappers at acqualia.com snagged a student design award and invite to Macworld last year with their great little program Picturesque, designed to help add nifty effects to images. The program has just been updated and features more intuitive controls, more effects and more presets.

Picturesque is not a full image editor, but it's a great program for doing things like changing the perspective of images, adding borders, cropping images, creating reflections and shadows and more. (This image is a quick sample of the sort of things you can do.) It's not cheap at US $34 (especially since Pixelmator, which also updated recently is only $60 and provides many more features) but for bloggers and web posters it's a great tool.



The latest addition to the PDN family, the PDN Gear Guide in print, has a total circulation of 30,000, and covers the latest and greatest in photographic equipment. Initially created in 2006 to be the official guide to PDN's annual flagship photography event, PDN PhotoPlus International Conference + Expo, the PDN Gear Guide is now also available online for gear news and updates 365 days a year.
