Turn your photos into custom gradients with Adobe Capture for iOS

A new feature available to Adobe Capture for iOS will help turn the photos you take into inspiration for your art. The beta version of the app now has a gradient extraction tool that turns your photos into custom gradients. You can save these in a variety of formats, including as an image, SVG with the gradient embedded, or CSS code. And when the feature officially launches, you can save the gradient in your Library, too.

To access the feature, head to the Colours module. Look for the colour mode icon in the toolbar that can switch into gradient capture mode. You can have the app find a gradient for you or swipe the screen to do it on your own. Adobe Capture also gets integration with Behance, allowing you to showcase "inspiring projects created with Capture and enabling creatives to like, comment, and follow new artists directly within the app."

Looks like there’s something useful coming in the next big iOS 12 update. Tap Down Under found within the code of iOS 12.3 hints that Apple might support EMV payment cards within Apple Pay Express Transit. This feature lets users pay for public transportation fare in New York and other areas where EMV is an option. It also lets you set a preferred card to use, so you don’t use your usual card for subway rides. There is no guarantee it’s coming yet or when. iOS 12.3 has had four betas already but the final version hasn’t been announced yet.

This plan though could coincide with a bigger plan to add more mass transit cards to its network. Rumour has it that this will be coming in iOS 13. For now, we have to wait and see if there’s any truth to that.
