    Fragment – A Fabulous Brand New iOS Photography App From The Developers Of Tangent and LoryStripes

    2013-12-19 / Comments Off on Fragment – A Fabulous Brand New iOS Photography App From The Developers Of Tangent and LoryStripes

    Wow! this app Fragment looks fantastic, it’s a brand new app from the developer Ben Guerrette (Pixite LLC), from Tangent (App Store Best of 2013) and LoryStripes fame. Fragment allows users to transform their photos into stunning, visual artistry using a series of uniquely prismatic overlays. The overlays break up, or “fragment” images into a collage of mesmerizing patterns and shapes that Pixite’s Creative Director Ben Guerrette says, “mirrors the effect of looking through refracted glass, or the facets on a gemstone or prism.” Fragment’s users can take any picture from their photo library, choose how they want to crop it and then manipulate the image by selecting from a…

    LoryStripes – Technical iOS Photography App Tutorial – By Jerry Jobe

    2013-12-11 / 1 Comment

    We’re delighted to publish the latest mobile photography Technical Tutorial by our fabulous Tutorial Editor Jerry Jobe, this time on the new and popular iOS photography app, LoryStripes. Don’t miss this, over to you Jerry. (Foreword by Joanne Carter). We’ll wrap up our look at the apps of Ben Guerrette/Pixite with a walk through LoryStripes. It’s remarkably similar to Tangent (using “ribbons” instead of shapes), but instead of allowing for patterns and seven different blend modes, it allows for 3D perspective and masking. Like Tangent, the opening screen is very minimal. You can choose to take a photo, load a photo, get a little information about the app, or tap…
