iOS Photography Technical Tutorial – iColorama Masking Revisited by Jerry Jobe
We’re delighted to publish Jerry Jobe’s latest iOS Photography App tutorial today. This time Jerry has revisted the iPad app, iColorama and updated a previous tutorial based on masking. We’re sure you’ll all enjoy this very much. Over to you Jerry (foreword by Joanne Carter). “One year ago I wrote my first tutorial on iColorama. It was on masking, a favorite topic of mine. It’s a step up in your thinking when you first realize that, rather than applying edits to an entire image, it’s possible to edit just part of an image. iColorama’s masking potential already set it apart from other photo/art apps a year ago.

X-Rite Launches Free ColorTRUE App – Colour Calibrate your Mobile Device
Thank you to Kevin Carter for bringing this to my attention. Kevin previously reviewed the DataColor app that’s very similar to this for The British Journal of Photography (BJP). ColorTRUE creates a custom display profile for iOS and Android mobile devices using a supported X-Rite measurement device. The user simply places the connected device on the tablet or phone when prompted and the measurement process begins automatically. The profile is applied to all images displayed through the ColorTRUE Image Gallery, providing the user with the most accurate color match to a desktop reference monitor, or other color managed monitors. Steve Rankin, Product Manager, at X-Rite, commented: “While iOS and Android…

reShoot Turns Novices into Savvy Video Storytellers with launch of Free iOS app
Wally World Media, Inc. proudly announces the release of reShoot for iPhone and iPad, a free video app that delivers a comprehensive solution for people looking for a simple but powerful video creation tool.

This feature allows users to tell longer form stories without needing to splice together bunches of short video clips, after-the-fact. The user-friendly functionality gives even the…

Letter to Jane – Fabulous Photography iPad Magazine
One area we have been thinking about adding to theappwhisperer.com for some time is reviewing and highlighting iPad Photography magazines. I don’t mean photo app review style magazines, I’m talking more about sophisticated state of the art digital photography magazines. There are many photography and art iPad magazines available but few that meet the criteria that we’re striving to cover here. Letter to Jane is the first one that we would like to acknowledge in this new series, as one reviewer put it ‘Letter to Jane is by turns surprising, delightful, sensual, engaging, and very smart. It creates a whole new magazine format, one totally unrelated to anything having to…

This is an outstanding interview, filled with great images too. Don’t miss this, over to you Jen, (foreword by Joanne Carter). “I first noticed Maria Flourou’s work on Instagram a couple of years ago. I was so impressed with her gorgeous work. Maria weaves wonderful tales with her introspective self-portraits. They are incredibly creative, thought provoking, sometimes a bit disturbing. She also does lovely portraits of her children and others. I chose Maria to be my first interviewee because I think she’s an amazing talent…
