Finger Focus ★★★★☆ ($.99 / App Store) for the iPhone is an image editing app with a very specific function; focus and blur. Blurring out the background or certain elements of a photo or focusing on objects tend to significantly enhance photos. Usually this could only be done with expensive cameras - not mobile phones. Finger Focus makes it exceedingly easy to accomplish great blur and focus effects just by touching / rubbing the wanted parts just like Color Splash. Other features include contrast, brightness and saturation controls.
Flare ★★★☆☆ ($.99 / App Store) for the iPhone is a camera app that captures HDR (High Dynamic Range) filming video effects. Flare uses an image-processing algorithm to try to perform real time HDR effects. Considering its just an app, it works decently but compared to high quality HDR photos it pails in comparison - not surprisingly. It still is an awesome addition to your video / photography app collection if your a collector. Currently Flare shoots in only 640x360 with a frame rate 24fps on the iPhone 4. With some tweaks and updates in the future, this app could be a truly amazing camera.
360 Panorama ★★★★☆ ($1.99 / App Store) for the iPhone is a full featured panoramic camera app capable of taking full 360 degree images. There are nearly a dozen other apps that offer panoramic pictures for the iPhone but this is by far the best one, arguably better than Pano. The ease of taking pictures is effortless, you just pan the from left to right (or even up and down) to the desired areas of your shot like your filming video. Then the app does the rest of the work by “stitching” your shots into one beautiful and interactive photo. If your even slightly into iPhonography, 360 Panorama belongs side by side with your other photography apps.
Flickr Photo Map ★★★☆☆ ($4.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPad is a way to browse and search Flickr photos in a very visual way using the power of Google Maps. Sort of like Google Street View but sort of not. The world wide photos available in this app is from people like you and me, anyone with a Flicker account with properly tagged photos will pop up in specified locations. Its a truly unique and fun way to see photos (from ordinary to professional photographers) in just about any part of the world. The only issue is the somewhat frequent crashing with heavy use, but the app is good enough to warrant a purchase.
Color Splash ★★★★☆ ($.99 / App Store) for the iPhone is a photography app that lets you remove color from any photograph so that only the area you want is colored. Almost seems magical but anyone can use it with great results with out the complexity or knowledge required with something like Photoshop. When you first load an image it starts out black and white, then you touch / rub the areas you want the color to come back to. Color Splash works great because of the well designed multi-touch user interface that is very accurate and a joy to use.
Photoshop PSD Viewer ★★★★☆ ($.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPad an app that lets you view Photoshop documents (PSD). Not even the Photoshop Express iPhone app can do this! This could be an immensely useful app for designers or anyone needing to view PSD files on their iOS device. Files can be via mail, Safari, Dropbox and all other external utilities. Shows in CMYK, RGB or CIE lab colors with zooms to 1000%.
