Every day at PicsArt, we strive to create new tools to drive your creativity and to help you share your inspiration with the world.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re happy to announce our latest PicsArt update for iOS and Android. The highlight of this release is a newly designed camera that gives you access to hundreds of creative tools right at your fingertips\u2014<\/span>and you\u2019re gonna love it! Update\u00a0the app today (on\u00a0iOS<\/a> or Android<\/a>)\u00a0to start snapping photos.<\/p>\n

We took a stroll around the PicsArt HQ to demonstrate what the new camera can do. Check it out.<\/p>\n

First, you\u2019ll find a simpler interface, with the main controls at the top of the frame. Below you can see that we have\u00a020 live effects that you can test out before you start taking photos. Want a little color splash or a psychedelic swirl? Go for it\u2014they\u2019re all at the tip of your finger!<\/p>\n

\"Swirl\"Tap on the Mask icon to choose from more than 100 Masks to add an artistic touch to your photos. We\u2019ve stocked a full library of Light, Bokeh, Border, Texture, and Artistic options to experiment with as you shoot. Open and close the Mask menu by tapping on the circular X icon in the upper left corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lights\"<\/span><\/p>\n

You can see here how we applied a shimmering blue Bokeh Mask on the left and, since it\u2019s almost Valentine’s Day, heart-shaped bokeh on the right. If you want to go for a more subtle effect, you can always lower the Fade using the slider near the top of the screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bokeh\"<\/p>\n

Up next, on iOS devices we\u2019ve got the option to toggle between Autofocus and Manual Focus. Autofocus is, well…autofocus. But below you can see we\u2019ve used Manual Focus to give our shot a bit of fuzzy blur. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Blur\"<\/p>\n

Finally, on iOS you can tap the three-dot icon in the upper right corner for Time-Lapse or Timer mode.<\/span> We\u2019re all pretty familiar with a self-timer, meaning, you get everyone set up and looking good, hit the trigger, and you scramble to get yourself in the shot.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Timer\"<\/p>\n

With Time-Lapse, you can set the camera to take a photo at a set number of seconds and, when you\u2019re done, just click the X on the top left to stop it. So for example, you could set your phone on a window sill and take a photo every 30 seconds to capture the stages of a sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Time<\/p>\n

Once you start shooting with the new camera, you won\u2019t be able to stop. Head over to the App Store<\/a> or Google Play<\/a> to download the latest app update, and get creative with your captures!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
