Our latest update takes advantage of the new iOS 8 photo extensions and allows you to use Diptic directly in the Photos app. With this unique feature you can make a two-frame Diptic, which has your original photo in one frame and a pinned map of where you took the photo in the second frame.
We thought this simple feature would be a fun way to try out the new photo extensions and provide a new feature that’s a little different. You can think of it like a digital postcard – a new way to document and share where you took your pictures.
If this sounds like fun, here’s how you use the new feature.
How to Enable the Feature:
- Select a photo in your Photos app and tap “Edit”
- Tap the “More” Button on the top left corner and then tap More in the menu.
- Turn Diptic to ON and tap Done. Now the fun can start!
- Tap Diptic to generate a two-frame Diptic.
Add and Move a Pin
If the picture wasn’t taken with your device, you can manually drop a pin on the map. To do this, tap and hold on the part of the map where you want the pin and one will appear after a few seconds.
To move a pin, tap and hold the pin until it “pops up,” and then move it to the desired location.
How to Swap the Photo and the Map
If you want a square Diptic, tap the Square button on the bottom right corner. If you change your mind, tap the Natural button.
Create a Square Diptic
If you want a square (rather than rectangle) Diptic, tap the Square button on the bottom right corner. If you change your mind about making it square, tap the Natural button.
When you save a Square image, we add some extra padding on the edges of the image so that the map and image preserve their original aspect ratio while allowing you to share an image that is perfectly 1:1.
About Saving Images
The iOS 8 photo extensions feature allows for apps to save their adjustments on top of the original image, which prevents duplication. This greatly improves Photos organization on iOS and allows for all apps to access edited images. This also means that when Diptic applies an edit to the image, you will see this saved image in place of your original image. Note: This does not overwrite your original image file — these adjustments are non-destructive.
Revert Your Changes
If you would like to revert any changes you have made, tap the 'Edit' button on the edited image. In the image editor on the bottom right corner, you should see a Revert button. Tap this button to restore the original image.
Now we want to hear from you.
What do you think of this new feature and/or photo extensions in general?
What would you like to see in a Diptic photo extension?
If you have any comments, questions or feedback, shoot us an email at [email protected].
We look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!

Today we released an update for Diptic for iPhone and iPad. This update takes advantage of new iOS 8 features and includes several enhancements. Here’s what you’ll see in the update:
- Diptic is now optimized for iOS 8
- Diptic now pulls in the edited version of photos that were edited in the Photos app. (Diptic previously imported the unedited version, so we’re pretty excited about this update.)
- Diptic now uses the iOS 8 Share Sheet, which provides a more streamlined, user-friendly way to share your collages. It also includes all available apps on your phone in addition to our existing sharing features.
- You can use Diptic directly in your Photos app to create a two-frame collage. One frame shows the original photo and the other frame has a pinned map of where you took the photo. We'll share more on this in its own blog post tomorrow.
- Improved brightness, contrast, color and saturation sliders
- Bug fixes and performance improvements
A note on the previous blog post regarding the Camera Roll:
- This update corrects the iOS 8 issue for Diptic where the app was no longer able to access all your photos. All of your photos can now be accessed in the album 'All Photos' (as opposed to Camera Roll).
- Diptic PDQ & Diptic Video updates that include fixes for this issue are still awaiting approval from Apple. Apple released (and then pulled) iOS 8.0.1 which fixed the issue at an OS level (iOS 8.0 prevents apps from accessing all their photos). This will likely be fixed in 8.0.2 when released. Our apps' updates also fix this issue independently and should be out soon.

