It's all about the Edge! Unlimited edges to make your photography pop! JixiPix takes vintage to a whole new extreme. Gone are the days of having a few tiny choices when it comes to adding flare to your imagery. Chromatic Edges brings back the subtle magic of photo processing with glass, silver and paper plates all with a few taps and your unique photo. It’s all about the edge! There is something artistic about the old days of plate photography. The silky smooth images and fabulously artistic edges are just amazing to look at. Before the days of digital or film photography, photographers had to process their images using glass plates, metal plates, and paper to get their final image. These processes took tremendous skill and passion to produce the final product. Some of the processing techniques even required the processing of the glass plate within minutes of taking the photograph. Boy have times changed! Until today you had only a few choices if you wanted to recreate some of the old-style photo art. You would pick a stock photo and blend it into your photography. And since there are only a few choices you were left with your artwork starting to look oh-so-familiar. Chromatic Edges changes all that and gives you unlimited artistic photography styles while only taking a few steps to create. We at JixiPix have found unique ways to use Machine Learning to generate unlimited edges. Just tap the “Generate” button to see the magic happen. Chromatic Edges will, Quickly and effortlessly, create a completely unique edge. If you find that you love it, its super simple to tap the ‘+’ to save it for later. To create this powerful technology took thousands of artistic man hours of meticulously painting edges. These edges were then processed through our deep learning algorithm and used to teach the ‘machine’ how to create them on its own. Now you, the user, get to use this power to ‘edge’ your photo and never have two of the same edge again. And the great thing is…even if you know nothing about the fabulous photo techniques from a hundred years ago you will still appreciate the possibilities and creativity you can achieve with Chromatic Edges. Chromatic Edges is filled to the brim with styles. Easily create Calotypes, Cyanotypes, Daguerreotypes, Gelatin Silver Plates, Tin Type, Chromogenic film, Autochrome, Ambrotype, Carbon Print, Aristotype, Salted Paper Print, colored edges, and thousands of styles in between.
