Diptic Pro Tip #6: Select Multiple Photos At Once

Being able to select multiple photos at once can be a huge timesaver, especially when you’re using a layout with a lot of frames.

Here’s how you do it (as always, it’s easy peasy):

Step 1

After tapping a frame to open your import options, tap the Multi button on the bottom right of the screen.

Tap the source from which you would like to import your photos (camera roll, Facebook, Instagram, etc.). Select the desired photos and tap Done.

Diptic then imports the selected photos into the open frames. At this point, you may want to switch your pictures around. To do this, tap the Diptic once with two fingers, one finger in each frame you want to swap. This will cause the two photos to change places. Repeat as needed.

Step 2

Five Simple Tips to Make Great Diptics

No matter if you’re new to Diptic or the next Michelangelo of iPhoneography, it’s smart to remember the basics. As such, we’ve compiled five easy-to-use tips to help you make Diptics that look great every time!

  1. Start with a classic layout, such as the layout with two frames stacked horizontally or the one with two frames stacked vertically.
  2. Add an image that looks good on its own (Diptic is awesome, but it can’t fix a bad photo!).
  3. Add a second image that complements the first image. This is the key to making a great Diptic, no matter what layout you use. Here are a few ways you can pick images that look good together:

Use images with complementary or similar colors.

Use images that highlight different aspects of a particular item or theme (parts of an outfit, ingredients in a recipe, etc.).

Select images that illustrate a sequence of events.

Use the same photo in both frames, but tweak one of the images to make it a little different (adjust color, apply a filter, etc.).

  1. Keep the border basic (or none).
  2. Go easy on the filters. A filter should generally be used to enhance your image, not be a focal point in your Diptic.

Diptic at the WWDC

One of our team members is lucky enough to attend the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) this week in San Francisco.

The conference has a huge interactive display of iPads featuring the top 20,000 apps in iTunes. The display is a rolling wave of app icons, and when you tap an icon, it presents a hovering panel with stats on the app.

After seeing and playing around with the display, he of course had to make a Diptic of the Diptic! Pretty cool, right?
