Many a times, photos end up appearing dull or with blemishes due to light and other variables that affect the image quality. In such a case, you might want to enhance the image quality, change the light effect and remove, let's say, pimples or other imperfections from a photo to make it look more attractive. Over the years, I have used many image retouching applications, but I have found none as good as Perfect365. It is a feature-rich application that detects face elements and allows tweaking them to perfection. With Perfect365, you can change anything from skin tone, eye size, teeth color to your face smile, eye brows, enhance & remove shine, etc. Read More

iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users take their photos pretty seriously. A vast proportion of photos presently on the web can be traced back to iOS cameras. This, coupled with the fact that the iPhone does not have a lot of options in it for photo editing (natively), has led to a huge number of photo-related apps in the App Store. But only some apps stand out among the crowd and gather a reasonable fan-following. Snapseed is one, and PhotoToaster is another popular alternative. PhotoToaster has been around for quite a while but now, a free version of the app is also available. Like all good photo editors in the App Store, PhotoToaster has a few really unique features, and most of all, the app's biggest strength lies in its simplicity. You won't have to spend a week trying to master how exactly can you apply all the beautiful filters to your images, everything is just one-touch. Read More

iPhone’s camera is used for a variety of purposes, and not-the-least-popular of those is self-portraits. Ever so often, you see your friends’ Facebook display pictures to be ones snapped by themselves from their phone camera. IncrediBooth is an iOS app that makes use of the front-facing camera in iPhone’s later models and iPad 2, allowing you to shoot photos of yourself and upload them to a number of destinations right from within the app. The really cool touch? The app also offers some photo effects that can be applied even before you start shooting. The biggest positive about the app is not its filters, but the way those filters are presented. Everything about the app is designed to make it usable at very short notice. Read More

At the launch of iPhone 4S, Apple proudly highlighted the fact that iPhone’s camera is one of the most used cameras in the world and the origin of most photos on services like Flickr. If so many people are using their iPhone or iPad to share photos over the web, then iOS must focus specifically on photo sharing. Although there have been enhancements in this area with the release of iOS 5, there is still room for further improvement. And that’s where third-party photo-sharing apps like Batch come in. Using this free iPhone app, you can share photos in tandem over your social network or simply save them to the cloud to be accessed at a later time. Batch can be thought of as a service that you can use for backing up your photo library with complete ease. Read More

In recent years, social networking has been all about granting users control over the privacy of the content they share over their network. Facebook has groups and custom privacy settings now, while Google+ introduced the concept of Circles. Aroundly, on the other hand, is a new photo sharing app for iPhone and iPad that is all about allowing users to publish each and every photo they take from their iDevice's camera to Aroundly.com and, if they choose to do so, on their Facebook wall.

by on

Windows Phone 7’s camera comes with quite a number of photo effects of its own, especially with Mango. We believe, however, there is more to photos than just changing colors or rendering them black and white. PuriClub is an app that brings a sense of completeness to the WP7 photo-editing arsenal, allowing you to add colored frames around your photos as well as custom text and picture stamps. All of this, and more, for free. At first glance, PuriClub might appear to be a bit childish, but believe us, the app can be used for a bit of serious photo editing as well. It offers photo filters, stickers and a bunch of other features that make the app a good photo editor without overly complicating controls. Read More

Windows Phone 7 devices have really good cameras in general, and things took a turn for the better with Mango due to introduction of tap-to-focus. The camera in my Samsung Omnia 7 even has 6 photo effects in it! Still, who doesn’t want more? There’s always that thirst for the little something extra, and that’s what SnapFX is for. This neat little app lets you take photos with a bunch of really cool effects added to them. Now, we know there are already a lot of photo editors available for the Mango platform, so why would you want to give SnapFX a try? The most important reason for that is the app's intuitive interface. Rather than listing effects in a long and boring list, this app lets you make changes to your images in an interactive way. Apart from that, the app has to get full marks for simplicity, as everything is really easy and efficient in SnapFX. Read More

Everything You Need To Know About iOS 5 Camera And Photos App

The Camera and Photos app in iOS finally got some justice. While the Camera app to be precise,  seems like it has nothing new to offer than a mere Grid View, it has a very neat swipe feature to access your recent photos straight from the Camera app itself. We'll tell you how exactly it works in a while. The Photos app finally brings to us some basic photo editing features that have been in need for a while now.  The lack of settings in the camera app concerning picture size, or quality continue to exist  with Apple arguing that it's intentional, to keep the interface and the app itself, uncluttered.

