From the desk of Stu Harman, our support and coaching expert. In this article Stu provides step-by-step instructions how to import your photographs from your iPad Photos app into the BiteFX for iPad app and how to remove them when no longer needed in BiteFX.
As provided in the BiteFX for Windows software, the latest version of BiteFX for iPad also allows you to import your own photographs and integrate them with the animations and BiteFX-provided photos. Photographs can be imported from the iPad photo app (Gallery), or from the iCloud Drive (iCloud). Here is how you do it:
Importing Pictures
