The folks at Stone Design say Stone Studio — seven applications built to support Mac OS X — is now available. The suite features Create and PhotoToWeb. Stone Design CEO Andrew Stone said the applications come with free licenses valid through May 15.
The suite includes applications to do graphic design with page layout and Web publishing features, manage digital photos, track time and bill clients, and produce PDF. The following applications are included:
“These last few months have allowed us to really polish our applications with the Aqua look and feel,” Stone said in a press announcement. “We’ve lowered our prices and our applications are freely accessible to Mac OS X early adopters. Download them today and give them a trial.”
All the applications come with fully searchable online help documents. If you like them, you can buy them online at the Stone Store at a special introductory price of US$299 through May 31. Stone said the suite contains over $1,200 worth of software.
“The true power of OS X shows when you use the apps together,” he added. “Use Create to make images, drag them into Slice & Dice, create a Javascript rollover, drag it back into Create, and generate a Web page complete with rollover graphics. Use GIFfun to create animated graphics that can be placed in Create documents. Even TimeEqualsMoney can use dragged in images from Create to add a logo to your invoices. With OS X, our apps can work with other applications. Drag images from your web browser into Create. Drag images from Create into Mail. It’s all seamless.”
