There are a few other useful tools including the eye you can tap to make the entire foreground visible again. The draw and erase tools, marked by marker and eraser respectively, add a bit more fine tune control to carefully select the areas you want to remove. The wand tool is useful removing large sections of the foreground from the frame. From the masking menu, the leftmost option is a magic wand that will automatically highlight large sections of the foreground and erase it from the frame. Luckily the app comes with a few nifty tools that makes the masking process touch friendly. Essentially this mask goes over foreground and decides how much of it appears over the background letting users superimpose one picture over the other. The real meat of the editing process is applying a mask over the foreground image. Users can move this image about and adjust all the same settings as the background plus one additional option to tweak its transparency. Moving onto the foreground, this will be the part of the image that sits in front of the background.

Unlike most image editing apps, there’s no option to take a new photo from the app so users can only pick out an image already shot and stored in their photo library. Every image you make in the Union app starts with a background. Although there aren’t any tutorials to guide users, the app is straightforward. The Union app opens up to a very simple and flat interface reminiscent of iOS 7. While it might sound like a fairly complex proposition, the app incorporates easy to use drawing tools to make cutting images as simple as dragging your finger across the screen. The app uses masks similar to more robust image editors like Photoshop and GIMP that lets you edit and blend images together. Union is the latest photography app by Pixite that can merge multiple images into one artistic amalgamation. While it’s easy to edit your iPhone photos in just a few taps, there aren’t many options when it comes to combining multiple images together. The iOS ecosystem is stocked with apps that let you transform your images into anything from vintage photographs to watercolor masterpieces.
