I love Chicago. There’s The Cubs, Giordano’s Famous Chicago Style Pizza (make mine pepperoni with extra cheese, please), and now the Chicago office of Synthetic Infatuation, the creators of the iPhone apps Hipstamatic and SwankoLab.

Friday, April 9, Lucas Buick and Ryan Dorshorst, the driving forces behind Synthetic, invited the world to the new office for the Hipstamatic Print Show to preview an upcoming feature of the app — the ability to purchase photographic prints of your images from within Hipstamatic — and to get feedback on various trim sizes.

SwankoLab, the new photo app from the creators of Hipstamatic, is on sale this weekend only for $0.99. The app normally sells for $1.99.

SwankoLab is a virtual darkroom for your iPhone, complete with excellent animation. It creates excellent analog film styled effects. Filters are applied by mixing “chemicals” and then watching your prints develop in the soup. SwankoLab differs from Hipstamatic in that you can apply effects to any image from your photo library.

SwankoLab looks to be another big app from Synthetic Infatuation. There is rarely a sale on their apps, so grab SwankoLab for 50% off now! The sale is good through April 11, 2010.
