I love the simplicity of Simply B&W by MrBWare. It’s an easy to use color-to-black & white app that’s light on frills but does a great job of converting photos to great looking black & white. I recently reviewed version 1.0 of the app here.

The Simply B&W 1.1 update has just been submitted to the App Store and should street in a few days. The app is about to get a few cool frills. Click past the jump to find out more.

Simply B&W
Version 1.0
Price: $0.99

Bottom Line: A simple tool/camera app that creates great looking black & white conversions comparable to user favorite Vint B&W — but updated and with much more flexibility.

Simply B&W is a new black & white camera/processing app from developer Mr. B. Ware. It was written to fill the void left by Vint B&W, which hasn’t been updated by its developer for a long time (although it still works on the latest iPhones). Users of Vint B&W should give this one a shot — it has a better toolset and they may find this to be a good, newer, more useful replacement to the classic black & white camera app.

After my recent post about the recent unavailability of the popular photo apps Polarize, LOFI, Format126 and EffectsLab, several readers became concerned that another popular series of apps would soon disappear from the App Store for the same reasons.

Erik Pettersson’s popular Vint apps, including the excellent Vint B&W, haven’t been updated in ages, either. Some of them will be getting an update soon.

All four of Erik Pettersson’s Vint iPhone series apps are FREE in the App Store right now! It doesn’t say when this deal ends, but freebies like this often don’t last long — sometimes only for a day, so get them now.

Included is one of my favorite cameras, the excellent Vint B&W app which creates outstanding black & white images. It’s especially nice in the 3/4 tones and shadows, where it produces less noise and fewer artifacts than other apps.

Other apps in this giveaway are Vint Shift (a tilt-shift camera), Vint Green and Vint Red apps which mimic fading in old photographs.

This is an excellent opportunity to pick up this series of vintage apps for free. Grab them now before the price goes up.
