iPad – Magic Bullet Arsenal – New Portfolio App
Magic Bullet Arsenal is a mobile, connected portfolio for showing and sharing your creative work. Arsenal makes it easy to create rich, customized portfolios of the images and movies on your iPad, on Dropbox, or FTP—and share them with anyone.
Arsenal Collections are simple, gorgeous presentations of your images and movies that look incredible on the new iPad’s Retina display. Browse them by scrolling through each “Strip” independently, swipe from one full-screen image to the next, or launch a slideshow. You can customize the look and feel of your Collections, right down to adding your own logo.
This is a brand new app, it retails for $4.99/£2.99 and you can download it here.
Features
• Ready for the new iPad. Present and view your portfolio in beautiful detail on the new iPad’s Retina display.
• Arsenal is easy to browse. The Light Table display is a unique way of browsing images and movies. Your Collections can contain as many “Strips” as you like, and each Strip scrolls independently.
• Arsenal files are tiny. Email an Arsenal Collection that is linked to media on Dropbox or FTP. Recipients can open that file in the free Arsenal Reader, and they’ll see exactly the presentation you designed, even your logo.
• Your Collections are always in sync. Once you share a Collection to Dropbox, FTP or an exported file, Arsenal keeps the Collection updated for every viewer. You can make changes to a presentation after you’ve sent it!
• Syncing is optional. You can also create an Arsenal Collection using only media from your local Photo Library. When you share this file, all the images and movies are contained in the file—no syncing necessary.
• The Arsenal Reader app is FREE. Share your Arsenal project file with anyone; all they need is an iPad and a network connection.
• Collections are cached. Arsenal keeps local copies of your media, so you can browse them even when you’re offline. You decide how much space Arsenal uses on your iPad.
