]]><![CDATA[Coming up for macOS]]>https://activedevelopment.co.nz/coming-up-for-macos/5feb578597397711e58b32acWed, 21 Aug 2019 13:57:02 GMT

As Apple announced their new method of running iPad apps on macOS systems I knew this would be a huge benefit for PicFrame. Although there was some code sharing between the iOS and macOS versions, there was not feature parity.  The macOS version was missing a few things, such as text labels and stickers.

Now they can share almost the entire code base, reducing the workload for myself on maintaining two separate applications and allowing me to push further on PicFrame features. There are some interface changes that will need to be made due to some interface elements making sense for touch based input but not mouse based input, but overall it will function exactly the same.

The downside will be the PicFrame macOS project files will no longer work with the new version, there will however be the template feature coming from the iOS version which is essentially the same.

Keep an eye out for it this year, as well as an improved interface for iOS as well!

Established in 2011, Picfx has been part of the iPhone photography community for over 6 years. During this time we have seen many advances in the iPhone camera hardware, commanding many powerful new apps to satisfy the growing number of niches within iPhone photography.

With this update we’ve refined our feature set and focussed on our vision for a highly functional, simple, effective tool for editing your photos and videos.

Besides adding new features we also announce the removal of all overlay filters and textures. Specifically Bokeh, Space, Textures, Grunge, Frames, Scratches & Light leaks. For these needs we invite you to try an alternate texture based Photo App in the App Store.

You can find Picfx in the App Store.
