New year, new record
As 1987 just began, "Queen of Soul" Aretha Franklin became the first female artist inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Even today, her unique voice and passion still influence soul music and pop culture.

3,2,1… Happy new year!
There's a special kind of excitement that you can only feel on New Year's Eve. As the final seconds of the previous year tick away, you get ready to start a new one filled with friends, laughter, and love.

Family festivity
"This is a photo of my son Andre, my wife, and myself in 1986, one of many hundreds of old pictures I scanned with Photomyne. Without the app, they'd be sitting in drawers, never seeing the light of day!"
Sharpy is a feature allowing you to unblur grainy or lower-quality photos – try it yourself!

If the Christmas tree is too pretty to take down, let's keep it until New Year's Eve and enjoy it just a little longer.
