iOS – Effects Camera – New

This is a new photography app that’s just hit the iTunes app store and it looks good, retro photographs always attract us with their magic and certain hypnotic beauty. Pale, slightly blurred, scratched, they always keep a mysterious charm of the past epochs. Effects Camera app offers you the opportunity to combine the magical atmosphere of ancient times with the modern digital wonders.

Three-dimensional combination of flares, films and lens in shooting mode and 10,000 effects available in the Dark Room laboratory will allow you to achieve a perfect resemblance to the ancient images that received photographers of the last century due to glass plates, complex chemical mixtures, and old camera models. An astonishing variety of artistic opportunities accomplished in a smooth and practical interface.

This app retails for $0.99/£0.69 and you can download it here.

    Joanne, This app looks good but on reading the blurb it states that it supports 960 / 960 resolution. I wonder if that means it does not support full iPhone4 /4s resolution. If that is the case I would not be buying it until it does support full resolution. Gerry

    Will be in touch soon on other matters.

    Just curious about the same thing. Does this app take all it’s pictures on 960×960 and then scales them up or is it just for the “burst” mode?

    Thanks!
