There are no filters or image editing of any kind, in Layout. One advantage of saving to Instagram is - you got it - filters. You must save it to Instagram first before being able to post on Twitter. If you want to share via Twitter, there’s an additional hoop to jump through. Saving your image is similarly easy, as is sharing with Facebook, Dropbox, iCloud Photo Sharing and Messages. A countdown timer lets you shoot on-the-the go selfies and other immediate shots. You can also adjust images inside the layout with the pinch or zoom gesture.Īnother feature that can hasten collage creation is dividing images between All, Faces (using face detection technology) and Recents (30 of the most recently used photos) from the potentially vast store of photos in your Camera Roll. Other collage apps also let you make adjustments in the collage template though the flexible ability to change patterns can vary.Ī simple drag and drop within each template quickly changes the position of the images and lets you adjust relative size even further to personalize generic layouts. You can order a special effect with one photo - such as mirror or flip - or add in different photos.Īs you add photos to the mix, you can cycle back and forth between layouts before committing to one as each layout is adjustable, you can alter composition on the fly.

Immediately upon launching the app, you get nine layout choices.

In a way, the real question is not why Instagram has now launched a collage app, but why it took the company so long.Īs it stands, Instagram took the time to construct an easy, quick and intuitive tool, piling most options into the front end of the process and providing ample revision opportunities. Instagram has released a brand new collage app - Layout - that lets you use your iPhone to combine up to nine photos in a single shot.
