Image'n'Bits 2.0 ($79) can convert images, regardless of their origin, to OLE objects ready for you to edit, tile, and drag and drop into other applications or convert to other file formats. The program allows you to embed or link an image file into another application for editing without having to exit that application. You can also tile and convert to thumbnails objects stored inside the Image'n'Bits albums. Image-processing functions include flip, mirror, convert to negative, false color substitution, smooth, blur, sharpen, posterize, edge detection, pixelize, and emboss. Distortion filters include pinch, spiral, fish-eye, paint, star, melt, and wavy.