Facebook is, as yet, the unchallenged king of social networking. There is Twitter, of course, but what sets FB apart? It’s the media-rich features of the network. The ease with which you can share photos and videos makes Facebook the number one social stop for millions of people. But if you have lots of friends added to your profile, it might be confusing and tedious to keep track of all the photos your friends are currently uploading or discussing (especially with the new update). Pixable for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch displays all photos and videos from your Facebook feed after neatly categorizing them. Not just that, it even lets you browse public Facebook photos by category right from within your iDevice. Read More

PhotoProtect: Protect Your iPhone Photos From Accidental Deletion [Cydia]

by on
Leave a comment
There was a time when you couldn’t delete albums on your iPhone without having to connect it to iTunes. iOS has come a long way since that, and so has the Photos app and its options. Now, the focus is more on convenience and somewhat less on security. This has lead to the rather prominent placement of the delete button for photos, which is more of double edged sowrd. While it solves the old problem of not being able to delete photos on your iDevice, it may also lead you to accidentally delete your photos, or if you have got children (and annoying friends), they might delete your photos just for fun. To counter such casual intruders, you don’t need to bar your Photos with complicated passwords and pattern locks; all you need is something like PhotoProtect. This Cydia tweak will let you set up a pop up message that will show up every time someone tries to delete a photo. Read More

Trover Brings Photo-Based Location Tagging & Discovery To iPhone

You might be a little confused by the the title, but you read that right, it’s not location-based tagging of photos, but the other way around. The concept behind the Trover app is unique enough to warrant a caption like that. For iOS users, there are a bundle of apps dealing with travel and photo sharing, but this app somehow manages to combine these two utilities in one, allowing users to see what attractions lie near them. And by "seeing" we mean really see, as a picture uploaded by past users! So rather than merely reading about a place and the attractions it offers, you can actually see every notable thing related to a particular area, and learn loads more that way. Read More

Google is coming pretty hot in pursuit of social networking giants. First Google+ to counter Facebook and now PhotoVine has been launched to entice an entirely different range of social media users. Photo sharing is the target this time around. With the likes of Instagram going pretty strong, this service will aim to be the new photo king with a glossy new interface and cool “vine” concept.

How To Make Any Photo / Image The Cover Of An Album In Windows Phone 7

A good operating system is one which, while maintaining an appropriate level of security and privacy, still manages to endow the users with a sense of freedom. A user must be able to customize anything on his or her device, the user has paid for it after all. Windows Phone 7 is sometimes dubbed as too strict on security and that can turn a few users away. Although it does strive to achieve a certain level of customizability. For instance, in the Pictures hub, you can create as many albums as you like, but one thing you miss out on is the choice of an album cover. There is no one-click way of choosing which pic you would like to display as the cover of any photo album. However, there is a simple enough workaround for that. Read More

Face Pic Improve – One-Tap Retouching Of Close-Up Photos [WP7]

It is human nature to try and look our best on any occasion (or sometimes even without any significant occasion), and no one can be blamed for that. In today’s age of digital photography, the camera resolutions keep increasing which implies that we can now capture any image in greater and more life-like details. This is welcome news for most fields, but not for the beauty-conscious people. More details mean that it is becoming increasingly difficult to hide any anomaly or minor blemish on your skin (pimples, scars, etc.). This is where photo editing comes in. You can Photoshop your pics, but that requires a certain amount of skill. If you are looking for convenience in enhancing your photos, and you are a Windows Phone 7 user, Face Pic Improve is definitely worth a try. The app will let its user adjust the usual image aspects (brightness, hie, saturation, etc.), but that is not its primary feature. Face Pic Improve will enhance your photos automatically, without making you do anything! Read More

Fotobank for Windows Phone 7 is a pretty simple but useful app that allows you to search through images based on categories or keywords. Usually when you use a search engine to look for photos, there are a lot of unrelated pictures shown in the search results. Some deviate too much from the topic you are searching, while some might not be photos at all but paintings or animated images, and if you specifically want photos, this could be quite frustrating. To resolve all such issues, Fotobank is here exclusively for WP7 users! Read More
