“Just GOO It(TM)!” MetaTools(TM) Inc., a leading developer and publisher of visual computing, mobile and social gaming applications including the best selling Power GOO(TM) creativity software, today introduced “Making Faces(TM)” for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Making Faces allows every iPhone/iPod touch owner to experience the joy of creative expression to enhance, alter and animate their favorite pictures, whether family or friends, celebrities, politicians, pets or any other photo of their choosing. Making Faces is now available in Apple Computer(TM)’s iTunes(TM) App Store for an introductory price of $2.99.

Making Faces allows every iPhone/iPod touch owner the ability to take or import photos and literally put a smile on anyone’s face, lift their eyebrows, pinch their nose and a host of other imaginative treatments, all in real time. Users can produce unforgettable images with a few simple strokes of the powerful GOO brushes and other tools that can, for instance, bulge, pinch or twirl the photo into funnier versions of the original. Then click on the Movie icon and get a real time animation of what’s been done to the image – it’s easy! Users can share all their GOO’d images via popular social networking sites like Myspace and Facebook using their respective upload applications.

“We knew the Power GOO experience would be perfect for the iPhone and iPod touch platforms because Making Faces enables anyone to instantly create fun caricatures of their family, friends, pets, politicians, celebrities or anything around them and make them move,” said John Wilczak, CEO, MetaTools. “Making Faces can literally put a smile on anyone’s face, even Mona Lisa.”

With Making Faces, taking a photo with an iPhone camera or importing an image from a library is a snap. Once a photo is selected, it’s easy to zoom in and out, rotate the photo to the perfect angle and finally crop the desired portion of the image. Making Faces always works on a copy of an image, so the original image is saved separately.

Once the perfect angle and size is selected users can “GOO” the image with the powerful GOO brushes and 10 built-in effects. All brushes and effects can be scaled and moved around in real time and become part of your image’s history. Making Faces’ history palette also shows each effect used and allows the user to go back and edit at anytime or use saved combinations on other images.
