On My iPhone/Android: Layout from Instagram

By
 
 
iOS | Android
 
I am not a big user of photo collages on my site, but I have some very specific use cases that gives Layout from Instagram a place on my iPhone and iPad. I often post collections of products I create with my photography and Layout allows me to easily assemble and post collages of product samples. Occasionally I will use it for more casual creations, too. It does what is does, quickly, capably and reliably, which is about the best that can be said of any app on your devices.

 Create fun, one-of-a-kind layouts by remixing your own photos and sharing them with your friends.

Choose photos from your camera roll—or use the built-in Photo Booth to take spur-of-the-moment shots—and instantly see them laid out in various combinations. Pick the layout you like best, then edit it to make it your own.

Layout's smooth, intuitive process gives you complete creative control. Tap to mirror, flip or replace images, hold and drag to swap them, pinch to zoom in or out, or pull the handles to resize. You're the editor, so get creative—tell a story, show off an outfit or just splice, dice and change the look of your regular photos to convey a mood or theme.

FEATURES

* Re-mix up to 9 of your photos at a time to create fun, personalized layouts.

* Use the Faces tab to quickly find photos with people in them.

* Capture the moment in Photo Booth mode with quick, spontaneous shots.

* Save your layouts to your camera roll and share them seamlessly to Instagram or other networks.

* Easily see the last 30 photos you've selected in the Recents tab.

* Pair your layouts with Instagram's filters and creative tools afterwards to make them stand out even more.

* Download and start creating immediately. No signup or account required—and no clutter breaking up your flow.

Elsewhere Online: AT&T's Spam Filter Gets A Bit Too Aggressive

By
This story from TechDirt lays out yet another reason I recommend that folks DON'T use the email provided to them by their ISP. My typical recommendation right now is to get a Gmail account instead. It also points out why I want to manage all my SPAM on my end, without pre-filtering from an ISP. I will gladly manage my spam if it helps to insure that I see as many of my "real" messages as possible. Again, Gmail's tools work pretty good in this regard. Having an alternative email account also insures you will keep the same email, even if you decide to leave your current ISP. Witness all the folks holding onto AOL accounts just to keep their AOL email address. Thank goodness at least that is free now. AT&T's Spam Filter Gets A Bit Too Aggressive You can certainly understand why ISPs offer spam filters. It's a service for users who don't want to be totally bombarded with spam. But what I've never understood is that these ISPs rarely give the user a

On my iPhone…IFTTT (If This Then That) for iOS

By
IFTTT (If This Then That) for iOS IFTTT (If This Then That) for iOS My best description of IFTTT, both their main web site, and this new iOS app is "a scripting language for the We." It allows you to set up "recipes" that watch one particular service, like Feedly, Evernote, Gmail and more, and then take action on another service whenever a particular action occurs. I use this to automatically save my shared items from Feedly and elsewhere into an Evernote Notebook and also use it to post automatically post information on a variety of services. The iOS app adds to this functionality by allowing you to take various actions on your phone and triggering IFTTT actions whenever they occur. In the case of the iPhone, initiating actions can include adding new contacts to your iPhone, taking a new picture and more.  For more complete information on how IFFTT works, visit ifttt.com    From the iTunes App Store...
