The fine folks who brought us the Diptic app have combined two of my greatest loves: documenting my child and not using Photoshop or GIMP.
What’s Diptic, you ask? It’s a photo manipulation program that lets the user resize, colorize, collage, and border images together. You know, the kind of thing that takes me a good weekend in Photoshop and GIMP. (And the kicker is- I know how to use those programs! Kind of.) Turns out, flicking an image bigger or smaller on one’s iPhone or iPad is more my speed. I had a feeling.
My first attempt was nothing to write home about. Unless you’re writing home about the cutest toddler, EVER. I pasted and resized two pix of Nora’s that I really dug- and was stalling on cropping, editing, etc., for printing out. It took me three minutes on my phone.
Here’s what I got: super cute big pic, super cute small pic. Dust bunnies and uneven paint cropped out. Zoom in on that toothy grin. Border it in grey. Brighten it up a tad (and pretend the “natural” light wasn’t a rather yellow foyer jobbie.)
