Since its release, Flare has been a tremendous hit with amateur and professional photographers alike. Users have lauded Flare’s ease of use while others have enjoyed the power of editing effects and presets. The response has been so great we’ve decided to extend Flare’s special 50% off sales price for the time being. Ordering from the Mac App Store is still the easiest method and means there are no registration codes to keep track of.
We’re also pleased to announce that we’re also bringing the special 50% off purchase price here to the Iconfactory. If you’d rather not purchase Flare from the Mac App Store, or if you’d prefer to pay using PayPal, now you can receive the same discount that Mac App Store users have been enjoying. Before purchasing you can download a trial version that lets you experience all the powerful features of the app. Once the trial period is over Flare limits the size of photos that can be exported.
We invite you to visit FlareApp.com to learn more about the application that reviewers such as TUAW, AppStorm and Daring Fireball have praised. Remember, your photo is just the beginning!
