PosterizeImager is a tool that can create images like poster or illustration from photos with a method to decrease number of colors. Since the gradation of original image is restricted, flat coloring images like anime or comic can be got. The degradation colors also can be converted to the different color of original image using user designed color table. Since the app can draw edge lines on the boundary between same color areas, line drawing like manga can be created. For the edge lines, line width, color, or shadow can be specified, and coordinate conversion - translate, rotate, or scaling also can be applied. Moreover, copy and paste for edge lines are utilized, these can be drawn on the other images. As optional functions, pen style, edge layout like annual rings, hatching (including maze pattern) and PDF export are equipped. ※You can see many samples on Instagram with #PosterizeImager.

Learned once to take away senses while photographing. Wore ear plugs a lot. Took away color to see light a bit more. Here is a black and white camera. It does a couple tricks. It will make an image bright and clear. Point it at something you love. -j “Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.” - Pema Chödrön Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
