Life in LoFi: iPhoneography

Camera Prime, a new camera replacement app from Testut Tech, is FREE right now in the App Store. It’s a pretty full featured camera replacement, and this is a full version, not a feature-limited “lite” version. It’s not ad-supported, either. At first glance, it’s a decent camera replacement.

This is an introductory offer, so grab the app now before it goes up to it’s regular price.

lo-mob for iPhone is FREE right now in the App Store. lo-mob normally sells for $1.99, so this is a good freebie. If you don’t already have this classic lo-fi app, go grab it now.

I think lo-mob is an excellent app. It features over 25 vintage analog camera effects, most not found in any other apps, including classic film effects, instant films, and some really cool through the viewfinder (TTV) effects. It’s got a lot of great effects and they’re really well rendered.

We recently posted about lo-mob’s upcoming 1.4 update. This will get you into the update path. The current version and the new update both still support older iPhones and OS 3 as well.

Freebies like this disappear fast — often in about a day or less, so head over to the App Store right now and grab this excellent photo app. Go!

Photo filter app Lenses is FREE in the App Store. The app features almost three dozen filters and frames. It saves images at a respectable 1600x1200px.

From a note from the developer, bitCycle, “This version does not work with iOS4. Lenses will be FREE until we decide to support iOS4 or remove it from the App Store.”

Although Lenses is not an app that I use often, I didn’t find many, if any, problems in my iPhone 4, so this version 1.0 of the app has some functionality on the newer OS. If you’re still running iPhone OS 3, then it’s a given that Lenses will work for you.

Either way, this is a good freebie to grab and will get you into any upgrade path should bitCycle decide to support the newer version of the iOS.

UPDATE: All of the free promo codes have been given away. Stay tuned… we’ve got more more stuff to give away soon.

I’ve used and liked ClearCam for a long time. Those of you with jailbroken iPhones may remember ClearCam from Cydia. This is the same app, available with all the functionality of the old version. In fact, the App Store version of ClearCam works better than it’s jailbroken predecessor. It does everything the old version did but is faster and much more stable. With the new camera, it rocks on an iPhone 4.

UPDATE: Wow. I believe this is a LoFi record. The codes are all gone and they went fast! Thank you for reading. Stay tuned. We’ve got some other goodies here at the office we’ll be giving away soon.

CineCrop for iPhone is a new app that quickly and easily lets you crop your iPhone photos to the cinematic aspect ratios of theatrical movies and HDTV. It’s a great cropping utility that’s a fast and easy way to give your photograph the crop of a theatrical film. My original review of CineCrop is here. I liked it a lot.

Want a free copy of CineCrop? We’ve got some promo codes to give away. How to get one after the jump. >>>

Want a free copy of BlurFX for iPhone? It’s free right now in the App Store.

I recently reviewed BlurFX here on Life In LoFi. I like BlurFX. It offers powerful tools to create impressive, Photoshop-like blurs right on your iPhone. It’s a good tool to create different types of blur effects. After a short learning curve (and very little caffeine), I found it to be fairly easy to use. Even when priced at a dollar, it’s a good addition to your toolbox.

But, it’s free today. Grab it quickly — these freebies usually go away fast, often within one day.

Negative for iPhone by Kyle Hankinson is now free in the App Store, down from $1.99. The app converts any image, either taken within the app or imported from your photo library, and converts it to a negative. Negative saves images in full-resolution and supports iPhone 5MP file sizes.

That’s all Negative does. The conversion is automatic and there are no settings or adjustments. Several other apps have a Negative effect as part of their features, so if you have one, this merely duplicates that functionality.

If you don’t have an app with a Negative filter, this one is fast, easy and for now it’s also free. Freebies like this often go away quickly, so if you’re interested, grab it now.

All four of Erik Pettersson’s Vint iPhone series apps are FREE in the App Store right now! It doesn’t say when this deal ends, but freebies like this often don’t last long — sometimes only for a day, so get them now.

Included is one of my favorite cameras, the excellent Vint B&W app which creates outstanding black & white images. It’s especially nice in the 3/4 tones and shadows, where it produces less noise and fewer artifacts than other apps.

Other apps in this giveaway are Vint Shift (a tilt-shift camera), Vint Green and Vint Red apps which mimic fading in old photographs.

This is an excellent opportunity to pick up this series of vintage apps for free. Grab them now before the price goes up.
