Analog Camera – First Look!
There’s a new app out there today, Analog Camera, that’s designed by its developers to keep things simple…from capturing images, processing them, and then sharing them…all very quickly and with little fuss. Analog Camera retails for $0.99/£0.69 and you can download it here. Curious about what makes this app standout from like apps, I downloaded it today and gave it a test run.

Technical Tutorial – ProCam: Night Mode
Recent updates to ProCam added its “ISO Boost” feature which when activated, will up the iPhone5’s maximum ISO from 800 to 3200. This is really helpful when shooting in low light environments. A real bonus with this app is its “Night Mode”! This allows you to reduce the shutter speed…and so more light is captured by your iPhone 5’s camera sensor. Using this with the “ISO Boost” gives you a lot more possibilities!! We have recently published some excellent technical tutorials to help you get the most from ProCam, to read those, go here.

Mobile Photography Tutorial – Using Layover and Diptic To Create A Composite Image
I’ve recently noticed that a number of the digital artists are creating some wonderful composite images using different frame-within-a-frame techniques. Seeing these images got me inspired to give this a try. While I know of one app that has several of its filters that will do this for you…as long as you’re willing to accept their formatting and effects. Instead of using this app, I decided to use Diptic and Layover to create my own composite image. If you haven’t tried Diptic or Layover yet, you can download them here: Diptic/$0.99/£0.69/download Layover/$0.99/£0.69/download Since I like challenges I also decided to use just one source image…and one that in…

Technical Tutorial – ProCam: Time-Lapse Mode
In this ProCam tutorial I’d like to take a look at a tucked away feature that this great camera app gives its users…and that’s its Time-Lapse Mode. While there any number of apps out there specially designed for time-lapse and/or stop action photography, its great to know that you can do this within the ProCam platform! Time-lapse photography is what is used to capture those great videos of clouds moving, flowers blooming, people and traffic on a busy street. It does take some pre-planning to do but once this is done, the results are pretty amazing. Make sure your iphone is fully charged or close to a power source so…

Creating Magical Collage Ephemera Cards With Layout and HalfTone
My partner’s father and grandfather were magicians and a couple of years ago, we inherited their magic books. They are a treasure trove of vintage imagery and typography and I’ve been thinking of all the ways I might integrate them into artworks. One idea is a set of surreal postcards. In this tutorial, I’m going to take you through my process of creating a design for the first of the set, using LAYOUT and HALFTONE by app developers Juicy Bits. Before we begin, here’s a peek at the finished design. I used LAYOUT to create a composite, then exported the artwork into HALFTONE where I re-colored and…

Xtrafolio – Professional iPad Photo Portfolio Tutorial – Getting Started
I have had this app on my iPad ever since it came out feeling it would give me the presentation tool that I wanted to use with my iPad. And…I will have to admit that I was immediately intimated by its interface and kept putting off using it. So…when The AppWhisperer asked me to do a series of tutorials on this fine app, I agreed realizing that this was what I need to do to “get over it” and start using the power of Xtrafolio. The plan is to give you a tutorial series showing you how to set it up and then dig into all the features that make…
