In may be sheer coincidence but a few days after an Indonesia-located startup launched a photo board service for photo sharing app, Instagram, the latter also announced a near-similar internal feature for users. Called Layout, the new app from Instagram lets uses combine multiple photos into a single image.
Announcing the new app on its official blog, Instagram explained step-by-step how to use it: When you open Layout, we automatically show you previews of custom layouts as you choose photos from your camera roll. To make it easier to find the photos you want, we’ve also added a ‘Faces’ option that shows you all the photos in your camera roll that feature people.
From there, you have complete artistic control. Drag and drop photos to rearrange them, pinch to zoom or pull the sides of each photo to adjust its size and get your layout just right. Then flip and rotate your photos to create cool arrangements and mirror effects.
For spontaneous moments, the app has a feature called Photo Booth. Tap it to start a countdown & capture photos that you’ll instantly see in a layout.
Layout from Instagram is available today for iOS devices in Apple’s App Store. It’s currently only available for iOS. The Android version is coming soon.
Just a few days ago, this Website had profiled gethashboard. This startup from Indonesia allows Instagram users to bung all their Instagram pics under a common hashtag in 1 place – in 1 photo board. This can be shared with friends & colleagues.
