Read his thoughts as he puts it through its paces (foreword by Joanne Carter). Diana is a free app and you can download it here “If you have ever spent any time cooking, you should know the feeling of getting to the point in the recipe when you should be adding an ingredient you were certain you had, but it’s not there. “No sage! Coriander? Rosemary? Whatever!” Sometimes the result is wonderful, sometimes it’s not – but it’s never quite what…

Mobile Photography/Art – Apple Default/Native Camera Most Used For Initial Image Capture
Through our APPart Column, edited by Bobbi McMurry, we raised the question ‘do you use the default/native camera in your iPhone or a dedicated photo app to capture your initial images?’. It proved a popular question and our editor for this section Bobbi McMurry has created a pie chart clearly demonstrating the Apple default camera as being the most popular choice with 31%. This was followed by 14% Other* (see below), Hipstamatic with 13%, with Camera+ and ProCamera at 12%, 645 PRO Mk III and Oggl both achieved 6% and Slow Shutter and Provoke with 3%. Please take a look at the chart below…and please let us know your thoughts,…

Read his thoughts as he puts it through its paces (foreword by Joanne Carter). Ansel retails for $0.99/£0.79 and you can download it here. “As you might guess from the title of this article, I think it’s a gutsy move to name your app after one of the greats in black and white photography, Ansel Adams. His name and several of his images are familiar to anyone who takes even a passing interest in photography. He’s known for his painstaking attention…

Mobile Photography/Art Tutorial – Tintype by Hipstamatic: Nice results, troubling interface
We are delighted to publish Jerry Jobe’s latest mobile photography/art tutorial for our reading and viewing pleasure. This week Jobe takes a look TinType by Hipstamatic. Read his thoughts as he puts it through its paces (foreword by Joanne Carter). TinType by Hipstamatic is free and you can download it here “Last time I covered an app that emulated a particular type of photography: Polaroid, or instant, photography. This week I go back to the dawn of photography and the time when photo prints did not come on paper, but on metal: the tintype. Polaroids were all about catching the moment; tintypes were the opposite. Painstakingly staged and allowing for…

Read his thoughts as he puts it through its paces (foreword by Joanne Carter). Polamatic by Polaroid retails for $0.99/£0.79 and you can download it here. “The advent of digital photography made it possible to check immediately if you had captured a shot you liked, without having to wait until an entire roll had been shot and processed. On the spot, you could decide that the subject had been blinking or if you’d been photobombed by wildlife. Those of us who grew up before…

iPad Video Tutorial – iColorama Settings: Continuous Brushing by Jerry Jobe
The latest release of iColorama, in addition to adding some Bristle brushes that are amazing, added several new settings. I explained one new setting, Continuous Brushing, as best as I could on the iColorama Facebook group. Some people, however, are visual learners, so I put together this short seven-minute video to show the before-and-after effect of using the Continuous Brush setting. The video also shows the box which pops up when the “Warning when leaving a brush” switch is on.

Mobile Photography/Art Tutorial – Pixelmator for iPhone – TheAppWhisperer
We are delighted to publish Jerry Jobe’s latest mobile photography/art tutorial for our pleasure.

Pixelmator retails for $4.99/£3.99 and you can download it here. “Last November I started a five-part series on an app new to mobile devices (see here), Pixelmator. It’s a very powerful program, but that power was limited to iPad users. That is, up until last week, when Pixelmator for iPhone was released. It makes Pixelmator a universal app, and therefore does not incur any addition cost for those…

Mobile Photography App Tutorial – Chalkspiration and Fold Defy: Decent Solutions for Obscure Needs
If I had a nickel for every time I thought, “Boy, this image would look great if I could put it on folded paper” or “Look at the neat art on that restaurant chalkboard! Wonder if I could do that on my iPad?”, then I probably would still be penniless. I certainly wouldn’t have enough to pay for these two apps from Jixipix, Chalkspiration and Fold Defy. (Both are available in normal iPhone and HD iPad versions. They are not universal and require separate purchase.) Let’s face it – they’re not horribly done (although Chalkspiration did crash on me). Jixipix does not release horrible apps. For someone like me, who…

Mobile Photography App Tutorial – NIR: A Color Blowout – TheAppWhisperer
Photography, as with all visual media, is an examination of light. All discussions about photography eventually come down to light. A photographer will “go out to capture the light”, set up and wait for the “golden hour”, discard portraits because “the light wasn’t there”. Some photographers have found a way to capture light you cannot see, the infrared wavelengths that exist just outside the visible spectrum. It requires special equipment – in the days of film, special films were required to detect IR light; in this digital age, a special sensor is needed, meaning a photographer will usually have a camera dedicated to only shooting IR. The results are strange…
