Over 100 code files of powerful image editing tools, presented in the simplest user interface.
Like most workshops, you use several tools to accomplish a task. Core Image Tools is a large toolbox to reach into, to accomplish many complex effects, one simple step at a time.
Lightweight yet Powerful: Edit, enhance, resize, rotate, and add effects to your photos/images from the palm of your hand, while you're on the go, or also from your desktop/laptop.
Multi-Platform: Use the same app across your devices - iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Vision.
Super-Simple Workflow: Pick a Photos image, apply an effect, tap save - done! Want more? Pick that saved image, apply some other effect to it, tap save - done! Loop the image through as many edits/effects as desired and always have a hardcopy in Photos of each step along the way. Plus you'll always have your original, and never have had to type a single filename throughout the entire process.
Resize Images: ACTUALLY resize images, not just crop or zoom them. Also, you can ADD color/transparent/semi-transparent pixels to any edge (or all edges) of an image to resize it, or offset it, as well.
Flip/Mirror: Need to quickly mask/mirror a brand name out of your selfie? Flip/mirror an image, horizontally and/or vertically, with one tap.
Smooth: Use 'Selfie Smoother' to iron out a few wrinkles, de-focus skin blemishes, or smooth out other unwanted details.
Line/Edge Drawn Tools: Make an image look as if it was drawn/sketched using an ink pen, pencil, charcoal, colored pencils, colored chalk, light-pen, watercolored, wax-scratched (scratch-art), or made entirely out of dots/square pixels/points/hex pixels/or crystalized.
Bump Distortion: Kids of all ages (Mom? Dad?) love to swell up, or shrink down, faces and parts of people - give dad a superhero chin, a sibling one big eye and one little one, a bubbled alien-forehead of a friend - endless fun. Wish you had a smaller nose - shrink it. Wish you had bigger biceps or shoulders - pump 'em up. Wonder what implants would look like - find out. Zoom in on, and bring attention to, any feature in an image, even for technical uses, like highlighting a capacitor on a PCB, or a component of a wiring schematic.
Overlay Images: Including resizing, repositioning, and rotating them. Overlay your logo or business card over an image. Also, you can make an entire image of a transparent, or semi-transparent color (use 'Image Of A Color') and overlay that over your image, adding a color filter effect to the entire image.
Chroma-Keyers (3 types): Remove Green-screen/Blue-screen (or any color) backgrounds from images - make transparent overlays out of them.
Checkerboard: Make checkerboard designs - just pick your colors, including clear/transparent.
Blurs: Gaussian Blur, Zoom Blur, Motion Blur, & other blur effects (Glow/Bloom, Gloom, etc.).
3D/Graphics: Make textures/shaders, tile them, rotate them, make normal/bump maps from them for enhanced lighting effects. Mirrored/seamless tiles, multicolored gradients (linear and radial, and gradients scale perfectly and tile infinitely from one small image - very efficient).
Color and Light Adjusters: Many options - Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation; Exposure and Gamma; Vibrance... even an Opacity Adjuster. Try 'Dark Document Enhancer' on a dark document or a scan that you want to enhance.
Grayscale Images: Select from 5 grayscale modes each honed for specific imaging challenges.
Animated Image Player: Play, pause, slow down, speed-up, and reverse animated images.
Kaleidoscopes: Do you like kaleidoscopes? Oh yeah!!! Gotcha covered there! Over a dozen types. Infinite possibilities just from one image, and the default image is of the most beautifully colored flowers.
Developers: Make App Icons, Buttons, and Radio buttons.
