Sea of Poppies

I have been busy with a customer project for the last month, hence no new releases.

Today, however, I thought I had some time to do other stuff, so I started with a new poppy wallpaper. I already have one out, but it's focused on more close-ups of the flowers. I wanted one where you see them from a distance and get the feeling of a red sea of poppies.

I found this gorgeous cc image by Geomangio a while ago and have wanted to do something with it since then:

So I isolated the background and then used some of my previous objects to compile this new "Sea of Poppies Live Wallpaper". Hope you like it!

InstaSquare

For the first time in a long while I'm releasing something that's not a wallpaper. The new app is a simple photo-editing app called InstaSquare.

Instagram for Android was an instant hit and I started using it with my iPhone friends who where already in there. I quickly noticed the limitations of the square format though. Since I'm also a photographer and often want to share real photos and I had to crop them badly to put them on instagram.

So I made this app where it's very easy to either just use your photo without crop, or fine tune it by just zooming in a little, moving it around in the square frame or even rotating it without limitations (not just the 90 degrees that are so common) with an easy rotating gesture using your thumb and index finger (pinch). The free rotation feature is rarely found in other photo edit apps, and no one I have seen does it as easy and fast as InstaSquare.

I plan to extend the functinality by letting the user select background color, maybe add textured backrounds and increase the photo size from 1024x1024 to 2048x2048 in the near future.

Also I will release a free version of the app with some functions locked.
