I have a confession to make – I’m a iOS photography app junkie. Show me an app that has even a little bit of cool to it, and I’ll drop a few bucks on it in a heartbeat. Consequently, I have a couple hundred photography apps!
A downside to many apps is you have to take a picture first and then run various filters on the app, never knowing exactly whether or not the filter is suitable for the image or vice versa. Thanks to David Chartier, I found a new app this morning that solves that issue – it runs filters on a live image!
It’s called Paper Camera. It’s really clever and original and I highly recommend it.
(As Erik Veland points out in the comments, “You know Instagram also runs filters on a live image, right? As does Path.” I did not know that. Thanks for the addition/correction)
I have the same problem, buying photography apps impulsively. I wish there is an app that suggests a filter based on time/day taken and also based on most often used filters
You know Instagram also runs filters on a live image, right? As does Path.
Thanks Erik – I didn’t know that. I added your comment to the post.
I too have many more camera apps than I know what to do with. From nipstamatic to nightcap. All of them, in various use cases, are excellent.
Strikes me you should do a terpstra type matrix of camera apps,
I, for one, would welcome our charged couple device overlords
“Strikes me you should do a terpstra type matrix of camera apps,”
1) I have no idea what a “terpstra type matrix”.
2) Jim doesn’t pay me enough to do matrixes… 🙂
Well yer man terpstra did a whole thing about text editors on IOS.
I’d do one for you. As I have around 15 of them.
