Iphone Photo Application Part 3

Well this is the last part for this post hopefully!!!

I would like to start off with the first one "Instagram" I think most of y'all know about it!!! i think this is one of the best apps of iphone for photo editing!!! I not only allows you to edit the pics... there is a community of instagram, where you get to post your picture, follow people, find the popular photos and share your thoughts on them!!

With regard to editing... This app has a numerous effects which gives a very peculiar result, which i can swear i have never seen in any other apps.... these effects give a very dark result... dark i mean the mysterious look!!!! These effects are a bit of a combination of cross process, lomo, retro, vintage... and maybe red tint tooo!!!! but all in all there are definitely unique!!!!

This is just not it.... You not only have the privilege to have your own profile and share your pictures in the instagram community. You can also share it on various social networking sites as Facebook, twitter, flickr, tumblr and foursquare.

Second app "Pudding Cam" first of all this app is not in english! that is the only problem but yeah you can figure out whats what tho! when you want to search for this app... just search for pudding cam... you will come up with this ;). This app gives you a range of toy camera lens and films....
The range of films provided are vintage brown, blue, dazzle, noir, mono and few more..... and the range of lens are fish eye, motion x2, panorama, motion 2x2, motion x4 and a few more!!once you click your picture.. it is saved in the photo album!!! There is an option of emailing as well.... and also a pudding cam account, which i dont understand coz its in some other language.... ( m not sure if its Chinese or something else!!)In the settings i could understand was the size of the picture. So yeah this is definitely a fun app... except for the fact its in some language!!!

third app of the day "Retro Cam" this is another unique app... this app gives you 5 diff toy camera's namely "The Barbel", "Little Orange box" , "Xolaroid 2000" , "Pinhole Camera", "Fudge Cam." This app not only provides you the effects of these cam but also information about them. There is an option of taking the pictures in colour or black and white. The pictures taken are saved in the app and can be shared to facebook, twitter, email or saved to camera roll!!! this is a really good app if you like vintage look.

Fourth app "Iron cam" as the name suggests it kinda looks interesting and at first looks complicated. You have the option to change the image size, zoom, vignette. once the picture is taken after adjusting the above options you are directed to another page which gives you the options frame, film which is only cross process and a vintage look, blur and some icons to paste. You can also share it to your twitter account, facebook and you also have a tutorial picture to show what works how? This is also a decent free app....

Fifth one "Classic Toy" this one i downloaded is a free version so i have my hands-on on only 3 types of lens  but you can purchase 6 different packages which provide 6 lens each! but the app is very generous on the types of film you get to play with, you are provided with a whooping 14 different film rolls. This app really gives you the perfect imperfect pinhole type images.... which is really impressive. So again this is a good app to play with!

Sixth: "Photogami" this app has 3 main themes- Colour, monotone and Frame. The frames are not that innovative but the effects are pretty good!!! the first thing that caught my attention is the effects can be overlayed on each effect ( which you will find in the pictures from the link below) and has a wide range of effects like paint, purple haze, psychedelic, posterize and vintage. Monocolour also has a wide range as rose, duotone, b&w, noir and sketch! on the whole this is also a really nice one....

Seventh "Picplz" This is quite similar to the instagram but this has different kind of effects, the best ones are the cross process, 70's and vintage. You can share it directly to twitter, facebook, flickr, tumblr, foursquare and Dropbox. The only thing i dint figure out is how to save it in the camera roll. In a way i prefer Instagram is better than Picplz.

Last but not the least app "A sunset" this converts any picture into a beautiful sunset kinda look picture.

And yes i finally figured out how to insert a photo stream in the blog and i hope it works out!!!

Iphone Photo Application Part 1

Yes, as I said I would write some posts on Iphone Photo Applications.... Here they are.... All the applications i will be writing about are free ( I don't like spending on applications hehe!! )

The first one is "MoreLomo" recently  i have fallen in love with the lomography, so well i have a lot of applications on lomo effect. well this app... has a very simple interface which allows you either to take a picture or load a picture from the camera roll. These pictures look really awesome!!! they have this vignetting around the corner and the lighting is dark! so yeah i love it!!

The next one is the Ädobe Photoshop Express"noone needs an introduction on photoshop in pc.... well i suck at it... and have been trying to learn it for the last three days... yes this again gives you an option of  taking a picture or load a picture from the camera roll.This app gives you loads of options as crop, flip, rotate, brightness, contrast, sharpen and loads more.... The interesting ones are the effects, my fav ones are the rainbow, vignette blur and white glow.

The third one is "PhotoWizard-lite" this one is pretty awesome!!! again the same options of the pictures but the filters and the effects are brilliant. I have to name a few nice ones Hue/ saturation works pretty awesome for a mobile app... ( ofcourse its iphone so I shouldnt be comparing it with any regular phone but still!!!) You can literally change the colour really good! I ll show you the original and the edited pictures below! This has even got a histogram aswell as colour balance!!!
Now going to the effects, the thermal camera!!! generally the apps give you just a slider for the heat map! this one gives you 3 types of heat map which can be adjusted! one is the general heat map you find in the softwares, 2nd one is brown tinted one which gives a old photo look and finally one with a purple.brown tint one which gives you a classic retro look....Wow! and theres a dreamy effect which gives a nice glow, neon which outlines the picture with a neon glow and you can change the hue aswell as the amount of neon! and there photobook, gray scale and a bunch more!!! and last but not the least you can actually mask parts of pictures to change just the parts of it... just like the real photoshop with layers!!! I am definitely impressed just with the Lite version...

The fourth one is the dash of colour.... which converts you picture into gray scale so you can colour just the parts which you need... This one i think i wouldnt mind if i had a stylus to do due to the fact that your fingers are not as pointy for the corners to get the colour. so yeah its nice but you gotta maybe practice a bit!

The last one for this post is the "Retro Camera Lite"... To start off with yeah it has the same options about the picture, there s crop, rotate, size and position. here comes the best part... this app is deff for people who like vintage and retro effects in a picture.... First the "film type" this one has a big bunch of the film types.. gray, B&W, blue tint, green tint, vintage look you name it you have it.... and it really gives you a feel too!!! and then you have contrast, grain noise, texture where you can choose the feel of the texture, its colour and the ratio... this would give a very good dark effect for the pic.... Last but not the least the frame.... you have a wide range of frames available... frames from Polaroid looking to 35 mm roll feel to stained expired film look. All in all this is one of the app i really love as well!!! The only thing in this is since its Lite version there s a watermark at the bottom of the picture which you can ofcourse crop it out ;-)
so this is all the apps for this post..... rest soon follows and
Here's the link to the photo's
