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

Hello, nightowls! If you’re up late this July 4th holiday Sunday night, check out these sales and freebies in the App Store right now.

Iris Photo Suite for iPhone and Iris Photo Suite for iPad are both FREE right now in the App Store. They’ve been reduced for a couple of hours now. This giveaway won’t last very long. Click the links above and grab them now.

Snapseed for iPad, a pro-level iPad-only photo editor, is on sale through July 4th for only $1.99 — that’s a huge discount off its normal $4.99 price tag.

Within the free app Adobe Photoshop Express, the in-app purchase for the Adobe Camera Pack featuring the excellent Noise Reduction tool is now only $1.99 — a savings of $2.00 of the normal price of $3.99. I’ve reviewed it previously and at $1.99 the noise reduction tool becomes a much more attractive purchase.

And the great Halftone app is on sale for $0.99 through July 4th — a savings of $1.00. It’s a fun app and I think the best pulpy, comic-like, halftone generator in the App Store.

If you’re celebrating this weekend, have a safe and Happy 4th of July!

It’s not if the iPhone camera can make large prints, it’s how big….

Whether to mount and frame as gifts, for sale or for gallery exhibition, more and more prints are being made from iPhones. Prints and enlargements can be made from any iPhone camera. How big an enlargement you can make depends on a number of factors — the iPhone model you use, the resolution of the apps you use, and if, how and where you are willing to resample your images.

[UPDATED]

While not too busy a day, yesterday saw some pretty big updates for a couple of apps that we like a lot here: ClassicPAN, PhotoWizard-Editor, and Spica.

The Iris Photo Suite 1.2 update was also released, just as we were going to press with this post. Here’s the wrap up….
