I agree with the consensus. Skitch has overshadowed this app with its simplicity and fun. Version 3 of ImageWell made things more complex. I used to use it mainly for quick drop shadows, and the new version dropped the "Add drop shadow" from the menu and made it a manual process.

When I voiced my displeasure about this to the developer, the answer was NSFW, to say the least. Version 3 also did more than add features to the paid version. It took features away from the free version.

I keep version 2 on hand as a "just in case" application.

oh don't get me wrong guys. this is an awesome app. if there weren't apps that did what imagewell does and more for free, i'd pay for it.

$20 ? lol
skitch from now on

Unfortunately, not freeware anymore.
(Although 20 dollars is not too expensive for what it does...)
.

Why can't it handle a width over 2000 pixels???

I have used version 2 for a long time. It was an essential for me.
Version 3 spoiled the experience completely. I am still using version 2. Right now, I am testing skitch, which might become the successor to ImageWell.

Incredibly clever. Pity it doesn't have the Photoshop "Save for Web" command which is just about all I open Photoshop for....

And OMG, why can't they make it less ugly?

An excellent photo editor which I use predominantly to resize images for the web. It does the simple things very well and it saves me opening up Photoshop. You can also crop, watermark, add text and edit your photos or use it as a screen grab tool.

A great timesaver and very easy to use.

A blogger's dream... it's a little awkward but definitely very powerful for its minimalist interface.

Oh yes it needs another icon!!! I so hate it when it comes up in the dock that I don't keep it there ... ! Which is kinda stupid I admit ...
