Halftone Tutorial – A Closer Look At The Photo Editor – ‘More There Than Meets The Eye’
In the “Tale of the Tilted Lamp” I showed you how easy it was to create a great comic book style panel using Halftone. In this article, I would like to take a closer look at the great Photo Editor that comes with this app and how you can use it to change the “feel” or “mood” of your panel.

iOS Photography Technical Tutorial – Paper Camera & Pencil Camera by Jerry Jobe
We’re delighted to publish Jerry Jobe’s latest iOS Photography App tutorial today. This time Jerry takes two apps Paper Camera and Pencil Camera and looks at the mechanics behind their effects. Don’t miss this, over to you Jerry (foreword by Joanne Carter). “Sometimes it’s nice to see an effect applied as you’re taking the picture or video, rather than waiting until later to see if the effect works with the photo. (I will concede that I find you get much better results by taking a normal image and apping it afterwards; I just realize that on rare occasions, a quick pic with effects already added can be fun.)
