A Short List of What's New in Acorn 7

* Universal Binary that runs natively on your Intel and Apple Silicon based Macs.

* Choice of having a unified window with all the inspectors combined into a single window, or floating palettes like traditional image editors.

* Über Export. A new export workflow gives you options for specifying a color profile (like CMYK or Gray), more formats to save as (now including Animated GIFs and WebP!), precise file size of your export, and a live preview even for PDFs.

* New Zoom and Navigation Inspector gives an overview of your whole image with the ability to drag a viewport around to change the view in your canvas.

* Perspective Fix & Crop tool will help you fix images where there are problematic perspective distortions.
