Nicehash. With the new iCloud support, Flare can seamlessly sync all your effects between devices. If you use Flare on more than one Mac, the effects will appear automatically as soon as you sign into iCloud. These new syncing capabilities, along with support for iOS 8 Photos Extensions, gives Flare superpowers on the camera you carry every day. Flare 2 for Mac (currently on sale for US$9.99 regularly $14.99) is a well thought out and executed app for photographers who want to get beyond the basics in photo effects.
Apple apps such as QuickTime Player, Photos, and Keynote work with many kinds of audio and video formats. Some apps prefer specific formats, but QuickTime movie files (.mov), most MPEG files (.mp4,.m4v,.m4a,.mp3,.mpg), some AVI and WAV files, and many other formats usually work in most apps without additional software. Older or specialized media formats might not work in your app, because the format requires software designed to support it. If that happens, your app won't open the file or won't play back its audio or video.
The names of the blending modes probably won’t make much sense to you, but fortunately, each shows a real-time preview—something even Photoshop doesn’t do. If you come up with a winning recipe of effects in the Edit panel, you can save it as a custom preset so that you can apply it to other images later. A sort of “scratch area” for developing looks is provided in the form of the Snapshots pane, which gives you another place to save presets, though I couldn’t find much use for this feature. Most of Flare’s effects are well-implemented and yield nice results. The texture, border, and vignette controls are especially good, as are many of the color controls. However, the general exposure and tone-correction options are fairly weak. For example, it’s very difficult to brighten just the midtones in an image without also washing out the shadows.

I’m just relaying what my pal told me. I run Flare on Windows 8.1 under Parallels at home, and under WIndows 7 on VMWare Fusion at work. Aside from the hardware differences between the Macs at work and home, I like running on Parallels because it handles multiple displays much more smoothly. I have not noticed any UI issues with Flare on either setup, or any issues with Flare at all. The only issues I have are (1) there is an issue with Flare 10 and how a VM network connection is set up.
