What's New

+ This app is now fully optimized for the new iPhone 5.

The app takes full advantage of the enlarged iPhone 5 screen size, and takes into account the new safe areas of this device when making safe area wallpaper.

App Description

This app has been designed and built to show off the crispness and beauty of the new iPad 3 retina display. Presented are 53 Retina-display optimized images from the Old Town in Santa Fe, New Mexico. All these images meet or exceed the colossal resolution of the iPad 3 display, and have been individually optimized for this display. They were taken over 3 days at the 2012 new year.

Here you will see the lovely jewel, Loretto Chapel, at sunset. Brilliant, detailed photographs of its interior are presented. with its miracle spiral staircase. Then there's the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, photographed in a lovely sunrise, together with detailed interior photographs. And more.

This app is fully optimized for Retina iPads and the new iPhone 5. All graphical elements are at full Retina iPad resolution, and the app takes full advantage of the enlarged iPhone 5 screen size.

You can now send physical post cards from within this app to anyone anywhere in the world. The picture you choose (from this app or from your own Photos library) will be on the front of the postcard. You enter a message and recipient address, and the postcard is printed and mailed.

This app can entertain in several ways. It's fun to flip through its 4-up browsing screens, and to watch 4-up or 1-up slideshows. Try stretching the images to fill their quadrant (4-up) or screen (1-up), both in portrait and in landscape orientation. And do search through to find and make your favorite wallpaper images.

An exclusive feature of all Pixels By Paul apps is their ability to size wallpaper to fit within wallpaper safe areas. Safe areas are the central areas in the Lock and Home Screens that are not blocked by the status bar, date/time bar, unlock slider, and dock. With our apps, you can fit pictures to safe areas while keeping their original aspect (the ratio of height to width is maintained), or you can stretch or squeeze them to completely fill the safe areas.

Stretched images have a reflection at the bottom, so that they fade smoothly behind the bottom controls. You can also wrap images, as in a gallery wrap print. Wrapped images keep their aspect ratio (remain un-stretched), but any surrounding black bars (used to keep the image in the safe area) are filled in with reflections of the image.

You can make such safe area wallpapers from the pictures in this app, and you can do this with your own pictures.

This app requires no internet* connection to run. Everything you need is included inside this application. And it's a universal app! Run it on your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, all for one low price.

A pictorial help file is included, with usage tips and disclosure of hidden features.

Order large prints of these photos, unmounted or mounted, at discounted prices.

This app requires iOS 4.3 or higher.
