Fill a little tin with photos and stickers, then put it on your Home Screen. tinwidget is a tiny scrapbook. Add your photos as framed prints or cut the people, pets and things out of them, type words in cut-out magazine letters, add stickers from fourteen packs, and arrange it all inside an open tin on a cloth backdrop. Your tin becomes a Home Screen widget in three sizes. • Auto decorate: pick a few photos and tinwidget lays out a finished tin for you, with matching stickers, a title and a backdrop. Tap Shuffle for another look. • Photo frames: add a photo as an instant print, a postage stamp, a film frame, a taped or torn print, a round or black-and-white photo. Change the frame any time. • Photo cutouts: pick a photo and tinwidget lifts the subject out for you.
