Not that long ago, in a galaxy not that far away, we released an update to Pharos IV: Assault!
This 1.1 updates unleashes computer assisted torpedo targeting for greater accuracy, resumption from highest level attained - no more starting over from level 1 - and fixed the stutter issue that affected iPhone 3.0 users.
Update is for both iPhone/iPod Touch and Pharos IV: Assault and Pharos IV: Assault Lite versions.
This latest update for Comic Touch (1.2.2) (direct link to App Store) addresses several issues that popped up with the release of the latest iPhone 3.0 update.
The update fixes UI display, photo rotation issues when going into landcape mode, and image effects display issues.
Please update from within iTunes or using your iPhone/iPod Touch device.
Your friends are global… you can send them links… but what if the action is on your screen? ... Point out a quick suggestion to a colleague or pass on that funny moment from an IM chat, post images to MySpace, eBay, forums or via email.. Skitch is the Internet age's Camera and it Rocks!
Andrea Innocent is a freelance illustrator and designer who often works with clients abroad. She says: "Skitch has become an integral part of my design process. Working from home I can quickly grab a shot of an image I am working on, throw it into an email and get feedback".
Skitch saves her the repetitive process of exporting, finding the file and sending. It saves those lengthy explanation emails - she just points at what she means.
Executive (Bruce Lang)
Bruce Lang uses Skitch dozens of times every day to communicate exactly what 1000 or even 10000 words cannot. His phone calls, email and video conferences can now be supplemented with pictures, scribbled on with 'back-of-the-envelope' simplicity.
Bruce can share these images on Skitch.com with a hundred people across the corporation, and get feedback right there eliminating long, confusing email threads. And he can now post images anywhere — like text-only feedback web-forms. Skitch is, in his own words, "Quick, simple, efficient".
Skitch has hugely changed his workflow for the better. Ideas travel fluidly from Mathieu's head to his screen and then to colleagues, with Skitch becoming a natural point-of-call for most simple graphics tasks.
For example, Mathieu drag-and-drops annotated images into essays, visual class notes. In his personal life, Skitch has removed many steps of getting images online, on to flickr, his blog and his mySpace account.
Kirsten uses Skitch extensively for teaching and fun at home too.
"When I showed Skitch to my elementary students (and my own kids), it wasn't a matter of teaching them how to use it, but simply putting it in front of them.
They especially love using Skitch with the iSight camera and dropping their creations into our school newspaper and Comic Life creations."
Skitch can drag and drop directly into Comic life, making this a great duo in the class room. (not to mention the many other possibilities!)
The developer - Us!

What people say
...bone-rattlingly awesome.... Skitch, by plasq.... Oh my God, it's such a cool application for capturing screen stuff....

I have a new love, and its name is Skitch ... I can say this is the coolest thing I have seen at Macworld that isn't an iPhone
Scott McNulty, TUAW - tuaw.com
I used to think a Mac was not a Mac without QuickSilver. Now it's not a Mac without QuickSilver AND Skitch. It's been like growing a thumb for the first time -- how on earth did I ever live without Skitch before?!

I am finding it invaluable. Another great product from plasq
Adam Christianson, maccast.com
The main thing that separates the good applications from the great applications is attention to detail. Skitch has a few ‘little things’ that both surprised and impressed me... ...Happy Skitching!

With toooooo many graphics programs you have to do lots of tedious selecting of tools or guessing of image modification numbers, but with Skitch it's just click click click - finished. All very intuitive :)
David Bowers, wowinsider.com
It is just as ingenious as Comic Life and is designed for sharing, annotating, managing and generally having fun with images. It is amazingly powerful yet simple to use and should find a ready market, not only among consumers but in schools and professional studios. Garry Barker, The Age - read article
