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…

Big Lens – Tutorial – Using Blur To Improve Your Mobile Images
A few days ago I was having a lovely conversation with my very good IG friend Ian Garrington (@iangarrington on Instagram), about the various blurring apps that one can find around. At one point he said something that made me come up with an idea, one of those moments when a light-bulb lights up over your head… If you are in the business of completing online surveys or if your job requires you to view webpages continuously in a day, then you probably got your fingers hurting because of endless mouse clicking. Auto Clicker download could be the solution to your painfully repetitive task. So here it is, the first…

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…
