While keeping the disc burning torch lit for so long after Apple ejected optical drives from the Mac is admirable, we can’t help but feel Roxio Toast 18 is a cash grab release. (Presumably this will be addressed in a future update.) Bottom line That means disc images won’t open within Toast 17 or 18 when running macOS Catalina, but the situation isn’t as dire as it sounds, since they can still be mounted from the Finder for the time being.

The user interface isn’t particularly intuitive and worse yet, HEIF images aren’t supported, so recent iPhone images can’t be imported without first saving as JPEG files.Īlthough the core Toast Titanium app is 64-bit, the built-in ToastImageMounter component remains 32-bit at this writing. The app is super basic-import an existing photo, then step through a variety of different screens where you add different looks and styles, eventually transforming each picture into a work of art.

Included in both versions of Toast 18, Akrilic feels more than a little like an aborted smartphone app ported to macOS. The new kid on the block, Roxio Akrilic, transforms photos into art, but that’s nowhere near enough to justify a paid upgrade to Toast 18.

It’s a curious addition, because at first glance the software appears to duplicate functionality found elsewhere in the bundle-specifically Painter Essentials, owned by parent company Corel. Sadly, Roxio has chosen to remove excellent slideshow app Boinx FotoMagico from the Toast 18 Pro lineup in favor of a new digital art tool called Akrilic.
