tone vs LOGORU

tone is a photo app that gives your pictures the character of stencil printing. Pick a photo, and fine halftone dots and overlapping inks turn it into something like a two-color poster or zine page. Layer photos together in one printed composition. Drawings and text can also be added as material for the overprint. In Simple mode, tap the random buttons to explore combinations of colors, halftones, and frames. A guided tour walks you from loading an image to exporting it. Inks that fit your photo can be chosen automatically. Export right away, or fine-tune dot frequency, screen angle, density, and print behavior for each color. Move, scale, and rotate photos directly on the preview. Crop each image and edit its corners and margins on the canvas. Add rounded corners, hand-cut edges, and paper grain to finish it like a poster or card. Save finished artwork to your photo library. For physical production, export print-ready artwork or a separate file for each ink with finished dimensions, bleed, Standard / Japanese crop marks, true-size imposition, and PNG / JPEG / PDF output. tone supports iPad in portrait, landscape, and Split View. On a wide screen, keep the preview and controls side by side and adjust their widths for your workspace. Your latest artwork and editing settings are saved on device and restored automatically the next time you launch tone.

Bring your logo to life. LOGORU lets you intuitively animate your shop or brand logo, your own illustrations, and other image assets just by touching the screen. Import an image, separate it into parts, then simply start playing with it. Pull, stretch, shift, shake — your artwork responds directly to your fingers. Explore a variety of gesture-based effects, including print misalignment, dots, spatial shifts, and more. With the tracing effect, elements appear smoothly in the order you trace them, almost as if they’re being drawn on screen. Set a color, photo, or video as your background. Record your movements directly and save them as videos. You can also export just the animated elements as a GIF with a transparent background. Save your finished GIF to Photos, or copy and paste it directly into compatible apps. You can also copy cut-out images from the Photos app and paste them straight into LOGORU. Add a little movement to the logos and illustrations you already use. Great for sharing your shop, your work, and your latest updates on social media.
