Susan & I are on a 4-night trip to the North Carolina coast - Atlantic Beach/Beaufort area - LOTS to do if the weather cooperates - starting an 'addition' post to my travelogue of the area, so look there for more details & pics, if interested - BUT, just a nice sunset walking on the beach after dinner tonight near our hotel's small pier - used Susan's iPhone 6 - not too bad - Dave

Playing with the camera on the iPhone 7 Plus. There is a lot of cropping and a little fidling with the filters (because I can't help myself). Overall, I'm very happy with this camera. For very little effort I got some decent pictures. Also, the 2x lense is more in tune with the way I see and take photos than the wide angle lens. I prefer shooting details over landscapes.

Does the 7 plus allow you curve the corners? Or must you use an app for that. Nice shots by the way very crisp

They're very good and finely detailed. Unfortunately the forum software won't let you download the full 12MP photos. 6.9MB is the limit. I think it's time for an upgrade.

Thank you.

I'm guessing you mean a rounded rectangle.

The Photos and Camera apps on the iPhone do not have any built in way to round the corners. There are other apps that can do this, and some of them probably have extensions that will let you apply frames or masks without leaving the Photos app. (though Photos will not display a alpha mask properly in the app, images saved with a mask will appear properly when imported to other apps that support masks.)

A quick tour of my photo editing apps shows that I don't have any that do masking or framing (though Snapseed used to). Most of my drawing apps can create alpha masks.

----

Some background, for whoever may need it.

All digital photos and images are retagular. It's nature of system we use to represent images.

There are two ways (that I know of) make the corners of an image appear to be rounded. One is to place a frame around the photo, the other is to create an alpha mask. In both cases the image is still retangular; only the appearance of the image changes.

In the case of the frame, if the interior corners of the frame are rounded, and the frame is the same color as the background, the photo looks like it has rounded corners.

An alpha mask is a bit more sophisiticated. In that case the corner pixes are given a value that causes the background to show through. The image is still present, but the appearance is of a rounded corner.

Photo of a painting, made by my headmistress/colleague. She gave it to me as Christmas gift a few years ago.

The sentence she wrote, means something like "Those who trust, see miracles every day."

These grapevines are in no hurry to show us their fall colours.

Beautiful colors! Today, driving back to our hotel was a sunset w/ similar colors - kind of reminded me of the mountains around Sedona in Arizona - been there @ least 3 times and would love to return. Dave

Carnegie Deli in NYC is Closing at the end of 2016!

This Announcement just showed up on my FB page (title first pic below) - the WORLD famous Carnegie Deli on 7th Avenue (near Carnegie Hall) is closing at the end of the year! I was introduced to this place in the late 1960s when Susan & I would do 'day trips' into the Big Apple and see a show, visit museums, and eat - lunch was often at this deli - in the 1980s, we introduced our son to the place on trips to New York City - NOW, I've not returned in several decades (just had to stop eating those gigantic sandwiches), but for pastrami & corned beef, arguably the best in the city (of course, there are plenty of great Jewish delis there - so others may debate). Below just a few familiar pics in remembrance. Dave

That corned beef looks like a mountain, not a sandwich.
