TOKYO (Tom Bluewater) – We still have 10 more days left this month. I guess I have time enough to release a new software title. In fact, I submitted a new desktop application to Mac App Store several minutes ago. This new software submission is called Cut Extreme 2.

If you want to make a rectangular cutout of a picture, you can do so with Preview. What if you want to make a cutout with a complex shape (like a heart, a tree, a star…) other than a rectangle?

Cut Extreme 2 is an upgrade version of an existing desktop application titled CutAround Extreme, which was first introduced in June, 2015. These applications let you make a cutout out of a picture with a shape made by a bezier curve. This application is now free. Shape collections are available as in-app purchases.

After selecting a picture to work with, select a shape with a drop-down menu so that you can make a cutout as to how you make one out of a picture. Then use the combo box right below to set a size of a cutout. Finally, click on the cut button (looking like scissors) to make a cutout. All cutouts are saved in the list to the right.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (Tom Bluewater) – I thought we were going to have a rainy day. I guess the Weather widget that comes with the System is not that reliable. And it has turned out to be a very beautiful November day, which is what we need before we enter a long, cold winter.

Anyway, I submitted a new desktop application to Mac App Store several minutes ago. There is no child app for iOS this time. It’s purely a desktop-only release. This new release is called Super Patterns 2.

Super Patterns 2 is a desktop application that lets you create a pattern with shapes, images, rich text strings. It is an updated version of a desktop application called MiPatterns. Create a pattern, which can be saved as an image file to your disk.   Continue reading →
