Transform digital photos into one-of-a-kind works of art with Tangent – Highly innovative new photo app allows users to reimagine their images –
Designed with a simple-to-navigate interface, Tangent allows users to transform their images into totally unique art forms using a creative toolbox of frames, patterns, fills and vectors, as well as the ability to apply and selectively blend colors with ease. Inspired by the shapes of the world around us, the geometric forms are completely scalable, empowering the artist to drag, zoom and rotate at will using simple finger swipes and pinches.

This unique feature alone means that the creative possibilities for Tangent are truly limitless.
“The goal in creating Tangent was to provide an intuitive platform for people to create inspiring images through mobile artistry,” says Tangent’s creator and lead developer Ben Guerrette. “There’s an inherent beauty in the simplicity of the interface, which gives users of every level the capability to creatively approach and reimagine photos with endless possibilities. My excitement, both as an artist and a developer, is seeing the astonishing work conceived using Tangent as a tool for creative expression.”
