This easy to use little App makes it actually possible to take decent photo-quality pictures with you iPhone 3G. I've been using the CameraBag App myself to suprprising statisfaction!
Sports an easy to use GUI, incuding iPhone's multi-touch features. The makers advertise it as being like having a bag full of different lenses for your iPhone camera. It essentially runs your photos through your choice of "filters" to mimick different camera styles, including:
- "Helga" - A square-cropped, "old school" style effect with a washed out look
- "Instant" - Self explainatory to us 'older' folks. (What we used for those "private" photos before digital)
- "1974" - It's like looking through your mother's wedding photos
- "Lolo" - Very bright colors, but not very crisp. Cool, fun effect with a wide, white border. (Great for furry animals....don't ask)
- "Cinema" - Like a snapshot from the big screen
- "1962" - Your parent's baby pictures. Black & White with extreme contrast
- "Ansel" - Black and White, smooth contrast gradients. The style of famous photographer Ansel Adams. (One of my favorites!)
- "Infared" - Kind of an inverse Black & White. Similiar to night vision goggles, if you play many military video games then you know what this looks like
- "Fisheye" - Imagine looking at life through that 'peep-hole' in your front door
- "Original" - You don't really need a program for this one, but useful for judging what the filters are doing to your pictures
Another nice feature is that it automatically makes copies of your original. So no worries about accidentally losing that in-the-moment snapshot while you play with it! Or you can take new photos from the app itself! Highly recommended for anyone who likes playing photographer, but can't always bring their "good" camera with them. Also excellent for 'sprucing up' those quick snapshots before uploading them with your Facebook App.
A great deal at only $2.99!
