TOKYO (MacHouse) – Some people seem to be happy with a desktop application called CutAround. Maybe, that’s because it’s easy to use? This application makes a top 100 paid application list for Graphics & Design at Mac App Store from time to time in some regions. So I’ve decided to create a new application based on CutAround. The result is… Well, I submitted a new software title to Mac App Store more than 10 hours ago. This new submission is called CutAround Extreme.

CutAround Extreme is an advanced version of CutAround, which is an existing desktop application available at Mac App Store. The latter only lets you clip a circular area of a picture. CutAround Extreme gives you a list of more than 40 shapes including a circle with which you can easily clip an area of a picture.  

Available at Mac App Store

1. Select 1 of more than 40 shapes to clip an area of a picture.
2. Save a cutout as an image file to your disk. You have options of casting or not casting a shadow (outer glow) around the cutout.
3. Save all cutouts as image files to your disk with the same settings at a time.
4. Rotate the source image clockwise or counterclockwise.
5. Save settings (shape selection, shape size, shape path color) by choosing Save Settings under CutAround Extreme. Load settings whenever necessary.
6. Rescale the source image. Choose a scale rate under the View menu.
7. Change the color of the vertical and horizontal lines that intersect with each other at the center.
