2.1.5
2022-04-25
Tile photos can be conveniently edited from the 'Tile Actions' menu presented when you tap on a tile in the collage. Tap on a tile and select 'Edit Photo' to display image editor where photo can be cropped, labelled, enhanced and more.
Added HDR video support across all features by converting HDR to SDR to improve colors.
Other recent updates:
Added 297 built-in templates to the Layout tab of the main view. (That makes a total of 345 built-in layouts.)
The ability to manage collage size has been improved - manage it from the 'Share' menu.
Other minor improvements include enhanced feedback when rendering a collage to save.
FIX: Cancelling media retrieval is more responsive. Cancelling the retrieval of multiple items, or items that were not downloadable due to some external issues, was not always successful.
FIX: The audio of some videos may be missing from video collages. Under certain conditions the audio was not loaded.
FIX: If a video collage generation is cancelled the last tile may have its video inadvertently deleted during cleanup.
NEW: The media picker now supports multiple selections so you can create collages with mutliple photos and videos more easily without need to repetively open picker for each selection. This feature is available from the ‘Photos’ button menu item named ‘Camera Roll’.
FIX: The thumbnail size slider in the media list organizer has been fixed. Access the media list organizer from the 'List' button.
NEW: Can delete a tile from the main view using its tile menu - tap on the tile to display the tile menu.
FIX: When you add a new tile in the edit view its border color was not matching the selected tile.
FIX: The color picker brightness control was obscured on some devices. The preview collage during generation was not properly positioned relative to the status bar on some devices.
NEW: 'Date Labels / No Date Labels' option in the Share menu to include dates in the rendered collage.
NEW: 'Bigger Collage / Smaller Collage' option in the Share menu to possibly produce higher resolution collages (actual size depends on other considerations also).
NEW: 'Item Info' menu item in each tiles contextual menu that reports info inc. size, creation date and location. (Tap tile to display menu)
NEW: Photo collage preview shows the collage pixel dimension (useful for comparing the new Bigger/Smaller collage option)
FIX - Background photos were not properly scaled or cropped to the collage size.
FIX - The ‘Cropped Mosaic Collage’ feature may miss cropped videos if the app moved to the background ex. switched to another app while it was cropping.
FIX - The ‘Cropped Mosaic Collage’ cropped videos would have a creation date of the date cropped rather than the date of the video being cropped.
IMPROVED: Some menu item ephemeral alerts have been replaced by active alerts that require dismissal when selected inc. Zoom Photo To Video, Clip Photos To Bounds, Fit Label Inside Border, Show Layouts In 1 Row, Render Index Labels, Only Swap Photos, Crop Photos.
IMPROVED: Photo menu has been simplified using a submenu for less common items, the photo to video zoom option is restored on launch.
Introduced a new collage type named 'Cropped Mosaic Collage' where a single media item (video, photo) is cropped into the whole current template layout. Each crop is actually applied to a scaled crop rectangle based on the tile thereby producing a special effect via an irregular mosaic:
NEW - Photos menu item 'Cropped Mosaic Collage': prompts for media (video, live photo. gif, etc) to be cropped into the current mosaic layout (template). Using the tile as 'crop rectangles' the photo and video for selected media will be cropped and inserted into each tile for blending *afterwards*.
NEW - Tile menu item 'Cropped Mosaic Collage': Similar to the Photos menu item by the same name but uses the tiles existing video rather than prompting you for media.

NEW - Tile menu item 'Clear Photo and Video': removes the tiles photo and video so it is marked 'empty', so no need to enter the template editor to do the same.
Previous updates:
NEW - Every tile displays its associated video duration, and the date of the media item in the combined format 'mm:ss, dd/mm/yy'. Every tile has a video - even static photos for which a 'zoom' option is available from the Photo menu.
NEW - A short completion sound is played when video generation is completed.
FIX - In the collage editor 'Paste' was not refreshing the collage when there was no selection; so the pasted tile was not immediately visible.
Improved video color preservation, especially skin tones, during certain load and edit operations.
New: Tile videos can be previewed, shared and replaced from the main view (previously only from the edit view). Tap on a tile to access new options menu.
Bug fix: When setting the background photo any previous background that was a tiling of a photo was not cleared, and it may appear the collage has two backgrounds at the same time.
Issue fix for iOS 13: Generated videos were displaying only 'inline' and not full size in the Messages app. When you tapped on a video to view it full size the Messages player would simply state that it was a video, rather than play it.
Bug fix: After a video collage was completed the original photos were restored out of order if there were more than 10 of them, or possibly not at all.
Added video and live photo support.
The image picker enables you to also select videos and live photos, as well as regular photos. When you do the video or live photo video is added together with an appropriate photo.
You may then generate a plain photo collage, or a video collage, to share.
Tile metadata such as border color, corner radius, tile opacity and labels apply to video.
When you load a video or live photo a representative image will be the tile photo. Conversely, when you load a static photo a short video, optionally with zoom, is created.
The Jumble view and all built in templates support video, as well as your own custom templates. Editing tiles in the edit view has been updated to support video, except photo edit and crop operations only apply to the tiles photo and not video.
