Here’s another $2.00 savings. Powerful image editor PhotoForge2 for iPhone and iPad is on sale for Easter weekend for only $0.99. This discount is for a very limited time.

PhotoForge2 is easy enough for beginners to start getting creative, yet very powerful. It’s an excellent app for iPhoneographers with any level of experience. Its user interface was redesigned a while back for iOS to keep the workflow as clutter-free as possible. It has nearly every adjustment you’ll need on your iOS device and it has both Layers and a History feature. It’s the preferred image editor for many an iPhoneographer.

PhotoForge2 is a Universal app, meaning it’ll work great on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.Requires iOS 4.2 or later.

We’ve previously reviewed ScratchCam FX (then called simply ScratchCam) by Luna’s Edge. It’s a great, easy to use app that adds cool, stressed film and photo print effects to your pics using color and black & white effects, oversaturation and color shift combinations. Since its introduction, a lot of new features have been added to this app, including a new FX Studio module (hence the name) that allows you to explore creative options beyond one-click processing.

ScratchCam FX is on sale right now for a limited time for only $0.99 — that’s half off the regular price. This is for the full version of ScratchCam FX, not the feature-limited ScratchCam Lite. If you like the look of grunge iPhoneography and don’t already have this app, this is a great chance to add it to your toolbox and save a buck. Grab it now. This sale is for a very limited time.

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.0 or later.

There are a couple of noteworthy photo apps on sale this morning. Both are on sale now for a limited time. If you’ve had your eye on either of these apps, this is a good time to grab one or both at a discount. Neither are essential, but both are fun to play with.

Magic Hour is oddly named. It has nothing to do with the two times of the day for awesome light — golden hour or blue hour. It’s a square format photo app that complements Instagram nicely. It has 40 built-in filters and effects. Plus, it has a built-in Filter Market where you can download many other user-created filters for free. Normally $1.99, it’s on sale now for only $0.99 — a savings of $1.00.   |

I’ve been playing around with Live Filter Camera for several versions now and watching it improve. Most of its retro effects are well done and they render live onscreen as you shoot. Filters can be applied to both stills and video. The app supports full iPhone 4S resolution. I was pleasantly surprised by this app. It’s on sale now for only $0.99 — a discount of $1.00.   |

Photogene2 is the updated version of the classic iPhone photo editor. Photogene2 has been completely retooled and is the ultimate tool for handling your iPhone photos. It’s a full featured photo editor: crop, straighten, color adjustments (including histogram and curves), sharpen and denoise, retouch tools (dodge/burn, heal, localized effects and more). This new version puts it on par with Filterstorm and PhotoForge2. Photogene2 has an impressive, well-rounded set of features.

This powerful image editor for iPhone is on sale now for a limited time for only $0.99. That’s a savings of $1.00 off the regular price.

Current App Store ratings are averaging an impressive 4-1/2 stars for Photogene2 and after using it for a few weeks, I think those ratings are accurate and deserved.

Where the original Photogene was showing its age, this new version is fast, full featured, and has a great, newly revised interface. If you are currently using an all-in-one camera app (such as Camera+ or King Camera) or are otherwise not using one of the high-end iOS image editors, this is a great addition to your iPhoneography camera bag. Grab it now while the price is low.

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.2 or later. It’ll run on an iPad, but this version is not a Universal app and doesn’t fully take advantage of the larger screen real estate of the iPad.
