Layout

Layout makes it easy to arrange your photos, tell stories, and share with friends.

Swipe your finger to quickly split a frame into sections, and use the radial menu to add photos directly from your photo album, Facebook, and Flickr. Enhance images with built-in filters and effects, adjust saturation and contrast, add some stickers, and a whole lot more. Then, add a caption to each photo, apply a background color or pattern, and share your layout with friends and family via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. If you want to go back, Layout includes undo and redo, and best of all, you can store your projects in iCloud to share them with other devices.

Layout runs on iPad 2 or later and iPhone 4 or later.
