Make dramatic changes to images

Fragment has a large selection of shapes called "fragments" that you can overlay your images with for unique results. In this picture, note the swipeable navigation bar of shapes at the bottom.

Extra controls

From the same image-editing window, you can swipe up from the bottom to get to common controls such as brightness or contrast, and there's a wheel for selecting different colors.

Color explosion

Though I went a little crazy here with bright colors, you can swipe the color wheel at the bottom for much finer adjustments.

Toggle at the top

The circle at the top of the screen lets you toggle between editing the photo alone, and editing the fragment that overlays it.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
