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

In case you don’t obsessively check for app updates like me, here are a few of the more significant photo app updates released within the past few days. Most of these are iOS4 compatibility updates, a few iPhone 4 compatibility updates and various bug fixes. There have been other photo apps updated in the past few days; these are some of the big ones. Check Life In LoFi’s Photo App Compatibility feature for more complete listings.

• PhotoForge 1.93 has been released. It now supports iOS4 multitasking and has a new, optimized image processing system. I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but PhotoForge should rock on an iPhone 4.
• Panoramatic 3.0.6 update fixes the iPhone 4 flash-related shutter bug and now also supports tap-to-focus.
• CameraTAN 2.0.1 now has high-res Retina display support. The update also includes various bug fixes.
• The 10X Camera Tools — both standard and Pro — got some iOS4 bug fixes but this update still does not address the flash-related shutter bug issue found with many camera apps on the iPhone 4.

While the next update is going through the App Store approval process, Panoramatic 360 by floaty is on sale for $0.99 USD — that’s a savings of $2.
