Xtrafolio – Professional iPad Photo Portfolio Tutorial – Adding Captions
Time to take another look at this pro level presentation iPad app! In my first tutorial I did a bit of a “grand tour” of Xtrafolio and how to do a basic folder set-up. Given the depth that this app gives you as a presentation tool, I thought it best to be a bit more focused with each new Xtrafolio. With that in mind, let’s take a look on how to add captions to the images you’ve imported into your folder. (We previously published an earlier tutorial helping you get started with this app, if you missed that please go here). Xtrafolio retails for $16.99/£11.99 and you can download it…

Technical Tutorial – ProCam Updates – ‘They’re At It Again!’
Procam is proving to be one of those great apps whose developers are constantly working to make it even better. These past couple of weeks has shown this to be true in that they’ve come out with two great updates. I thought I’d put together a quick review of what’s new in this app. We have previously published other great tutorials using this app, if you have missed those, please go here. ProCam retails for $0.99/$0.69 and you can download it here. One of the things they’ve done is to put the Photo and Video settings under separate tabs in the SET menu. This certainly makes life easier…particularly…

Tabletop Tutorial: Documenting Your Day With Joby Grip Tight Gorillapod And Grip Tight Micro Stands
If you use your mobile phone to photograph food, or make cookery/crafting demos and tutorials, then at some point, you may face the dilemma of where to position the phone to get the best shots. The obvious place is directly above the table, but whilst climbing up and down, to and from your table top might be great exercise, it’s time consuming, potentially damaging to your furniture and props, and not great from a Health and Safety perspective. In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how I approached the challenge, with the help of two very useful JOBY products: the GripTight Gorilla Pod Stand and the GripTight Micro Stand.…

First Look Tutorial Of Analog Camera
Realmac Software released its new app this week, Analog Camera, and I was asked to take a quick look at it. So I’ve done just that!! At first look…my first thought was that there’s not much to this app…but that’s being really unfair as the more I used it, the more I was impressed with its simplicity. This is a great app to grab some snaps…apply one of the eight filters…and share it with your peeps. Analog Camera’s interface is designed to help you get into the app quickly, take your shot, use a filter…and share! It also allows the same quick access to your camera roll to do the…

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. ProCam retails for $0.99/£0.69 and you can download it here. Let’s take a look…

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…

Technical Tutorial – ProCam – Another Look!
When I first looked at ProCam I was still working with an iPhone4….and it was several versions back. Since then, I’ve picked up an iPhone 5…and ProCam has just come out with its latest update. Time to take another look at this great camera app! ProCam retails for $0.99/£0.69. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, you can pick it up here. I won’t be covering everything this app is capable of doing in this tutorial…just enough to give you a get-started taste. Future tutorials will dig deeper. I promise!! Let’s start with a quick tour of ProCam’s interface. Beginning at the right hand of the screen…and going…

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…
