my mostly positive review of Hipstamatic Disposable
Hipstamatic Disposable brings some fresh ideas to the iPhone photo app model and is a delight to use, but some of the in-app purchases may rub you up the wrong way, and there’s a nasty bug going round.
How to replace Instagram 2.0 with Instagram 1.x.x
A lot of people feel like Instagram 2.0 ruined all the filters. Here’s a way to get your old version of the app back.
Instagram 2.0 review: Insta-grumble
Instagram has been my favourite iPhone photo app for about a year now. It doesn’t have the nebulous wealth of filter options of PictureShow or the ubiquitous Hipstamatic but it’s simple, effective, social and fun; the dozen or so filters are varied and distinct; it includes a tilt-shift effect; it exports with just one tap [...]

(UPDATE: if you’re reading this you might be interested in a Photoshop action I wrote to sort of emulate the look of these retro camera styles – have a read of this article after you’re done here. Okay, as you were!) I recently went off iPhone photography for a while. I’d set myself the goal [...]

I’ve been playing around a lot with the iPhone camera since I got my 3G iPhone a few months ago. I got Camerabag (£1.79 at time of writing) pretty early on, as it processes images from your Photo Library or can even capture directly from the camera itself. The selection of filters it can then [...]
