‘The workhorse.  Reliable. Pretty much everything I shoot goes through Camera+ at some point or other. I use Scenes  – mainly Clarity – all the time to ‘lift’ images. I especially like the results I get running Slow Shutter work through Clarity. There are some great colour effects and it’s also great for straight-shooting’.

‘Not everyone’s cup of tea. I’ve found my feet by playing with the settings and using it for different styles of shots. To start, it’s a real ‘play with me and see what you get’ app, but as I use it more I am getting the upper hand. Settings-wise, I mainly use Light Trail with a Shutter Speed of 2 and Sensitivity on 1/6th. I’m continually experimenting with still and moving subjects. The more unconventional uses I can find for Slow Shutter, the better’.

‘Ok – that’s two apps so a slight cheat. I find both of these incredibly useful for cleaning, cloning, taking out the bits you don’t need, toning down backgrounds etc. They are the unsung heroes of the App world. Hard workers who don’t get the kudos like all your fancy effect apps. They both deserve recognition for sterling work’.

‘Iris packs a punch. It’s the app I have probably used the most from right from the start of my iPhoneograophy adventure. All encompassing – from cropping to selective colour. Great effects with good control. The adjustment panel is an essential tool  – a bit complex but worth persevering with the masks and layers’.

‘Another love affair. Textures, layers, explorations into the unknown with random effects for the time-challenged. But then to sit and play, adjust and control. There are a few Johnny-Come-Latelys in the same vein, but this is a well-thought through app with great flexibility’.
