misskiwi’s ClassicPAN is the great single-shot panorama camera app. It’s the only panorama app with a Lomo SprocketRocket-like effect (a personal fave of mine!).

We just reviewed Paint FX : Photo Effects Editor. It’s not a paint app per se, but more of a photo app that easily lets you paint in effects. The app has layers and masks as well. An update is coming which will add higher resolution support, so this is a great way to get into the update path. Paint FX is on sale for a limited time for only $0.99 — a savings of $1.00. UPDATE: Looks like this was one of the apps that was on sale for hours. It’s off sale and back up to $1.99 now. | Paint FX : Photo Effects Editor - Sprite Labs

UPDATE: Paint FX may have gone off sale pretty quickly, but Magic Hour has been reduced to $0.99 through the weekend — a savings of $1.00. This square format photo app complements Instagram nicely, but also holds up really well on its own. The app has 40 built-in filters and effects with a built-in Filter Market where you can download many other user-created filters for free.   | Magic Hour - Camera & Unlimited Filter - Kiwiple
