TOKYO (MacHouse) – Finally, Apple, Inc. officially released Mavericks yesterday. And we are ready to release a Mavericks-only software title, which we submitted to Mac App Store More than an hour ago. This new software submission is called easyOldies.

easyOldies is a desktop application that makes a picture look like an old photo easily. It utilizes 8 new Core Image graphic filters + 1 traditional effect to achieve this goal. As a result, when you select a picture on the photo list at the bottom, you will have 9 filtered pictures. You now have an option of saving any them as a new picture (BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG or TIFF with v.1.1.0) with or without further applying color adjustments (hue, saturation, brightness, contrast). So you know… It’s quite easy to use.
