5/5Over , under and through : The possibilities of Image Blender
This is an excellent app which I use frequently . One of the very best . In my informed opinion it is far more interesting and subtle than any other “ double exposure “ effects out there in apps such as Snapseed ( which Is excellent) as well as others . The range of offerings that Image Blender presents to combine , vary opacity and positioning allows for endless creative possibilities . Thank you . I’ll try to think more about ways you might improve or rather expand but overall well done . Bravo ! I especially appreciate that It can be used with a light touch … making changes not so obvious and “ photoshopped “as they say . I’m a fine art photographer and painter who exhibits in museums and galleries . I use adobe photoshop with 35 mm Raw images with extensive layerings . I also use a pro printer to print my own work . However, I must admit that the iphone continues to get better and better . The apps are endless . Too many . But like most people the iphone is always with me . A second skin . Perhaps it’s true that it’s NOT the wand but the magician . Meaning that some of the most compelling work can be shot with a Diana or the cheapest camera out there and transformed in ways that transcend the fanciest , high end cameras . In the end it’s really about seeing .

5/5Reliable, Functional and Intuitive.
My first and most important bullet point of this review: • It is not a subscription. Thank you to the developers of this app for not doing what so many other of my once-favorite editing apps have done, by switching to a $/week or $/month ‘service.’ This app is valuable and I use it often, even more so now that my tools have become more limited. The blending modes leave nothing to be desired (at least for my uses), pretty much anything in that department can be achieved with this app so long as you get creative with your layers. I’ve created multi-layered compositions with this app by inverting things and flattening one by one, and saving as a PNG to avoid compression. It’s amazing. The actual app itself can handle surprisingly large file sizes for an app, it’s taken some big images and chugged along like a champ even on my older iPhone models I’ve had. It does one thing and does it well. No unnecessary or unwanted extras. I would recommend this app to anyone, it’s a gem and should be part of your app toolbelt if you’re doing any editing on your mobile device. Update 2021: This is pretty much the only app I have now that doesn’t charge me premiums or timed subscriptions to use its basic features.

5/5Using regularly since Nov 2011
I’ve been using the app when I got my first iPod Touch with a camera and it was awesome. Then moved up to a 4s and the app stayed very much the same-awesome. I’m currently using a 6s and Image Blender has always been one of the strongest workhorses in my photo app line up. It’s fast. It’s smart. It does what other apps may include as features, except IB specializes in the one thing, blending layers. I love that they never even bothered to update the original looking app icon, only performance improvements. The only thing I wish it could improve is the masking tool. The brush to create masks is very limited in function in regards to size and edges. I don’t recall it always being there so if it’s newer it will only get better I bet. If I need to I prep images in another app to do sharp masking but NOTHING works better at traditional layer blending modes easier and better than image blender. Dear develops, seriously tho, can you work on the brush for masking? Thanks for years of awesome photo editing help.

5/5MUCH MORE Than a blending app!
I have been using this app since the very first year. It came out, at least 19 years ago. I have found ways to use this app to do high-end photo edits for my various Facebook pages and to this day it remains consistently great. Wow, the app may not be intended for that, I have truly found method to utilize every aspect of the image editing. About 18 or 19 years ago I communicated questions with the app developer and they responded immediately and added new features into the app that truly helped out.

5/5Cannot recommend this app enough
I love this app so much and I’m honestly sorry I didn’t leave a review sooner. I’ve been using this app for about 9-10 years now and have loved it ever since i installed it. Amazing way to blend and edit photos. Only thing I would like to see as a feature would be image quality retention. This app is a great first start if you’d like to get into photo editing and understand blending modes. Big thank you to the developers of this app and I hope it lasts forever. - •••
