2011-07-16/Comments Off on Pixel Blend – New iPad Photography App
Pixel Blend is about finding your inner artist and creating original, impressionistic photo art by manipulating the pixels of an existing image using your stylus pen or finger.
Inspired by the instant film manipulation movement, a technique that employs various tools such as paperclips or sculpting tools to push, distort and scratch the film’s soft emulsion to design a dramatic new look.
The app offers similar built-in tools to smudge, smear or otherwise manipulate any image imported from your digital camera, iPhone or iPad library. The result is an image with a beautiful painterly and impressionistic appearance.
YOU’LL HAVE THE ARTISTIC FREEDOM TO: Choose your favorite tool Decide on temperature Add a background texture Undo option Resume previous session if interrupted Export your masterpiece to Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and Tumblr Join the Pixel Blend Flickr group And much more.
Make a real impression on friends and family with this exciting new photo art tool. Who knows, you could be the next Monet.
