Soda Springs, California – Glaze, the inaugural iPhone and iPad app from ex-DreamWorks employees, The 11ers, rocketed to the #4 rank in the iPad Photo & Video App Store three days after its release. This new app turns your photos into stunning, masterful oil paintings.
* “The paint processing in Glaze is nothing short of incredible.” – Charlie Sorrel, Cult of Mac
* “…[Glaze] is one of the hottest apps to launch this month … it’s elegance, quality and speed of photo transformation that it really captures the attention…” – Victor H., PhoneArena
* “…[Glaze] creates the best painterly effects that I have seen from any app currently available for the iPad or iPhone…” – Glyn Evans, iPhoneography
The 11ers founders, Gilles Dezeustre & Dan Wexler’s long experience in high-end feature film R&D for DreamWorks Animation translated directly to success in the iTunes market. “I’m blown away by the response Glaze is receiving from reviewers and iPhoneographers! I’m so happy our passion for visually stunning images found such a large audience in mobile,” says Wexler. Dezeustre added, “sounds like an Android port is in our future, along with dramatic improvements to the quality of the painted images and support for ultra-high-resolution output.”
