Smart Resize 2x

This has been a workhorse app for me ever since it came out, but today I opened it to discover it will now only work in portrait orientation. I hope this was an error that will be corrected soon. Working in portrait is a nuisance, since my iPad workspace and keyboard case are all arranged to work in landscape. Not sure why a photo is huge on import and then shrinks as you resize. Rather odd. .

this app has been exceptional for taking the extra step to be attractive. In addition to working well, being simple and straight-forward there was a simple menu point where, for no reason other than she could, the background was uniquely and beautifully colored each time I opened the app. I liked that. A lot. Now it's grey, right? Just grey with menu choices in a row. Oh well. How dull. It doesn't make me happy anymore. There's a little workaround I had to figure out for very low resolution photos because when faced with those the app just gives up and shuts down. I don't think it crashes; just quits. I figured I'd start by adding a bit more to the low res photos with a frame - the easiest are Dyed (fun color matchings!) or Afterlight (best default editor, plus extras and frames). I snip off the frame as the resolution gets higher but be aware if you need to engage in such trickery that's a photo that's not going to reach high resolution. It's a great app; side by side comparisons demonstrate this is the best; just bring back the esthetic value.

I was skeptical that a lower resolution photo could be improved without looking unnatural, but I’ve always been happy with this developer’s work. I decided to give Smart Resize a try. I tested the app using one of my favorite photos of a bald eagle. It had dark pixelation around the eagle that bled into the blue sky, and there was a general lack of clarity in the feathers and eyes. Surprisingly the app cleaned up the bleeding edges and almost completely removed the pixelation. Overall it improved clarity in the feathers and eyes. I wouldn’t say the result is dramatic, but it certainly appears to be a higher resolution photo compared to the original. I’ve tried improving photo clarity with other apps but the results were less than impressive. This app is a keeper!

I’m just now trying to lean how to improve the looks of my photos. I have a iPhone iPad and a Nikon D7100. And shooting in manual on the Nikon in a flat profile you can do amazing things with this and others app from this developer. If you are on a budget definitely buy the bundle. You will not regret it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💯 For this app if you need to resize your photos and you shot photos in low resolution like on your Nikon when you was still learning it does help.

Form the people that brought you the best app in the App Store ... iColorama ... comes this handy tool. While it does a wonderful job on resizing an image, I’m an even bigger fan of the Smart Ratio cropping tool. If you find that you want to selectively keep a portion of your image but change the overall picture length and width ratio, this app is for you! Hard to explain, so just give the app a try.
