Rich of effect and easy to use!
"Mac OS X 10.7.3 and above is required to make this application run properly (due to known issue with cursor validation on Macs with HD 3000 integrated graphics)
REQUIREMENTS
Intel, Mac OS X 10.6 or later."
Will this run without issues on SL ??

Also the developer is one of the good ones, you know the sort that reply and don't stick their head in the sand hoping for you to go away, always has been friendly, with any of my requests.
I have no affiliate to the developer, I just find all the soft as I say well written and it works, and the price, is in the right area.

I'm becoming a fan of Snapheal as i offers some interesting options that of course other software offers, but the price, is just incredible. Again for home use it's perfect.
I have 6 of there apps running on the Mac and iPhone, iPad. the range is great. price is greater.
I also have 3 version of Photoshop and 2 copies of pixelmator running, and a copy of Photoshop elements. All great programs, but as I said at the beginning, I just wanted a point and click option for home use. so I can spend a little more time doing other things.

I had to go out to take care of some personal business, so I left the app running so that the slow download would complete while I was gone. Upon returning home over three hours later, I discovered that the download had aborted itself.
So, here I am trying yet again, and once again the download is as slow as molasses, and I am just waiting to see if another download error is going to occur.
Aside from the extremely slow download rate as I mentioned in a previous comment, this developer really needs to consider making a regular DMG file available whenever an update is available. Many of us like to keep DMG backups of the apps we use for emergency situations.
Only making updates available from within the app itself is for the birds.
Please reconsider your strategy and manner of distribution. Thank you.

Anna, for your information, it took several hours to download the 84.1 MB FX Photo Studio Pro update. Yes, I finally got the update, but as I said earlier, this is not acceptable. You really need to find a better, faster, more efficient way to distribute your software, as otherwise, you are going to anger a lot of your users. People lead busy lives, and they don't have hours to waste waiting while a file downloads.
It might interest you to know that in the same time it took me to finally download the FX Photo Studio Pro app update, I can download a file several GB in size from the Apple website. That says a lot about the quality of your download link.
Also, to reiterate what I stated earlier, you really need to start making a regular DMG file available to your users whenever updates are available. Many thousands of Macintosh developers offer a DMG file on MacUpdate, and on other software download sites, whenever an update is available for their software. What prevents you from doing the very same thing?
Just making the update available from within the app is not acceptable. I had to repeatedly restart the download because it kept stopping, or getting stuck, or failing.
Please carefully consider my suggestions. It's for your own good . . . unless you want to lose users.
Thank you

Is this delay because MacPhun LLC gives preference to MAS? I hope not, as that doesn't seem right -- or fair -- to me. If we are all paying customers -- even if we did obtain the software via a MU bundle -- then we should all be treated the same without partiality and on equal footing.
If there is some technical reason why the MAS version is made available first, even though there is a delay while an app is being approved by Apple, then I for one would be interested in receiving an explanation.
Also, I am a little concerned regarding how MacPhun LLC stated the 2.1 update will be made available to MU members. It is fine that it will be made available through the app itself, but will it also be available as a standalone DMG file? Like myself, no doubt many of you like to keep safe backups, just in case something goes wrong with the new version.

In fact, I just did a Get Info, and it clearly states that I am using 2.0, which was last modified on September 8, 2011.
This morning -- January 8th -- I also checked for the 2.1 update from within the app, and it still says that 2.0 is the latest version.
A word of advice to the developer: In the future, you may want to be more conservative in issuing release dates for future versions. As you can no doubt determine by reading a number of the reviews here, making a promise for a certain date, and then not keeping it, only raises the ire of your users.
This dissatisfaction is only augmented by the fact that the MAS version was released so many weeks ago, while us MU users are left still waiting, and feeling like we are being treated like second class users.
Even though I am not a developer, I do understand to some degree the complexities and compromises that must be made with Apple, in order to promote and sell software via the MAS.
However, it is precisely because of those complexities with Apple, that some of us are still wondering why the MU version was not released first, since -- as far as I know -- MU doesn't make a developer jump through so many hoops like Apple does.
