Flare 1.0

New photo editing app for the Mac from The Iconfactory. The focus is on preset filters for adding effects and styles to photographs. The UI is swanky and the default presets are pretty fun — sort of like Instagram, but with the full power of a Mac behind them. Even better, you can tweak each individual effect within a given preset filter, create and save your own presets, and download/share new ones.

Regular price $20, but it’s on sale through March 18 in the Mac App Store for just $10.
