PhotoToaster – New iPhoneography App
The PhotoToaster combines all the essential ingredients for photo processing in a single product. It employs fast non-destructive image adjustments and provides three different ways to adjust them. The Toaster can do everything from simple lighting adjustments and color corrections to elaborate multi-layer composite effects.
This app costs $0.99 in the App Store and you can pick it up here.
Flexible Interface
The PhotoToaster combines the ease of use of a ‘pick from a preset’ app with the power and flexibility of full manual adjustments. Three different editing interfaces are available to provide ease of use for the novice and creative accuracy for the discerning professional. Start with the collection of beautiful global presets, move down to the category presets, or dive right in and adjust individual settings. The edits are non-destructive, so you can experiment all you want.
Blazingly Fast Performance
Speed is a major ingredient of the Toaster. You don’t have to let go of a slider and then wait to see the result. The sliders are ‘live’ and the feedback is instant. Selecting a preset renders in less than a second. There’s no waiting with the Toaster.
Non-destructive
Non-destructive photo processing means that you can always restore your pixels by just resetting a control back to it’s default state. This allows for a fun and creative editing experience.
Creative
The adjustments are combined to provide infinite possibilities. Your photo doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s with the Toaster. Even if you start with a preset, you can open the manual settings and adjust the controls until it’s just right for you.
