Welcome to ShockMyPic

This application is an image filter, which enhances your images by applying a Van Gogh-like painting filter. The application of the filter can be inspected on this image of a tiger. (Please move the slider to see the input and the output image)

How to use this filter correctly?

This filter is of artistic purpose and it will not perform well on every daily image captured by your phone. There are some rules of thumb for processing images:

• Your images should have flow-like structures like hairs, lines or structure
• The details should not be too small, resize the image is recommended
• Upscale by factor of 2 or 3 to get most out of an input image
• ShockMyPic should not be the only image processing app, only one step in your workflow

iPhone

We support currently the iPhone (without Retina Display) and the iPhone 4. ShockMyPic is already prepared for multi processor usage (iPad 2) by Grand Central Dispatch yet lacks an iPad version. This is still under construction.

Developer Account Changed at Version 1.4

In order to sell the up to now free application ShockMyPic, we had to create a new developer account and we also had to resubmit ShockMyPic. Unfortunately, Apple does not allow to move an application from one account to another, which is also stated in their iTunes Connect FAQ. Yielding an app with the same name, but no other connection what so ever. Therefore you cannot update your old version to the new one, which is very very sad.

Mac App Store

The Mac Version is available in the Mac App Store.
