Editors comments: This is a nice app that has the same look and feel as ColorSplash.
Above: This image shows the similarities between Color Magic Deluxe on the left and ColorSplash on the right.To test this app I first used the free lite version, but that only saved at a poor 800x600, and as the app description does not mention file size, I decided to buy the Deluxe version to see if this supported full-res. Sadly the answer to this question is NO, and because of this I am only scoring 2 stars for this app, however if the Deluxe version had supported full-res, then this app would have got my recommendation!!

Went to take a look at Color Magic Deluxe in the App Store, and ATM it's free. Don't know how long that will last, but I grabbed a copy.. Seems like the potential is there for a really good app, if they fix the rez output.
^ Free but still has watermark :(
There is a note that they've sent an update without the watermark in for approval by Apple. So, we'll see about that too.
