Latest Updates in Like A Frame for iOS — The Digital Framing App In Your Pocket
Like A Frame for iOS has received a number of bug fixes and updates since introducing Auto-Canvas mode in version 5.3. Here is a list of the updates made:
Read MoreUpscaling Landscapes with the Sony A7CR & Topaz Gigapixel 8
Frankly, I’m quite impressed with how far upscaling software has come for photography. I have tried these kinds of upscaling algorithms in the past a while ago and they weren’t very successful, but Topaz Labs Gigapixel 8 does a really impressive job with the natural, fractal and randomised textures of landscape photography.
Read MoreIntroducing Auto Canvas Mode in Like A Frame 5.3 for iOS
With Auto Canvas in Like A Frame 5.3, the selected photo layer will be locked to the center and the canvas aspect ratio will automatically adjust itself depending on the size and framing settings chosen. You can still add other photo, text and overlay/sticker layers into the composition, but the auto-canvas layer will remain centered.
Read MoreIntroducing Non-Destructive Image Adjustments in Like A Frame 5
Like A Frame 5 is here and introduces non-destructive image editing for photo layers. Adjust exposure, brightness, contrast, shadows and highlights and saturation without affecting the original image. Your settings are saved as part of the photo layer’s composition settings.
Read MoreSplit Your Panoramas Into Scrolling Carousels With Like A Frame 4.8
Version 4.8.0 now includes a new feature called Split Panorama, which makes it quick and easy to split your wide panoramic images into multiple frames for posting to social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Threads.
Read MoreLike A Frame 4.5 Now Offers 7-Day Free Trial
I’m really proud of the app I’ve built, and up until now it has been set as an upfront cost. A very small fee that gave me a little incentive to continue working on the app, but now I have changed the way that fee works by transitioning to a 7-day free trial model that allows users to try the app before purchasing lifetime access.
Read MoreLike A Frame 4.3 — Textured Canvas & Undo/Redo
Like A Frame 4.3.0 is now released which introduces two major updates, both of which I have been wanting to implement for quite some time. You can now undo/redo the edits you have made to the composition as well as add textured canvas backgrounds with shading for more presentation options. Download Like A Frame here on the iOS App Store.

Introducing Like A Frame Version 4.1!
This is a big update bringing a long requested feature, text layers. Along with up to four photo frame layers, you can now add text layers with a total of 10 combined. Text layers can use any font on your device with bold and italic styling as well as any colour. Once composed, use drag, pinch and rotation gestures to move the text into the position you want. Double tap to change the text alignment.
Read MoreKyoto, Japan - Racquet Film Digital Photo Gallery
In 2017, I produced a small body of street photography work which I was really proud of. Shot on Kodak TRI-X 400 black and white film using the Leica M7 and Voigtländer 35mm F1.7 Ultron prime lens, I eventually showed this series of photographs in my first photo gallery at a former film lab called Racquet Film in Brisbane City.
Read MoreLike A Frame Version 3.6 Released - Custom Aspect Ratios
Like A Frame 3.6 has been released which adds a new setting called Custom Aspect Ratios. You can now add your own custom aspect ratios to a list that is included in the Canvas, Photo Frame and Photo Crop composition settings. Add a 2.35:1 aspect ratio like widescreen cinema or maybe an old school film format that you want to emulate.

Read MoreLike A Frame iOS App — Resize Photo Feature & Spanish (featured on PetaPixel)
Matting and framing photos results in a more polished, professional look. That holds true in the digital realm as well, and the Like A Frame app for iOS makes it easy to do just that. Now it is localised for Spanish users and includes a new quick Resize Photo feature for sharing images.
Read More“SilverChrome” Film Simulation App for macOS in Development
I’m a full-time software developer with graphics experience, so I finally began to look into how I might be able to recreate the entire Photoshop action, film grain simulation and all using Apple’s CoreImage framework and some custom GPU shaders.
If I was successful, I could work to turn the project into a standalone piece of software that ran much faster and required no additional software to use!
