Looking for a quick way to make beautiful images for the web? Well if you have a Mac Picturesque from Acqualia software might be for you. Winner of the best Mac OS X student product for the 2007 Apple Design Awards, Picturesque was written entirely in Cocoa by Zac Cohan and Nik Youdale.

Picturesque is a very simple and intuitive image enhancing application that does a few things and does them well. With Picturesque you can simply drag and drop images into the staging area and with a few clicks of the mouse easily apply a number of polished effect including: reflection, glow, shadow, rounded corners, stroke, fade and resize.  I’ve been using it for a few weeks now for the graphics for this blog and have found it to be very useful.

Take a look at this very short video to get a feel for what you can do with Picturesque. Download a demo from the Acqualia web site, decide to buy it – good news it is only $19.50 – nice price for a solid product.
