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.

Artistic Anarchy: Mobile Art Collusion – Second Video Showcase
I am again thrilled to present the second monthly showcase of the best of the Artistic Anarchy:Mobile Collusion: An TheAppWhisperer Group. We were so fortunate to have Gianluca Ricoveri as our esteemed Guest Curator for “Change” June 2015. With almost 70 artistic pairs randomly assigned it was our busiest month yet! The stunning art produced is a testament to the respect and care that each artist approaches the privilege of editing another’s images. Many have commented on what a privilege it is to work with someone they may know of but have never “met”. It is also quite delightful to see another interpretation of our own work! We opt in…

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…

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 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…
