Panoply 7.7.771
Device: iOS Universal
Category: Photography
Price: Free, Version: 7.7.79 -> 7.7.771 (iTunes)
Description:Panoply is an E-Multimedia Composer and an interactive Player.
Panoply is the iPhone version of Panoploid for the iPad.
Create your business card, greeting card, next panoramic photo, ipod playlist, party invitation with directions, travel book with audio/video, executive multimedia presentation, art sketches, music video album with cover art: all on the iPhone.
Device Requirements:
This application runs only on iPhone 4 and above, iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS with iOS 6.0 or higher.
Similar to E-book, in addition to text and image, you can composite maps and graphics and add 'On Touch Do'(OnDo) directives on composites to play audio, video, show another image or display a web page. Such composites are collectively, in general, referred to as 'Pano(s)' below.
Pano roll can be searched on: location by address, latitude/longitude, a pano caption.
Share pano image via e-mail or Bluetooth.
On 3GS or later, Panoply also helps you capture panoramic views by automatically positioning, sizing and orienting individual photos(max 5) approximately.
Panos can be edited on the spot while capturing or any other time later.
A set of Panos can be collected in a 'Portfolio' and saved.
Panoply manages all of your media resources optimally without duplicating them if possible.
Panoply does not force a workflow or a method. Any moment during capture or creation or modification is the same as any other and all operations are available all the time.
Panoply stores content in a device independent format. This currently means that whenever a pano is edited, modified, and stored back, the changes are applied on the original to maximize the resolution of the result. Looking ahead, it means that should we release Panoply on devices with higher resolution, your current content can be presented on the device with the device native resolution.
Panoply uses database technology to store the contents. Therefore it is fast, responsive and, searchable.
Panoply is built 100% on native iPhone technologies: there are no other third party software or software ported over from other platforms.
In Panoply, what a gesture means is determined by context(graphics, maps, etc.,)as well as settings. This prevents us from having to invent arbitrary distinct gesture for each operation. But it also means that one needs to be aware of the context and settings that might affect a gesture. For example, in graphics workspace, you can create a rectangle, an ellipse, a filled rectangle or, a filled ellipse all with two touches. What gets created depends on the settings.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you at least cursorily go through the 4 pages of info before starting in order to be more productive as well as for a better experience at:

What's New
Bug fixes for:
- Color chooser sometimes used to slip off to a corner on iPhone.
- Switching between Monochrome(Gray Scale) color chooser and Red, Green, Blue (via S->General Settings -> Color Model) rendered the color chooser incorrectly.
- Swipe for next/previous composite in portfolio used to crash after one or two swipes. The animation was incorrect for all but Portrait view.
== From previous versions ==
- Annotations('Note') is now rendered with proper resolution when zoomed during creation/edit
- Multimedia selection('ONDO') now has a pop up for easy selection of media
- Text font size selection on editing
- Settings were not restored properly on editing a composite unless there was an image in the composite.
- Fix for Issues related to image filter deletion and application to graphics and text.
"Browse only" further restricts downloaded content from being sent as mail attachment in addition to not being editable.
Panoply Cloud is now available and accessible via Library -> Cloud. You can share your content with others, sample and/or download
content uploaded by others:
- Swipe right on a Portfolio in Library and choose to upload

- We would very much like to see everyone contribute towards themes.
Changing font on existing text is fixed.
On iPad, if you are picking from camera roll, once you have chosen the photo, swipe left.
- Filters attached to components other than image(text, note, map) work on edit/restore
- Frame can be applied and restored. Now media button [M] also attaches and detaches Frames.
In order to resize the frame, it might be easier to detach it and re-apply
Image filters
---------------
Now you can "attach" image filters to each individual component(image and map but also graphics and text) from the component tool bar that points from the component when the component is selected in the composite workspace.
You can also attach filter(s) to the whole composite itself through the Filter button in the bottom toolbar in the Composite workspace.
Media attach and detach button in composite workspace, '[M]', also detaches
the filters on all components if there are currently image filters in the composite. These can be re-attached by pressing the button again -- when it shows ']M['.
It is not necessary to detach filters to resize or move a component. If you edit a component when filters are attached, the display will only be updated once this editing finishes(ex: there is no longer keyboard visible in case of a text component). We suggest you use '[M]' button to detach all filters and attach the filters back at the end of editing.
A filter can be added multiple times for a component. In order to delete a particular filter, you can select the filter in the 'info' screen for the component(or 'Filter' button for the whole composite). The filter set is displayed in the screen. You can select the particular filter you want deleted and deleted it from the screen that follows when you select the filter. You can also modify an already existing filter on a component instead of deleting it from this screen as well.
