"The launch of version 5 for Mac in December 2007 was a major technical step forward for Piranesi, with major improvements to the UI, additional context-sensitive tools and help, and most importantly it's our first Universal Binary product, allowing it to run natively on the new generation of Intel Macs" said Jeremy Jones, Informatix's Marketing Manager. 

Macworld's reviewer, Nick Spence, praised Piranesi highly in the March edition of the magazine, calling version 5 'a worthy upgrade', and found the apparently hand-rendered results that can be achieved through Piranesi's extensively-configurable painting tools and effects 'compelling' and 'impressive'. 

Up against some real software heavyweights in its category, Jeremy Jones is proud to have received the nomination, regardless of whether Piranesi picks up the gong.  "The nomination," he said "is a dual endorsement: primarily of the excellent performance of Piranesi as a creative design tool; and also of the wonderful team of developers we have at Informatix.  It's a great achievement." 

The winners are announced at the Macworld Awards Ceremony at the IndigO2 in London on 12th June 2008.
