Lens+ is suprisingly good at what it does. It’s FREE right now.

Marty Yawnick — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:42:48 +0000

Lens+ is an easy to use retro camera app with a bunch of filters that look great. I'd say it's not a bad app at it's normal price of $1.99. Right now, it's been discounted for a very limited time to FREE.

Lomora 3 update is out now. Lomora 2 users will be hacked off.

Marty Yawnick — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:30:18 +0000

iPhone lomography app Lomora has a new update. Version 3 was just released and is a major overhaul of the app. New users will like the combinations of Lomora's filter set and the many new options. Previous users may like them, too, but will have to shell out three bucks to find out. This is a paid upgrade.

Just how awesome is Camera Awesome?

Marty Yawnick — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:39:14 +0000

Don't be put off by the free price of Camera Awesome. Even in its base configuration, it's a premier all-in-one camera replacement and one of the best camera replacement apps available. If they charged for the base app, I wouldn't complain -- it's that good.

Photo App Review: Photo Editor+ – Big problems under the hood.

Marty Yawnick — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 21:55:29 +0000

The LoFi review of new photo app Photo Editor+. It's not a horrible app, but it's definitely not worthy of number 5 with a bullet. The app has potential, but it needs a major overhaul under the hood before it's a genuinely useful app.

Photo App Review: pxl

Marty Yawnick — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 20:22:13 +0000

Rather than simulate low-res pixelization or a censored mosaic, pxl applies creative pixelization in a variety of styles to your images. Like photo apps Percolator and Decim8, it's one of the rare modernist apps that looks forward in style, not backward.

Photo App Focus: PolarCam – Instant Retro Camera

Marty Yawnick — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 14:11:19 +0000

There are a lot of fauxlaroid apps and photo apps with instant camera effects. Some of them emulate instant photos better than others. New photo app PolarCam tries to, but just misses the mark for me in capturing that visceral magic of classic instant cameras.

We take a look at iPhone photo app Nofinder

Marty Yawnick — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:43:32 +0000

Nofinder is not a camera replacement or an everyday shooter. Even the developer says it is not a "friendly photo app." I think it makes a good "project" camera -- an app you can use on a photographic mission to challenge yourself creatively.

Photo App Focus: Hipstamatch – A Great Hipstamatic Field Guide

Marty Yawnick — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:36:43 +0000

The new app Hipstamatch™ is an easy to use, thorough guide to nearly all of Hipstamatic's films and lenses. If you shoot with Hipstamatic, this is an essential purchase.

iPhone App Review: Paint FX

Marty Yawnick — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:42:37 +0000

The name Paint FX suggests that it's a paint program. It has a few paint-like effects, but it's really more of a photo effects app that lets you "paint in" effects. While it has a lot of cool features, Paint FX has a few annoyances that keep it from being a great app for me.

Photo App Focus: Instagrunge

Marty Yawnick — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:23:04 +0000

I really don't recommend Instagrunge, even though it's currently free. It's only worth a free download if you have the time and bandwidth -- not to use, but to get into the update path in case the app's problems are fixed

Fisheye Camera is One of the Worst Photo Apps I’ve Reviewed

Marty Yawnick — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:52:30 +0000

Fisheye Camera is one of the worst apps I've ever reviewed and is only as high as it is on the charts because of possible App Store shill reviews. I recommend that you avoid this app. Read past the jump to find out why.

Photo App Focus: AnalogColor

Marty Yawnick — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 08:02:00 +0000

Analog color is the new iPhone version to Pentacom's popular desktop app for Mac and Windows, ToyCamera AnalogColor. It creates analog-like photos and simulates cross-processing. It's difficult for me to get excited about this app.

Photo App Focus: AntiCrop

Marty Yawnick — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:02:10 +0000

AntiCrop is a new photo app. In addition to standard crops, AntiCrop allows you to crop outside the edge of your photos, using fairly intelligent content fill to add image where there is none. I like the app, but it's not perfect. Read past the jump to find out how well it works.

Photo App Review: Mattebox for iPhone

Marty Yawnick — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 06:09:49 +0000

Mattebox is a deceptively simple camera app which gives you advanced control over your image and helps you get the best photo possible in camera. It's pretty pricey for a camera app, but it has some very well-implemented features. I don't regret the purchase.

Photo App Review: Magic Hour, a Fun and Powerful Photo App

Marty Yawnick — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 21:18:32 +0000

Magic Hour bills itself as an Instagram companion app, but it's much more than that. It's a great photo app on its own. It’s a great square format photo app with 40 one-click filters and effects.

Photo App Focus: SelectEffect

Marty Yawnick — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:35:56 +0000

SelectEffect was specifically designed to offer professional effects in a more user-friendly way. It's got some good-looking effects and it's very easy to use, but I don't think it's a must-have app yet.

Marty Yawnick — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:14:08 +0000

PicYou is a new free social photo app with photo filters, a sharing network, and Facebook and Twitter connectivity. In other words, Instagram.

Photo App Focus: Instacam

Marty Yawnick — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:10:28 +0000

Instacam bills itself as "Yet another Instagram camera with Live filters preview." It dismisses itself too easily. This retro photo app is probably one of the better Instagram companion apps in the store.

Photo App Focus: Lensograf – Free Instagram Clone App. Don’t be Quick to Click Devam.

Marty Yawnick — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:14:36 +0000

Lensograf is a new free retro photo app. Basically, it's a Turkish Instagram clone, except that many of the filters are better than the current crop of Instagram filters. I don't recommend it, but if you get sucked in by the great name, then read on for important things

Photo App Review: Noise Master

Marty Yawnick — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:43:04 +0000

Noise Master eliminates all kinds of noise from an image. Unlike many other noise reduction apps that use blurring techniques which ruin fine details, Noise Master uses more sophisticated algorithms to eliminate noise without sacrificing detail.
