Welcome on board, Kindle users!

While Google Play with lots of fancy apps is included with most of Android phones or tablets, it is not all that easy for Kindle users. Although Kindle is also Android-based, it has its own app store powered by Amazon. Unfortunately the latter counts much less apps to offer which makes it difficult for Kindle users to get some popular Android apps on their eBooks.

No workaround is needed with Pho.to Lab since both of its versions (PRO and Free) have been added to Amazon Appstore!

Pho.to Lab for iOS major update: featured artistic effects and more!

New version of Pho.to Lab for iPhone and iPad is out! The update is a major one and brings a whole new group of truly artistic effects, that were only available in DEMO mode on our site before. With this update you will also get 3 new color emphasizing effects and will notice that effects previews are of better quality now.

If you are a Funny.Pho.to loyal visitor you should already be familiar with “Featured Sketches and Paintings” templates. They aimed at turning your photos into paintings and drawings imitating a chosen technique. You can process your photo with seven of them: Trois Couleurs Drawing, Sanguine Drawing, Vintage Charcoal Sketch, Pastel Drawing, Graphite Pencil Sketch, Felt Tip Pen Drawing and Crayon Drawing.

Starting from now, all the listed effects are available in every version of Pho.to Lab: free, PRO and PRO HD, but with one tiny difference: though you can apply any of these effects in any version, you must be a PRO user to be able to save the result to your gallery, instantly share it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram or send it via email.

And one more change related to this major update: effects from “Featured Sketches and Paintings” group at Funny.Pho.to service will have a limited functionality very soon. You will be able only to preview, not save or share the result. The only way to save and share the result is through the mobile app. This said, install the latest version of Pho.to Lab, take great pictures and make them even better right on your phone!

P.S.: “Featured Sketches & Paintings” group for Pho.to Lab Android is on its way 😉
