User reviews

I love all applications from this developer

All impressive applications from this developer. Love You Guys For Working Hard.

With Kindest Regards-BR

Terrible

I have an I phone 10. When I hit access’s photos
It only allows me access to my camera and not my existing photos. So finding it impossible to import a photo. Rubbish app!!

Misleading photo

There doesn’t seem to be a way to get a “true” infrared picture, despite the photo of the tree with hanging tire. THAT is true infrared. How was it obtained?

Good with IR filter

Fun, with some unusual effects. Works even better if you shoot through an IR lens in the first place.

JUST AWFUL IN ITS LIMITATIONS. LOOK ELSEWHERE!

I’ve worked tirelessly on various occasions whenever I thought of a different approach, but after roughly 48 hrs in cumulative experimentation, I have become so irritated by the lack of power and simple features in this app as to finally desist and write this warning for others.

Jixipix is not the greatest developer of image manipulation filters, but I strongly feel this is their weakest app.

If you want to be working on images that have been shot with infrared-enabled cameras, you need to be able to make the simplest red/blue channel swap before you can begin to alter the image roughly along the idea behind this app.

Perhaps we’re stuck with GIMP or PS in MacOS for infrared.
