Turn your photos into print art with layered ink, carved lines, deep cyanotype blues and foil that catches the light as you tilt your phone. Pressed brings six distinct print styles to iPhone and iPad. Start with a preset, explore variations in Quick Press, and shape the finish with controls made for each process. FIND YOUR PRINT STYLE Risograph: layered spot colours, halftone dots and expressive ink overlap. Photocopy: bold toner, worn copies and the character of a zine. Linocut: carved lines, graphic shadows and textured ink impressions. Cyanotype: rich blues, washed highlights and brush-coated edges. Screenprint: bold colour separations, ink coverage and a hand-pulled look. Foil: metallic and holographic finishes with a live, tilt-responsive preview. MAKE IT YOURS Choose your colours or material, adjust the print, and refine the paper and framing. Compare with your original photo and return to earlier edits with undo and redo. Each style offers its own settings within a familiar workspace. CREATE A SERIES Give a group of photos a shared look, with room to refine individual images. Keep favourite recipes and return to the combinations you love.
