PhotoRibbons is a hybrid photography and painting app for the iPhone (a native version for the iPad is currently in development). Re-compose, re-interpret, and play with your personal photographs by painting them with colorful ribbon-like forms; create compositions out of the people, places and things around you.

Every dynamic gesture across the iPhone's touch screen places a ribbon whose color is adapted from the pixels in the original photo. The appearance of the ribbons can be adjusted to work completely abstractly (free-style!) or to create compositions that closely resemble the objects in the original photo. PhotoRibbons also features an automatic mode that generates compositions based on the forms depicted in the photo.

PhotoRibbons was created by artist Jeremy Rotsztain, who writes software to create painterly digital images. It is based on an earlier artwork called Obsessions, which is a series of digital paintings created from pictures of adorable animals found on Flickr.

Features:

- Control the width of the ribbons based on the dynamics of your gesture: move quickly to create a wide ribbon; slowly to create a delicate one.
- Change the appearance of the ribbons: adjust their width, segment size, color, and more.
- Paint using the original photograph as an assistant.
- Set the orignal photo as the background of your canvas.
- Save compositions to your photo library @ 1920 x 1280.
- Let PhotoRibbons paint automatically - using an algorithm that adapts the arrangement and color of the ribbons to the shape of the objects in your photograph.
-10 steps of undo and redo, just in case you need to clean any mistakes.
-Use the colors from multiple photographs to create a composition.
