// TEAR TABLE. A new surface tool. Tear your image into pieces like paper (draw the tear lines yourself) then rearrange the scraps into a collage and flatten at full resolution.

//COPY BED - Run your image through a machine that was never serviced and move the image while you do. Duplication with degradation.

// FINE CONTROL! Every slider now supports fine-precision scrubbing - drag away from the track to slow the scale down. 5.2 Aug 27 MONO LAB 5.1
Quick Fixes: Fixed an issue where the projects intermittently wouldn't move to directories.
MYSM and and TMPS filter outputs were fixed to match the view finder version more accurately.

Faster. Smoother. More reliable.
Responsive tools with live progress
Reduced lag on large images
Improved stability across the app 4.0 May 20 Optimized distortion filters:
// Temporal Shatter - Time fractures across the image. Moments split, repeat, and misalign, as if multiple exposures are trying to exist at once.
// Pressure Veil - Invisible forces reshape the image. Structure compresses, swells, and bends as if pressed through shifting fields.
// Consumption - Dark mass overtakes the image. Structure is gradually absorbed, leaving behind only fragments of what was there.

Six new reactive filters that respond to how you hold and move your phone. Tilt to shift thresholds, melt surfaces, collapse ink, and create ghostly trails… all in real time. Capture any moment with the FREEZE button to export exactly what you see.

Six new Distort filters let you tap anywhere on your image to set the effect center. Spin pixels into a vortex with Event Horizon, stretch them like elastic fabric with Gravity Stretch, or shatter them into corrupted signal fragments with Fragment Field: each with a shape picker and fine-tuned controls. Three new Live filters that let you Freeze and capture your image.

Five new vector filters: Trace Tone, Relief, Echo Grid, Parasite, and Residual Self.

The six reactive filters have been streamlined behind the scenes. Tilt to shift thresholds, melt surfaces, collapse ink, and create ghostly trails… all in real time. Capture any moment with the FREEZE button to export exactly what you see. 3.2 Apr 2 X Filters - Your Motion, Your Image

Six new reactive filters that respond to how you hold and move your phone. Tilt to shift thresholds, melt surfaces, collapse ink, and create ghostly trails… all in real time. Capture any moment with the FREEZE button to export exactly what you see.

Six new Distort filters let you tap anywhere on your image to set the effect center. Spin pixels into a vortex with Event Horizon, stretch them like elastic fabric with Gravity Stretch, or shatter them into corrupted signal fragments with Fragment Field: each with a shape picker and fine-tuned controls. Three new Live filters that let you Freeze and capture your image.

Five new vector filters: Trace Tone, Relief, Echo Grid, Parasite, and Residual Self.
