Need some help for a software recommendation. Boosts appreciated.

Use case: Image editor on iPhone and/or iPad that takes two photos from the Camera Roll (left/right and top/bottom will be the main combos) for side-by-side comparison. Scale and postitioning is On top, a text overlay using a specific typeface with labels for "Before/After" and a logotype. Bonus if I can load a specific color palette too.

User is my non-technical, very impatient wife needing to share on socials for her small business.

She has been using Adobe Spark for years, then as it morphed into Adobe Express, it's become unusable. Basicaly, I want a simple replacement for Express that just works. (Even after defining her Brand properties and creating templates, it is unusable.)

Already tried Canva, Affinity suite is overkill and too complex. Adobe has had their chance, not managing to fix the issues during the last 4-5 updates.

Thanks gang!

The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai
