The JixiPix Rainy Daze photo app puts the power, emotion and uses of rain at your fingertips. With it, you have the power to envelop your photos in a soft mist's romantic glow, wash your landscapes clean of imperfection, and bring drops of meaning, large and small, fast or smooth, to your personal expression. Is it possible for a photo to make your body ache? Or pull on your heartstrings? Give you hope? Well … is there rain in your photo? Because, along with the moisture, rain drops emotion - strong, instinctive emotions. It’s not something anyone needs to be taught - we just feel it. And since there are as many emotions of rain as there are types of rain, the artistic uses for your photography are virtually endless. Some things you might like to shoot for: bright and clean, regenerative, renewing, glistening; powerful, ominous, thunderbolt and lightening, cascading in waves – horizontal. Or, sweet-smelling soft dreaminess, romance and peace - a delicate kiss alight in the air. Whether you're a graphic artist, professional photographer, or a budding iPhoneographer, use Rainy Daze to bring some rain to your photos and the response from your viewers will be subconscious, immediate, and visceral. Pretty handy. The Rainy Daze photo app comes loaded with three powerful styles: Rain Shower, Romantic Rain and Vintage Rain. Each unique style applies an advanced tonal technique to give your photos the feel of a rainy day. Rain Shower slightly darkens the scene for an appearance of an overcast day, Romantic Rain brings a soft romantic glow, and Vintage Rain gives a toned, aged appearance. Each style allows you to adjust the rain from a light drizzle to a heavy shower, change the angle of the rain, and change the length of the rain from short drops to long streaks. You can (do a rain) dance if you want to, but it's not necessary. Just head to the App Store and – Make it rain. Rainy Daze delivers: •Dynamic rain, length and angle •The ability to darken the sky with clouds •Loads of presets, to get you started fast •The ability to create personal-favorite custom presets using the "Save" menu •The addictive JixiPix Randomizer – so much fun! •Easy-to-use slider controls to adjust light, contrast and texture just how you want it •Superfast preview mode to immediately see edit results, with large image rendered at save •You can save to the photo roll and/or email or post to Facebook. Share your masterpieces! •Works with Hi-Res images for top-quality results •Superior customer support and updates – we're committed to your long-term satisfaction
