Photo App Focus: AntiCrop
It eventually happens to all of us. We’ll take a great shot, but when viewing later, we realize that it’s cropped just a little too tight. “If I only had a little more sky, this photo would be perfect,” we lament. Previously, on the iPhone, that involved using one or two (lesser) crop apps to add canvas and then cloning back in image. Some would call it a detailed process. I call it a PITA.
AntiCrop is a new photo app from Adva-Soft, the makers of the very good content-fill app TouchRetouch. 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.
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 billed as “the Photographer’s mobile camera.” The interface is gorgeous. It’s modeled after the Konica Hexar, a classic and powerful point-and-shoot camera. It’s sleek and functional.

Pop Camera is a collection of unique and funky camera types wrapped in an animated interface that gives the sense of an analog feel and the originality of the “toy camera.” It features wide range of SuperSampler-like shot types, including 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 12, 16 successive shots as well as a double exposure shot. Version 1.0 also includes 14 film effects.
Super Retro is a recent photo app that’s a combination image editor and retro photo filter app with a few advanced camera features thrown in to boot. It’s had a few updates to work out the bugs. It’s an interesting app with a lot of options — more than you’d expect from a retro camera app. Unfortunately, it’s still a few updates away from working out all of the kinks.
