Juxtaposer lets you combine multiple pictures into creative and fun photomontages quickly and easily. Take any element from one picture and add it to another. Remix your pets into a mythical creature, swap a statue's head with your friend's, or combine photos into surreal and beautiful works of art. Juxtaposer has the power and features of a professional creative tool, but is simple to use and just as importantly, it's fun! Features: - Short tutorial videos will turn you into a photomontage artist in no time. - The new Magic Crop feature makes it super fast and easy to cut something out of your top image, thanks to a powerful Machine Learning model. - Your composite images are exported at the full resolution of the background image, even if it's huge (40 MP+)! - The image adjustment tools let you match your images' color and lighting, and fine-tune the look of your creation. - Zoom in to work on fine details with pixel-level accuracy. - Add elements from as many photos as you like to your background image. - Load photos from your iPhone photo library, Unsplash, Dropbox or Flickr, . - Email your photomontages to friends, share them on Flickr or save them to your Dropbox. - Save your cutout images in the Stamp Manager for later use. You can also share these "stamps" with friends or export them as transparent PNGs. - Undo any edit. Experiment safely, you can always get back to where you started. - 20 blend modes (like Multiply, Screen and Overlay) let advanced users create unique effects. - The "red mask" view mode shows you just the top image with the erased parts in red. It is helpful when precisely cutting out an element. * WhatsOnIphone.com: "The application works incredibly well and makes an otherwise challenging process simple and fun. It blows my mind that you can do such things on an iPhone." * IphoneAppReviews: "Pretty much everyone, at some point in time, has had the uncontrollable urge to take a friend’s photo and do something truly evil with it. Juxtaposer is an awesome photo-editing tool that can make that dream a reality!"
