App Update: Etchings update adds new filters, improved output and iPad support

Press release: Halifax, Canada, December 13, 2012 — The latest version of Etchings allows users to create even more impressive works of art from any photo. The app now emulates etching and engraving techniques even more beautifully, with richer lines, higher-resolution output and many more options to experiment with. Etchings now supports eight languages and takes full advantage of the larger screens available on iPad and iPhone 5.

The incredibly supportive Etchings user community have been vocal both in their love for the unique effects the app can create as well as the new features they wanted to see. Users asked for higher-resolution output: the new version of the app can export the original image size exactly (up to 3300x3300 px). Etchings enthusiasts wanted more options for their photos, and the latest version allows the user to fine-tune the brightness and contrast of the source image, and includes four stunning new filters.

“We’ve been awed by the incredible demand for Etchings, which is why we’re very pleased to give our loyal users just what they need to make even more amazing works of art. We’re especially happy to let our customers experience the app in their native language and on their favourite devices,” said Bill Wilson, the leader of the team behind Etchings.

In addition to the free improvements, Etchings now includes six brand-new handcrafted filters in the Florence FX Pack, which you can purchase from within the app for just $0.99 USD or local equivalent. From the soft tones of the “Alice” filter to the funky rainbow “Sorbet” filter, this pack opens up even more possibilities to amaze your Instagram followers.

Etchings 1.5 is now available worldwide on the App Store for $0.99 USD or local equivalent. Etchings is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices running iOS 5.0 and later.

I really like Etchings, and this is an excellent update, but I sure do wish they offered a way to turn off some of the filters. The money and the stamp are so cheesy.

I love this app but in my works I never use the square (1:1) format.
Awaiting that the developer give the option to work on other formats

@Norbu56 You can now export your images using their original shape/aspect ratio. Once you have the look you want just tap "advanced export" from the share menu and toggle the square crop off. This will also save your images using the same aspect ratio as the original and at maximum resolution.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Bill
