About this app

Mirror Lab aims to be the most fun, easy to use and powerful photo-editing app to creatively enhance pictures, make mirror photos, kaleidoscope images and distort faces and scenery.

Mirror Lab now comes with a powerful animation module. Create smooth videos with parameter interpolation between key frames (be sure to activate video from the app settings).

Effects
Choose from 50+ filters, each with multiple fine-tunable options.
★ classic symmetries: horizontal and vertical reflections
★ ripples, whirls, stretching and other distortions
★ kaleidoscopic and fractal effects
★ 3D effects
★ tiny planet effects
★ triangulation, pixel sort and halftone effects
★ shape cut-outs, including concentric iterations
★ glitch art friendly filters such as stripes and broken glass effect
★ adjust your image's brightness, contrast, saturation, vignetting and more
★ swipe through 40+ preset options to browse through possibilities in an instant


Parameters
All filters come with several parameters to adjust, allowing for a large range of varied results.
Effects can usually be simply placed by simple touch-drag for position and double-touch-drag for size.
Some of the most common parameters you will find:
★ intensity of effect
★ dampening of effect (the further from the center of the effect, the lesser the intensity)
★ rotation angle
★ aspect ratio


Ease of use
Compose filters for endless creative options. The + button reapplies an effect immediately - some effects like to be stacked!
The app has a powerful undo system allowing you to track back at any time.
Please note that the top and bottom toolbars can scroll. There are a lot of effects to the right of the bottom bar!


PRO Version
Available as an in-app purchase, the PRO version comes with extra filters, extra parameters, higher resolutions and lossless file saving (PNG).

Ratings and reviews

I was very surprised by this app. I thought this app might be decent, but this defied all my expectations. I love it, it has so many great features, easy to use, you can do so much including basic photo editing tools. But that is the least of it, the features allow you to distort a photo in many different creative ways. I have been able to make some very interesting art using this. All the example photos displayed on the app page on Google play are all possibilities and relatively easy to do. To clarify if anyone was wondering, you can import photos from anywhere or use you own photo.

Hands down the BEST (only!) abstract graphics app I have ever seen or used. I've done digital graphics for 25+ years, and I can use one base image and create an infinite amount of incredible pieces and enjoy every second of it. Don't believe me? install the free version of Mirror Lab and spend 10 minutes with it. It is easy to use, it will be a learning curve to.master every possible nuance, but in 1 minute from loading an image to work with, I had results I had never imagined! PC version???

As an app for editing, very good appeal, mixed with other applications. The basic functionality is pretty amazing on the basic level, and with a bit of thought I've created a few album covers using this. Some points the application will freeze, but I suspect at least 75% is basic human error for me on a phone screen. Would consider trying on a larger tablet size, probably will at some point. As of now, I believe it works for a creative tool, plus a few extras to explore.
