## Review summary

Overall, users praise iColorama S for its breadth of features and high-resolution outputs, especially for blending and layering. Long-time users call it a cornerstone of their digital-art workflow, and many appreciate the one-time purchase model. However, recurring complaints include paywalls to save/unlock features and watermarking, a perceived ugly or unintuitive UI, stability issues (crashes or freezes during use or export), and limited masking/selection tools. Despite these drawbacks, the app remains a powerful, beloved editing suite for those who can navigate the gating and learning curve.

### Pros

- Extensive toolset (presets, styles, effects) with blending and layering options for creative image edits.
- High-quality outputs that preserve full resolution during export.
- One-time purchase model (no ongoing subscription fees) that avoids recurring costs.
- Powerful, versatile editing workflow that long-time users rely on for diverse results.
- Works well with other apps (e.g., Darkroom) and is valued as a cornerstone of digital-art workflows.

### Cons

- Paywalls and subscription gating to save or unlock features, sometimes requiring payments after already buying.
- Watermarks and forced upgrades reduce usability for non-subscribers.
- Ugly/unintuitive UI with a steep learning curve.
- Stability issues such as crashes or freezes during use/export.
- Limited masking tools, with difficulty masking backgrounds/foregrounds and lack of zoom/detail control.
