Dramatic Black & White vs grid.photo

Make a Black and White Photo with Light Contrast Grit and Form --- MacWorld’s pick for the App Gems of the Year Award --- Everyone knows it doesn't get better than classic Black & White - it's the artistic soul of photography. Referencing one of our favorite Ansel Adams quotes: "Great Black & White photos aren't taken - they're made". Using Dramatic Black & White you can make your own black and white photographs, ones where light and contrast, grit and form come together to tell a story; ones where stone and sky, water and light transcend the material world and ascend to the Photographers’ Gallery. With Dramatic Black & White there are no mistakes you can't fix, no limits to your vision, no stopping until you're finished, nothing to hold you back from truly 'making your photos' and making them - Oh.My.Gosh. good! 

JixiPix's Dramatic Black & White app starts by leaving color in the rear view mirror, and enables you to make expert adjustments with easy-to-use, fully customizable controls to contrast and light, texture and shape. Before your eyes, watch your photo transform into the dramatic looks of the past and cutting-edge styles of the present.

The corner belongs to the most-liked frame. grid.photo is a global photography showcase where the image itself is everything. No follower counts on the grid. No algorithmic feeds. No pay-to-promote. A great photo by an unknown photographer stands exactly the same chance as one by a veteran with thousands of fans. HOW IT WORKS Every photographer gets one upload per day — not a gallery, not a portfolio, just their best frame. The community votes with likes and favorites, and the most-loved image holds the corner. A Gravity score measures how much pull each photo still has, keeping the Rising feed fresh and competitive. Once a photo's momentum slows it retires from the main grid — but lives on in the photographer's profile forever. Nothing is deleted, just graduated.
