AnyShape – Photo Editor – iOS Tutorial – Using The Selection Tool & FX Filters
In this tutorial, the third in a series (if you’ve missed the others, go here), I am going to have some fun using Any Shape’s selection tool and its FX filters. I won’t be covering how to use the selection tool in any detail or the FX filters as I’ve already been there in the first two tutorials. So I’ll be moving through some steps pretty quickly. There are five separate “stages” to this project, each will have the same work flow sequence but on a different part of the image. I tell you this now so if you get the sequence down after the first or second “stage”, feel…
AnyShape – Photo Editor – Tutorial – Putting The Crop Tool To Work!
In my first Any Shape tutorial, see here, I spent time taking an overall look at Any Shape’s selection tool and its FX library. In this article, I’d like to take a look at using its cropping tools to create digital “stamps” that you can use in your digital college projects. We hope you feel inspired to try AnyShape – Photo Editor for yourself after reading this tutorial. You can download it here, it retails for $1.99/£1.49. Step 1 I went into my photo library and pulled up this image, Faded Beauty that I posted on my website back in July. To bring this into Any Shape, click on…

Tutorial – Technical – Layover – A First Look
For a long time there were only a couple of apps that everyone seemed to use when they wanted to blend layers. Apps like Iris, Image Blender, and Juxtaposer. Each of these have their strengths and are quite dependable blenders. However, you can only blend two layers at a time when using these which can slow you down if, you’re working with more than two layers while building your image. Recently the same folks, Peak Systems, that brought us Diptic introduced a new blending app, Layover. It’s been out long enough to work out some of its newness and was updated back in mid-October. What’s special about Layover is that…
Tutorial – Technical – ProCam
ProCam has been designed by Samer Azzam, the developer of Any Shape, to look and feel like a real pocket camera. After taking a look at this app for my new Technical Tutorial section of The App Whisperer I would have to agree that this is a nifty replacement camera app for your iPhone! The app has recently been updated too for the iPhone5 and iOS 6….however, I still don’t have my iPhone5 so I couldn’t take full advantage of what this app has to offer. In any case, let’s take a look at this app! The tutorial relates to the latest version of ProCam V 1.5 that was updated…
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. I also want to show you how the different paper styles available in Halftone and the dot settings can also be put to use! Sounds like a lot to cover in one article…and it is! So I’ll be moving through some things pretty quickly with the suggestion that you open…
Halftone Tutorial – ‘The Tale of the Tilted Lamp…’
Growing up as a kid in small town America during the late 60’s-early 70’s, the greatest thing ever for my friends and myself was to scrounge up enough money on a summer’s afternoon…and then ride our bikes to the corner drugstore. There, we’d squander our funds on comic books and a fountain Coke. Back then…comic books where perfect. Good guys where good. Bad guys bad. Nothing in-between. And all the women were beautiful. (Not that we cared about this…much.) The only real controversy was D.C. comics vs. Marvel. Superman vs. Capt. America. Thinking back, I realize why I have always wanted to be a comic book writer. I love comic…
ProCamera for iPhone – Tutorial – Getting To Grips With It
Several weeks ago, I wrote an article for TheAppWhisperer about the then brand new ProCamera for iPad app (see here if you missed that). Ms. Carter has asked me to take a look at the iPhone version. So I did! Now…if you are a long-term user of ProCamera, you probably won’t learn much from this article…but if you are looking for a versatile all-in-one app, then read on! If you haven’t purchased ProCamera for iPhone yet, you can do so here. It retails for $2.99/£1.99. First off, I wanted to see what the camera side of this app was all about. The opening screen is very similar…
Tutorial – AnyShape – Photo Editor – Learning How To Use This Great App
Any Shape…now here is an app that I would call a real “sleeper”. I didn’t expect this to be as good and as versatile when I first looked into it for The AppWhisperer…but the more I used it…the more impressed I became!! Any Shape utilizes a bezier selection tool function that allows you to fine tune your cropping masks to a level normal found with desktop editors. This in itself is a great thing…but then it goes a bit further with a great selection of filters that you can apply in-app as well. What I want to do in this tutorial is to give a quick overview on using the…
Pop Dot Comics Tutorial – Step By Step To Having Fun
It seems more and more that app developers are trying to out do each other with all the “bells and whistles” they’re putting into new apps…and I’m sure this will escalate with IOS 6 and the capabilities of iPhone 5. So I’m always happy when I run into an app that is designed for serious fun…and nothing more. Pop Dot Comics by JixiPix is just that type of app! I recently downloaded the app and thought it would be fun to try it out on this image! (I’m not going to show you the final until the end…but don’t worry, this isn’t a long tutorial!) If you would like to…
