Photo Blender solves a narrow problem well: joining photos side by side so the seams fade into each other. Limit Point Software describes an app that joins photos vertically, horizontally or in 2D by blending or abutting them at their edges, with up to 16 photos and four blend types: horizontal, vertical, 4 square and 9 square. The blending margin width is adjustable, from zero for a hard join to wider values for gradual transitions, and you can blend recursively to build larger arrays. An image editor lets you enhance, filter, rotate, draw and add text on each photo or the finished blend. It is tiny at 27.9 MB, runs on iOS 12.0 or later, and the only purchase is a one-time Upgrade to Pro for $4.99. It does not offer double exposures or layer opacity, so photos never overlap fully, and it is listed for iPhone only. It holds a 4.6 rating from 1.2K ratings. We compared documented features and published prices.
