In conjunction with doing its job on collages, Eventiles also helps to organize your photo collection and keep track of when and where you shot your images. The app lets you adjust aspect ratio, borders, border color, patterns, and decorative frames, and offers a vast number of resources for everyday collage building. But there’s flexibility in the workflow, though Fuzel makes it easy to bring your images together in an engaging presentation, offering a plethora of ways to adjust them via simple, on-screen arrow and slider controls. Not a Basement Studio has just overhauled its respected Fuzel collage builder for iPhone (4.5 of 5 rating) with a whole new look that encourages you to choose your photos first and then decide on layout, borders, labels, and decor from stickers to frames. Fuzel (iPhone) Engaging Fuzel gives you everything you need to create and customize gorgeous collages. Simple to use, but with many sophisticated options, Diptic facilitates the creation of gorgeous collages. However, if too many choices overwhelm you while quickly pulling together a collage, try Diptic PDQ (short for Pretty Dang Quick), which is essentially the same Diptic app, but with a streamlined interface that removes some options and in-app purchases. With its ease of use and multiple opportunities for improvement via 99-cent in-app purchases, it’s hard to conceive of needing anything more from a mobile collage app. But its performance improves after images are on the canvas. My only complaint is that the app is a tad slow in initially placing pictures. Diptic’s elaborate control panel lets you select images, apply special effects, rotate, adjust border colors, patterns, and thickness, change aspect ratio, and create new cell shapes directly on the canvas, and add text. You can also pull photos from social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, and more. Diptic accommodates various workflows by letting you import images or take new ones within the app, and add photos as you go. Drilling down into each of these categories offers even more choices for experimenting with your collage’s look and feel. Within each style, additional adjustments such as border, frames, aspect ratio, and fonts are available. Swiping through the previews gives you insight into what to expect from each style. But customization options are just the beginning. Peak Systems’ 99-cent Diptic (4.5 of 5 rating) puts a designer touch on the collage concept, providing nearly 200 layout choices.
