Innovative Fragment app enhances images using prismatic effects - Published on 12/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pixite LLC today introduces Fragment 1.1, its new photo enhancement app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Fragment lets anyone transform their photos into stunning, visual artistry using a series of uniquely prismatic overlays. The overlays break up images into a collage of mesmerizing patterns and shapes. While serious iPhoneographers will gravitate to Fragment's stunning capabilities, the app is being offered as a simple-to-use tool for the day-to-day photo enthusiast.

San Diego, California - The photo app wizards at Pixite LLC, the developers of Tangent (App Store Best of 2013), have done it again and created another extraordinary app for iPhonographers. Called Fragment, the new photo enhancement app lets users transform their photos into stunning, visual artistry using a series of uniquely prismatic overlays. The overlays break up, or "fragment"; images into a collage of mesmerizing patterns and shapes that Pixite's Creative Director Ben Guerrette says, "mirrors the effect of looking through refracted glass, or the facets on a gemstone or prism."

Fragment's users can take any picture from their photo library, choose how they want to crop it and then manipulate the image by selecting from a creative toolbar of overlays featuring various frames, shapes, and patterns. Once selected, the image is then "fragmented" into a kaleidoscope of reflections, depending on the overlay, and can be scaled and rotated at will using simple finger swipes and pinches.

Additionally, there are intuitive shading and color controls with brightness, contrast, blurring, additive, inversion and desaturation capabilities. For users who love spontaneity, Fragment serves up a shuffle button, offering randomly "fragmented" creations that can provide further artistic ideas and inspiration.

What's even more striking about Fragment is the use of a "highly-reactive, lightning-fast interface," says Creative Director Ben Guerrette. "As users select overlays, the updates are seen in real-time, so images actually "fragment"; when scrolling your finger across the controls. Technology like this is redefining the industry, and it's exciting to harness this kind of high-level engineering for Fragment's release."

Keeping with Pixite's highly-successful Tangent and LoryStripes photo apps, Fragment's users can choose to share their pictures through Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter with just a tap, or "Refragment" to continue adding additional layers to their design.

While serious iPhoneographers will gravitate to Fragment's stunning capabilities, the app is being offered as a simple-to-use tool for the day-to-day photo enthusiast. "Even if you're not a digital artist, the possibilities are endless," says Guerrette.

Fragment's unique features:
* 46 distinctive fragments (frames, shapes, and patterns)
* Fragment size and position is fully editable and scalable
* Photo size and position is completely editable inside fragments
* 62 unique blend colors
* 6 adjustable effects including brightness, contrast, additive, blur, invert, and desaturate for artistic control
* Customizability of fragments, blend colors, and adjustable effects equal infinite design possibilities
* Unlimited layering through "refragments"
* Share on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter
* Creations can be sent directly to other apps, or saved to the Camera Roll

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 5.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Fragment 1.1 is $0.99 (USD) for a limited time and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo and Video category.

Real Euro Detector 1.6 released: Counterfeited Euro Banknotes Identifier - Published on 12/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Gas Nervino Software today announces Real Euro Detector 1.6, an update to its popular counterfeited Euro banknotes identifier for iOS, Android and Amazon Kindle Fire. Using the Hi-Res Camera of your iPhone, this app is able to recognize fake banknotes. Featuring 5 different identification pattern identifiers, with just a few clicks you can quickly identify counterfeited Euro banknotes. Version 1.6 introduces full support for iOS 7, Italian and Spanish languages and more.

Agrigento, Italy - Gas Nervino Software today is proud to announce the release of Real Euro Detector 1.6, an update to the company's popular counterfeited Euro banknotes identifier for iPhone, iPad, many Android devices including Amazon Kindle Fire. Using the Hi-Res Camera of your iPhone this app is able to recognize fake banknotes. Featuring 5 different identification pattern identifiers, with just a few clicks you can quickly identify counterfeited Euro banknotes.

"When somebody gives me 50 Euro or 100 Euro, I have often wondered if it was a fake," explained Giorgio Sanfilippo, founder of Gas Nervino Software. "I mean, how would one know? Is it fake? Is it a counterfeit banknote? I didn't know how to recognize real or fake cash. For me 50 Euro are a lot of money and losing them would be a really bad deal. Now I have a powerful tool to fight counterfeiting. RED can identify almost all counterfeit Euro banknotes."

In 5 different ways, RED will guide you to properly identify a counterfeit Euro banknote. Using information and images from ECB - European Central Bank - Eurosystem website and the powerful features of our mobile phone, RED lets us recognize fake banknotes from 5 Euro to 500 Euro:

Visualize:
Take a photo of both sides of the suspect banknote and in overlay view, you can see if there are differences between the trusted model (from ECB website) and your banknote.

Touch:
Selecting the value of your banknote, RED will show you where and how you have to touch your banknote. It indicates what is the tacile feedback your finger has to receive.

Transparency:
It's the most powerful feature of the app. RED will show you a black screen, highlighting the correct watermark pattern.
You can put your banknote over the screen and move it until the transparency pattern matches with the watermark. If it doesn't align properly, the banknote is a counterfeit.

Details:
Genuine banknotes have some coloured lines that, when magnified, show tiny alphanumerical characters and words.
RED allows you to identify the location of these lines and, using the Hi-Res Camera of your phone, take a photo of your banknote, zoom it and check if there are words or simple lines. If they are just lines, it's a counterfeit banknote.

Online Check:
The last function of RED verifies if the serial number of your banknote is in the police database. Just type the serial number of your banknote to know if it's in the Counterfeit Banknote Police Database.

Version 1.6 introduces full support for iOS 7, adds support for Italian and Spanish languages, as well as minor bug fixes.

Language Support:
* English, Italian and Spanish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 16.8 MB

* Android 2.2 or later
* Processor ARM V6 or more
* All Kindle Fire or later
