About it
The Picture lab shows a page, a photo, a GIF or a video as Gaussian splats: thousands of small, flat, colored discs, the same stuff every splash here is made of. A document's paper becomes a smooth sheet of large splats in the paper's own color, and every pixel of ink becomes one small splat of its own color, a hair in front. A photo gets one splat per pixel.
Double-tap the page to fill the screen with it; zoom in and it is rebuilt sharper. Open a PDF, a photo, a GIF or a video of your own in the Splash tab, or paste a web address. Your files stay on your device: nothing is uploaded. Sample picks a PDF or a photo.
Turn on Pop out with its button at the right of the stage and tap a picture to raise it off the page in 3D; tap it again to lay it back. Draw a box raises anything else, and Pop-up layers splits one into cutout cards. Drag a risen figure to tilt the view; the Depth slider adds relief.