A circle is easy to make:
Draw a curve that is 'radius' away
from a central point.
from a central point.
And so:
All points are the same distance
from the center.
from the center.
In fact the definition of a circle is
Diptic 2 0 15
Circle: The set of all points on a plane that are a fixed distance from a center.
Circle on a Graph
Let us put a circle of radius 5 on a graph:
Now let's work out exactly where all the points are.
We make a right-angled triangle:
And then use Pythagoras:
x2 + y2 = 52
There are an infinite number of those points, here are some examples:
x | y | x2 + y2 |
---|---|---|
5 | 0 | 52 + 02 = 25 + 0 = 25 |
3 | 4 | 32 + 42 = 9 + 16 = 25 |
0 | 5 | 02 + 52 = 0 + 25 = 25 |
−4 | −3 | (−4)2 + (−3)2 = 16 + 9 = 25 |
0 | −5 | 02 + (−5)2 = 0 + 25 = 25 |
In all cases a point on the circle follows the rule x2 + y2 = radius2
We can use that idea to find a missing value
Example: x value of 2, and a radius of 5
Values we know:22 + y2 = 52
Square root both sides: y = ±√(52 − 22)
y ≈ ±4.58..
(The ± means there are two possible values: one with + the other with −)
And here are the two points:
More General Case
Now let us put the center at (a,b)
So the circle is all the points (x,y) that are 'r' away from the center (a,b).
Now lets work out where the points are (using a right-angled triangle and Pythagoras):
It is the same idea as before, but we need to subtract a and b:
(x−a)2 + (y−b)2 = r2
And that is the 'Standard Form' for the equation of a circle!
It shows all the important information at a glance: the center (a,b) and the radius r.
Example: A circle with center at (3,4) and a radius of 6:
Start with:
(x−a)2 + (y−b)2 = r2
Put in (a,b) and r:
(x−3)2 + (y−4)2 = 62
We can then use our algebra skills to simplify and rearrange that equation, depending on what we need it for.
Try it Yourself
'General Form'
Diptic 2 0 100000
But you may see a circle equation and not know it!
Because it may not be in the neat 'Standard Form' above.
As an example, let us put some values to a, b and r and then expand it
Example: a=1, b=2, r=3:(x−1)2 + (y−2)2 = 32
Gather like terms:x2 + y2 − 2x − 4y + 1 + 4 − 9 = 0
And we end up with this:
x2 + y2 − 2x − 4y − 4 = 0
It is a circle equation, but 'in disguise'!
So when you see something like that think 'hmm .. that might be a circle!'
In fact we can write it in 'General Form' by putting constants instead of the numbers:

Going From General Form to Standard Form
Diptic 2 0 1 Sezonas
Now imagine we have an equation in General Form:
x2 + y2 + Ax + By + C = 0
How can we get it into Standard Form like this?
(x−a)2 + (y−b)2 = r2
The answer is to Complete the Square (read about that) twice .. once for x and once for y:
Example: x2 + y2 − 2x − 4y − 4 = 0
Put xs and ys together:(x2 − 2x) + (y2 − 4y) − 4 = 0
Now complete the square for x (take half of the −2, square it, and add to both sides):
(x2 − 2x + (−1)2) + (y2 − 4y) = 4 + (−1)2
And complete the square for y (take half of the −4, square it, and add to both sides):
(x2 − 2x + (−1)2) + (y2 − 4y + (−2)2) = 4 + (−1)2 + (−2)2
Tidy up:
Finally:(x − 1)2 + (y − 2)2 = 32
And we have it in Standard Form!
(Note: this used the a=1, b=2, r=3 example from before, so we got it right!)
Unit Circle
If we place the circle center at (0,0) and set the radius to 1 we get:
(x−a)2 + (y−b)2 = r2 (x−0)2 + (y−0)2 = 12 x2 + y2 = 1 Which is the equation of the Unit Circle |
How to Plot a Circle by Hand
1. Plot the center (a,b)
2. Plot 4 points 'radius' away from the center in the up, down, left and right direction
3. Sketch it in!
Example: Plot (x−4)2 + (y−2)2 = 25
The formula for a circle is (x−a)2 + (y−b)2 = r2
So the center is at (4,2)
And r2 is 25, so the radius is √25 = 5
So we can plot:
- The Center: (4,2)
- Up: (4,2+5) = (4,7)
- Down: (4,2−5) = (4,−3)
- Left: (4−5,2) = (−1,2)
- Right: (4+5,2) = (9,2)
Now, just sketch in the circle the best we can!
How to Plot a Circle on the Computer
We need to rearrange the formula so we get 'y='.
We should end up with two equations (top and bottom of circle) that can then be plotted.
Example: Plot (x−4)2 + (y−2)2 = 25
So the center is at (4,2), and the radius is √25 = 5
Rearrange to get 'y=':
Move (x−4)2 to the right: (y−2)2 = 25 − (x−4)2
(notice the ± 'plus/minus' ..
there can be two square roots!)
there can be two square roots!)
So when we plot these two equations we should have a circle:
- y = 2 + √[25 − (x−4)2]
- y = 2 − √[25 − (x−4)2]
