Week #795 & #796

Week #795 On Thursday we had an idea for camera filter. It has based partly on Hatch Show Prints and partly on Gradient overlay photos. It is a pretty easy effect to replicate in any image editing software. You have your base image, convert it to black and white, adjust the contrast/brightness to taste. Then on a second layer add a gradient and change the blend mode to “screen”. Even though this is easy to do in software, it is also fun to see it being applied in realtime with the colors you choose. This allow you to better compose the image and quicker to snap and share. We’re trying to wrap-up a few projects before starting a new one. Several months ago we were brought onboard to just “Update an API in an app” which lead to a MUCH bigger mess. We re-wrote the whole thing, changed the API 2 or 3 more times and switched backend partners. This week, we finally got to the state where we can be “done”. It is now their job to turn this prototype into a product. They plan on raising money…
