Life in LoFi: iPhoneography | iPhone Photo News, Showcases, App Reviews

CameraBag is the classic iPhoneography app. One of the very first filter apps to appear in the App Store way back when (remember iPhone OS 2?), it was a staple in many an early iPhoneographer’s photo app camera bag.

To celebrate the launch of CameraBag 2 for Mac and PC, Nevercenter’s three iPhone photo apps CameraBag, Infinicam, and CameraBag for iPad are FREE for today only — a combined savings of almost $7.00. App Store links are after the jump. Grab these quickly! >>>

CameraBag and Infinicam, both great iPhone photo apps from Nevercenter, are on sale now for a limited time. Both apps are on sale for only 99¢ each — a savings of $1.00 off each app.

CameraBag

The venerable CameraBag is one of the earliest iPhone “apping” apps, but still a classic. It features one-click processing with 13 filters and infinite variations, including “Colorcross”, “Plastic”, “Cinema”, “Mono”, its own variations of LOMO and Holga recreations and several other filters. You can read our recent review of CameraBag here.

Infinicam

Infinicam applies high quality, vintage and toy camera effects to photos, but instead of having a set number of pre-defined camera styles, Infinicam offers an endless variety. The effects are gorgeous. The film effects are well-rendered and look like the film styles they emulate. Our review of Infincam is here.

Both CameraBag and Infinicam are still old iPhone friendly and still work on any iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch running iOS 2.0 or newer. Both are worth having. App sales often go away fast and there is no notice as to when these two will go back to normal price. This is a great chance to get one or both now.

The classic iPhone photo app, CameraBag from Nevercenter, was updated to version 1.9 today. The new release doesn’t include many new features, but does include one very big one — the ability to infinitely vary each filter. With the recent release of Nevercenter’s new app, Infinicam, many feared that development of CameraBag would fall by the wayside. This new update goes far in adding a feature to this app that iPhoneographers have been asking for, but still lets it retain its own identity and feel.

Infinicam
Version 1.0
Price: $1.99

Bottom Line: Infinicam is an excellent and highly recommend addition to your toolbox, broadening it with a diverse set of excellent analog film and border effects.

Well, at least we now know that the folks at Nevercenter haven’t been merely resting on their CameraBag laurels.

Infinicam is their new photo app and like CameraBag it applies the high quality analog film effects one expects from Nevercenter. Unlike its sibling app, CameraBag, it has a brand new user interface with much more possible variations to apply to your photos.

The Downer Theatre
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
June 19, 2010

Near Milwaukee’s Upper East Side nestled in the middle of a quiet block is The Downer Theatre. Built in 1915, it’s one of the first neighborhood theaters in the country. Most of the area is still old. The sidewalks have grown dark gray with age, but the many brick buildings that surround The Downer are in good condition. The neighborhood is alive and vibrant. A new multistory bank reflects in windows from across the street.

Updated: 01.07.11

The new iPhone 4 brings a better, 5MP camera to iPhoneography. How do your favorite iPhone photo apps work with the new hardware and the new iOS 4? I found that many of them work surprisingly well on the iPhone 4.

Some apps have already been updated to take advantage of the auto-focus camera introduced with the iPhone 3GS and many apps have recently been updated for iOS 4 compatibility.

Life In LoFi has created this searchable chart which lists how many of the popular photo apps (and even a few obscure ones) work with the new iPhone 4 and the new OS. The table also lists the maximum output resolutions and if there are any other known issues with the app. This isn’t necessarily an indication of how the apps will perform in iOS 4 on an older device, but how they perform on the iPhone 4.

See how your favorites fared below, after the jump.

CameraBag's new "Plastic" filter

.

On the eve of the release of the iPhone 4, it’s time to check iTunes for update goodies. One of them is the venerable CameraBag. Version 1.85 was released today and includes a new lo-fi filter, “Plastic”. The new filter replicates a cheap, plastic toy camera. Plastic adds a nice vignette and warm tones to the image. It’s different than the app’s original “Helga” filter which also applies a vignette but more desaturated, cooler tones.

To view more more samples of the new filter, visit the Nevercenter blog here.

The update is live in the App Store now. If you don’t have CameraBag in your toolbox, you really should. It’s one of the older photo apps in the App Store, but in the opinion of many an iPhoneographer — myself included — it’s timeless and one of the classics.

CameraBag is $1.99 and runs on the iPhone 4.

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere….

Dive bars with genuine neon signs and Naugahyde booths are some of my favorite places to hang out and great places to find photos.
