    AppsApril#29 PowerCam

    PowerCam is another easy to use app with a lot of options.  Opening screen is straight forward … 2013-05-05 at 05-58-45 There are options to edit photos, choose from the gallery, collage and capture.  Choosing to go into the camera one is given options to colour splash, panorama, face time, tilt shift or magic  shot.  Settings enable one to add date, auto review, touch, face tracking, grid and resolution management. Sharing is also straight forward … 2013-05-05 at 05-53-31 The range of effects is quite astonishing, certainly a wide variety!!! Original image …  2013-05-04 at 13-52-09 See a few here …
    So my overall vote – a great app!  Just not sure that I’d choose this one over the others I like.  As a new comer to photography apps, this would be a good purchase! Thanks for stopping by!  Catch you next time!!

    AppsApril#26 PhotoMagic

    IMG_1536PhotoMagic is one of many apps I have filed in a folder labelled ‘editing’ and not opened since purchasing.  Bit of a pity in this app’s case, because it is pretty cool – I like it! Love the easy opening screen – take or load a photo, how easy is that?? Once you’ve managed that, the screen looks like this (Isn’t Smokey gorgeous!) … IMG_1597Forty+ filter/colour/effect options, ability to play with exposure, cropping, saturation etc.  Some examples …
    Frame choices are extensive too …
    And ‘sharing’ options straight forward … IMG_1558   Overall – a great app, easy to use and if you’ve not already filled your screen with apps – one to consider!!  Just out on iPad too – that’s worth checking out! Thanks for stopping by, catch ya soon!

    AppsApril#25 Fisheye

    Another Fisheye app today – and ‘Mmmmm’!! The interface is not at all intuitive, I kept finding myself where I didn’t expect to be.  Given that I am looking at a new app every day, you’d think I’d be finding it pretty easy now! One can drag the image inside the fisheye effect, for different views …
    There are limited options unless one parts with additional cash to buy the ‘premium’ services. Two other re-worked images made ‘fish-eyed’ …
    They work okay, but I think the InstaFisheye app is a better arrangement, even if only because it is an Instagram family member (see AppsApril#19 for more info). ‘Save your cash’ is my vote today. Hope to see you back again! Catch ya tomorrow! PS – Remember if you make a comment on one of my entries, you have the option to subscribe to my blog!!      
  • AppsApril#23 Panorama

    AppsApril#23 Panorama

    Yesterday, at the Crows game (which we won!!), I played with the iPhone 5 panorama function and the Panorama (TM) app.

    Here’s the iPhone 5 effort – pretty extensive as you’ll see …
    IMG_1335

     

    Here’s Panorama (TM) in action …

    IMG_1334

    Unfortunately you’ll have to click on the icons to see the images – I can’t insert them in their wide glory.

    My verdict?  If you have an iPhone 5 – stick with it – despite it being a dismally wet day, it managed beautifully and provided a wider panorama shot.  If you’re on an earlier iPhone or other smart phone without this function, this app is basic, but does the trick.

    Catch you tomorrow??  Thanks for reading my review!

    AppsApril#22 Reflex

    IMG_1325Claiming a twin lens effect, that I am not sure is so special, this is another app that I thought lacked a twist or unique selling point.  The original app purchase only provides some film effect options (That are very nice ….)
    All other filters are 99c a set or $5.49 the lot. Like many other camera/editing set ups – great idea, plenty of options (at a price) and easy use. Simple ‘sharing’ options too … IMG_1332 My favourite … IMG_1324So again, if you’re looking for a vintage/lomo/flexible effect app – this is for you.  If you already have one .. think carefully. Thanks for coming by again!  See you next time!!
