Gluestick

The graphics software available today has become increasingly complex, making simple image editing tasks such as resizing or stitching together images for iMovie a daunting task requiring expensive software. Enter Gluestick - a revolutionary software that offers an elegant and simplistic interface to creating graphics from existing images. With Gluestick, users can easily create icons, stitch family photos for iMovies, resize graphics, and create web graphics with ease. It's the perfect solution for handling the common image needs of the average user.

In addition to its basic functionality, Gluestick includes templates for creating one-click Mac OS X icons, as well as preset image libraries to browse and add images from. Users can also create their own custom image libraries to manage their existing assets.

One of the most impressive features of Gluestick is its Core Animation integration. Mac OS 10.5 Leopard introduced the Core Animation feature, allowing programs to take advantage of rich and smooth animated interfaces. Gluestick was one of the first programs to fully leverage CoreAnimation, enabling the user to watch their entire composition animate as they build it. Layers fade into position as they are added, and images slide into place as they are moved. Users can also watch any effects they apply to their images animate as they change them.

The benefits of CoreAnimation don't stop at aesthetics, however. Gluestick renders compositions on the user's computer graphics card, which ensures a snappy user experience. Additionally, the software utilises Apple's CoreImage API to apply image effects, which is also accelerated by the user's computer graphics card. Gluestick offers an unparalleled user experience, allowing users to create beautiful graphics quickly and easily.
