2.4

December 20, 2016

- MaxCurve has been chosen as Best Apps of 2016 by App Store in China, Taiwan and Hongkong.
 - For this new version, use the new self-blending layer in the layer kit to overlay currently blended image onto itself; then, set the blend modes. Some designers have already used this method to enhance the contrast in Photoshop.
 - With the presence of copyright kit, you may add copyright info into EXIF, or add watermark for protecting your copyright. You may also add the watermark when sharing presets into Gallery.
 - It can help in fixing issues when resizing RAW images; appreciation goes to Jean-Christophe Courte.
 - It can also help in fixing the crash when saving images on iOS 7.

 I'm developing version 3.0 for you. It brings new interface, landscape mode for iPhone, pro camera with manual controls and tutorial.

- It has additional powerful history function with snapshot to MaxCurve to help you with ‘undo’ and ‘redo’ freely and also compare the difference from multiple snapshots. - Modified mask icon into preview mode when a mask is added to the layer. - It works to fix copyright issue in EXIF data.

Thanks goes to darklydrawn, Dave and Robin. - It works to fix issue when apply presets with texture layer to pictures but the texture map is wrong.

Reviews of MaxCurve

  • Five years, no update or bug fix.

    The extensibility shortcut (to use MacCurve via Photos app) has been made very difficult to use due to a bug that causes the lower third of the interface to be cut off and inaccessible on all iPhone screen sizes. This also causes filter masks to appear misaligned. The only way I can access the rest of the interface is by going into the MaxCurve app itself, which has a much les user-friendly interface for opening, editing, and saving modifications to photos.
  • App is broken (2023)

    App appears to be broken now, doesn't work at all. Support link also doesn't work. Is this app not being maintained anymore?
