![]() We think the app works better on the iPad Pro because it has a much bigger screen (duh!) which allows you to pay more attention to details and the fact that you can use the Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro, makes the process a little easier and a whole lot more precise. We used the app both on iPhone 7 Plus and iPad Pro, and it worked just fine. It is jaw-dropping if you have done a good job. So in short, select the image, select the areas you want to move, select the areas you do NOT want to move (equally important), and hit play! And yes, you will your still image spring to life with parts of it moving. You can also change the speed of the animation in the selected area, crop the picture, and share the end result on various social networking sites. ![]() The point of having two options is that the Mask can be used for bigger areas that need to be selected while the Anchor can be used while selecting a very teeny-weeny part of the picture or when you want to be super precise. There is also an anchor option that again helps you select the area that you do not want to move – similar to the mask, but here you do not have to shade areas but simply drop anchors on their outlines. The next option allows you to mask areas that you do not want to move, or keep still – you can erase part of these using the eraser option. Once you select this, you will have arrows that you will have to place one the picture in the areas that you want to move and point them in the direction in which you want the part of the picture to move. Once you select a picture to add motion to, a list of edit options appears on the base of your screen, the first one which says “animate” is the one that does wonders. When we first started using Plotagraph, it seemed a little complicated (we really should have paid more attention to the tutorial) but we got the hang of it after we used it a couple of times, and our edited pictures only got better. The fourth one allows you to take pictures through the app itself and the last one offers you sample images on which you can practice your skills. The third icon is where the action starts – it lets you add images and cast the Plotagraph magic spell on. The second icon, “i” gives you tips on how to use the tools offered in the app correctly – yes, whatever the app lacks, it is certainly not assistance. No, the app is not VERY complicated, but we would suggest going through the tutorial too – it helps. The tutorial is comprehensive, brief, and accompanied by graphics which makes it a whole lot easier to understand what the app is all about. The first one, the bulb, is for the tutorial and while some of these can be a pain to the eyes and the mind, this one is just going to help you. The main five icons are basically everything that you can do with the app. When you first open the app, you will find a line of icons placed on the bottom of your iPhone’s screen (there is a larger array of icons on the iPad screen, but all said and done, you get the same options on both the devices). It definitely is a high-end photo editing application (hey, it is adding movement to a still image!) which allows you to edit your pictures but is not as difficult to use. Plotagraph basically meets you halfway between these polar opposites.
