Biblio Times 1.6 brings a third magazine. Plate is a magazine of photographs: it is set from sources that send large pictures with their stories, design, architecture and photography to begin with, and it prints each story's photographs where the publisher set them, with their captions beside them. In a list of buildings, each picture sits by its own entry.
Tap the paper's name and choose New magazine, and Plate as its style; with Press Founder the menu says New paper, and under Printed as you choose A magazine. It starts you off with sources under Pictures, and you can add any site of your own whose feed carries pictures. Plate comes on white paper or on black; choose when you make it, or later in the menu under the magazine's name.
On iPad and on the Mac, where a story is set in two columns, a wide photograph now runs across both, with its caption under it, and two that come together sit side by side, as a printed magazine sets them. The words carry on below. A heading no longer ends a page with its text overleaf, and the grid of other stories some sites put after a story is left out.
Tap any picture to see it whole, then swipe through the rest of the story's. Spread two fingers, or tap twice, to look closer, and swipe up or down to put it away. A cover takes a photograph only when it is big enough to print sharp, asking the site for its full size first; otherwise the cover is set in type, as the magazine's own. Bicycle and Signal print their stories' photographs too, and Bicycle can print them in colour.
Also in this edition: your paper is one paper on all your devices, and Handoff picks a story up on the next. Share now sends a clipping, pinned up like a cutting from the paper. Taiwan has a page in Sources. And on iPhone and iPad there is a Plate icon, which follows dark and tinted Home Screens.
Plate is a magazine like Bicycle and Signal: the Press Pass prints your paper and one magazine, and Press Founder up to nine papers and magazines. The Press Pass is US$19.99 and Press Founder is US$79 until 16 November, then US$99. Both are bought once. Biblio Times 1.6 is with Apple for review, and will be on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac once it is through. More about the paper at biblio.ink/times.
