I can't remember if I mentioned Picturesque here before, it is a perfect image effect tool that adds modern effects to the images without Photoshop (or Photoshop skills). Picturesque 2.0 adds a number of new features and improvements to Picturesque 1.0.x, the most noticeable ones are the 3D perspective effect as seen in Apple.com, and improved batch options.
Picturesque allows you to beautify the images you have with only a few clicks. Your pictures/image will look gorgeous for web, and very Apple style.
