iOS Photography Tutorial – XnShape – by Jerry Jobe
We’re delighted to publish Jerry Jobe’s latest technical tutorial here today. This week Jerry has worked on an app that stirs up mixed emotions for him and not in an arousing way. That said, he puts it through its paces, compares and rates it – over to you Jerry (foreword by Joanne Carter). “This week, I’m doing something that I normally don’t do: talk about an app that doesn’t excite me. XnShape by Pierre Gougelet is an app that breaks down your image into various shapes – in that, it is much like Percolator or Part. Given the popularity of Percolator, it is obvious that many people like that…

Cinamatic by Hipstamatic – iOS App Giveaway
Fancy a freebie today? Well, if you haven’t picked up Cinamatic yet, the new movie app by Hipstamatic that we announced on Thursday this week then here’s your chance to grab it for free. Hipstamatic’s goal was to create an experience that truly captures the emotion of a moment that a still image just can’t. In their pursuit, they’ve found that just filtering a video clip isn’t enough. It took them three years of working with the idea of recreating the motion picture, to include creative elements like timeline manipulation and transitions, all from your mobile device. We’d really like you all to check out our fabulous Mobile Movies column…

“SWAROVSKI FOR SAMSUNG” COLLECTION LAUNCHES ON SAMSUNG ONLINE STORE
Do we need crystals for our devices? Samsung seems to think so. I seem to remember receiving some for a very old LG camera phone (before they got smart), many moons ago. The “Swarovski for Samsung” collaboration follows a successful accessories partnership between the two brands at the recent Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. The collection marks the first time in over 100 years that Swarovski has partnered in a collaboration of this scale, fully integrating its branding into the Samsung collection. Here’s what they say: “With technology and fashion so deeply intertwined, we at Samsung want to support our customers in expressing themselves through technological innovation and great…
iPhone Art Book Now Available – ‘A Small Amount of Courage’ by Karen Divine
We’ve known about this upcoming book for sometime and it’s with great pleasure that we can announce the book is now available. It consists of ’64 images loosely based on the 64 Hexagrams of the iChing. Each image is created first, the understanding and insights followed’. Karen Divine explains, ‘As an artist, tapping into your own creative spirit is, first and foremost, a matter of developing awareness. This inner awareness allows you to quiet the senses and allows the unconscious to reveal rich imagery. As Rainer Maria Rilke expressed so beautifully in Letters to a Young Poet, “describe your sorrows and desires, the thoughts that pass through your mind and…
