Gridditor – Sneak Preview Of Brand New Photo App

From the developer of Filterstorm, Gridditor shows you four filters at any given time, one in each cardinal direction with your original image at the center. The farther you go in any direction, the stronger the effect gets. By arranging the previews in a grid, you can see the effect of applying multiple filters at once letting you edit faster, and showing you creative possibilities you may not have considered otherwise.

When you select the thumbnail with the changes you like, it will move to the center and become your new ‘original’ image, loading up four more filters for you to look at. If you don’t like the four selected filters, you can select the original image to load up four more, or manually change the filters by pressing on their respective buttons.

Check out more about this awesome app below. This app will hit the Apple App Store tomorrow and we’ll be giving away some promo codes, so make sure you check back for that!

    Now this looks like an app I’ll need to try out! I will be back tomorrow to try for one of these codes!!

    It is an amazing concept. I’ve seen the video when the developer tweeted it.

    I’d absolutely love to win a code for this app! I’ll be alert! 🙂

    Joanne,

    Tai is an incredible, responsive developer. I had some issues with filterstorm pro and he got me on the right track fast. Looking forward to this app. Even if it is $3.99 or $9.99 i am getting this app.

    Be well

    Laurence
