App: Wall Gallery Designer Lite
Developer: George Purvis III
Genres: Photo & Video, Lifestyle

The best gallery melds the decor of the room, its furnishings, and its light with the picture layout, framing materials, and pictures. But there are a zillion possibilities. To find the best. answer these questions with "Wall Gallery Designer Lite" and augmented reality:

   • How big should my art be for display on my wall?    
   • What is the best color mat for my framed photo that fits the colors of my room?   
   • Would a narrow or wide frame face look better with my furniture?     
   • Where should I hang the framed picture?
   • Should the colors in my photo be tuned to work better with my decor?
   • How should I arrange my art on the wall?
   • How do I record and track designs?

Your wall gallery design is art. It takes thought and time to get it right. Preview it before investing in frames.

Using augmented reality, you create and display arranged pictures on the screen anywhere, even outdoors with only a few minutes of work. You automatically arrange pictures with pack frames. The best color choices based on analysis of selected pictures are highlighted in green. With a few taps, pictures are quickly rearranged, frame sizes, colors, and material can be switched, and mat styles, colors and window sizes can be changed.

Share photos from your Photos or Lightroom® Library to the app via the share sheet and find the best stock frames, mats, and print sizes for art on your walls in your room and with your colors. 

Millions of mat and frame combinations are stocked in stores. Choosing sizes and colors in bad lighting in a store, instead of on the wall where the framed picture will hang, often fails because it clashes with room decor.

When you explore possibilities with “Wall Gallery Designer Lite” in the place where it will be displayed, you are more likely to choose an excellent print size, mat, and frame with less hassle, saving time, money, and stress.

In "Wall Gallery Designer Lite", you choose the colors and sizes of the mats and frames from common ones similar to those stocked in stores in the US or custom colors. You can even pick up colors from the room or pictures to use on frames, mats, ​and walls.

You can choose to "hang" pictures without mats and/or frames to visualize how float, frameless, canvas or glass pictures might display on your wall in standard or custom size windows. When you are considering art already in a custom frame, add its photo to your camera roll, then choose a frame with a frame face size of 'none'.

To minimize fatigue you freeze reality and complete your scene design without pointing your device at the wall. With reality frozen, the background contains the last image captured, while the design capabilities remain active so you can move and change framed pictures as usual. When the design is complete, tap the restart button and reposition the scene with your completed design.

"Wall Gallery Designer Lite" is an augmented reality app for iPhone 6s and later as well as 2017 iPads and later that use the A9 chip or better. Using your phone's camera, it takes photos from your Photo Library and frames them in virtual picture frames that you color, mat, and position on the wall.

Release notes:
• Mirrored wrap (as "wrap:mirror") and stretched wrap (wrap:stretch) join "wrap:color" as framed picture face width menu items. Mirror and stretch describe the sides of a wrapped picture
• Wrapped pictures are now rendered with subtle chamfered edges and corners to mimic wrapping with canvas.
• The frame's custom color picker is enhanced to display the sRGB, HSB, Lab, or Lch value of the current color. Tap the blue label to cycle through a color's numbers
• To make changing a frame's custom color brightness and saturation easier without changing the hue, two new custom color pickers for interactive HSB or Lch color selection are added. In both the top slider controls the hue. The previous picker for HSB where the top slider controlled saturation is still available. To cycle between the color picker views, tap the blue name of the view in the lower right: H/BxS, S/BxH, H/Lxc. The names have meaning. For example, H/BxS means that hue is the top slider while the grid's vertical axis is brightness and the horizontal axis is saturation
• Colors that appear in the black region of the H/Lxc color picker view are colors that are outside of the sRGB colorspace such as "electric blue"
• On iPhone in landscape orientation, numbers in the color picker are not editable because the numeric keypad obscures the color picker. Rotate the iPhone to portrait mode to use a keyboard for color value entry
• Colors on metallic surfaces are closer to expectations. However, metallic surfaces reflect the environment, so a metallic surface color is strongly affected by its surroundings
• Resolves an issue where mat surface texture patterns scaled as the frame window size changed
• Selection checkmarks now depend on the operating system's dark mode setting. In dark mode, check marks are white and in white mode, check marks are black
• Frame sizes are now strictly sorted by width. The list is no longer ordered with horizontal sizes first followed by vertical and then square
• Reduces the number of times that custom mat sizes must be entered from the keyboard by increasing the number of mat windows with uniform borders
• Adds a new setting that toggles "ambient intensity swatches" on and off
• Improves app launch and startup
