LiveQuartz 1.0 offers free realtime effects, editing

Romain Piveteau today released LiveQuartz 1.0, a free CoreImage editor that is designed for "people that need a powerful basic image editor to easy manipulate layers, transparency and filters." Available in English, Chinese, German and French, LiveQuartz is built around layers and filters. Each photo dropped to its window is converted into a new layer--each of which can have several filters applied in realtime. It used a single-window interface (without palettes) and offers common photo editing tools, such as a brush, a duplication tool and an eraser tool. Users can also add a text layer. LiveQuartz, officially billed as "donationware," runs on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger only. (BeLight earlier this month also released a free realtime effects and image editing application based on the same CoreImage filters.)
