New iPhone Photo App: Exif & IPTC Metadata Browser

DateSaturday, July 31, 2010 at 1:00PM

Description from the AppStore: Read the metadata in your pictures. Works on iOS 4 for images taken with the camera and imported with the camera connection Kit.

You will get all the kinds of metadata readable in your image, including:

  • Exif metadata (aperture, speed, maker, date...)
  • IPTC metadata (Headline, By_line, credits, ...)
  • GPS Metadata (longitude, latitude, date, accuracy, direction)

and more info.

Note: Due to the way iTunes seems to work, all images imported from that software have absolutely no IPTC or Exif Metadata. And GPS is reduced.

iOS 4 ONLY

AppStore Link: Exif & IPTC Metadata Browser - Price: FREE

Editors comments: When this app was released yesterday it was priced at $0.99.  Today it is FREE, so if you want to be able to read your iPhone's photos Exif & IPTC Metadata, then check this app out.

Macworld magazine cover shot on an iPhone

DateThursday, July 29, 2010 at 11:05PM

Check this out!! The September edition of Macworld magazine (the US edition) was shot by professional Peter Belanger, using an iPhone 4.  Peter said "I’ve always thought it would be cool to photograph the cover of Macworld magazine using an iPhone as my camera. When the new iPhone 4 was released with the 5MP camera, the editors at Macworld were excited to see if it could be done", and as the cover shot below shows, the answer to their question was, "yes it can be done".

To see photos and read about the shoot, check out Peter's blog.

App Update: FILM LAB

DateThursday, July 29, 2010 at 8:03AM

FILM LAB which I reviewed here has just had a major update.  The update includes bug fixes and full-res support on the iPhone 4, and now has a total of 351 films/filter effects.

The app now contains some new film brands like Calotype, FORTE, GAF and Rollei, which sit alongside the existing films from Kodak, Agfa, Ilford etc., but the best bit is, they are now grouped, making it much easier to find your preferred film type or filter effect by either film brand or effect style.

The last update to this app was pretty impressive, making it a must have app, but now these updates have made it a MUST have app, so if you don't already own FILM LAB, then what are you waiting for, go grab a copy now!!

AppStore Link: FILM LAB - Price: £0.59/$0.99/€0.79

LOMORA: No more points

DateWednesday, July 28, 2010 at 7:49AM

Finally after all the uproar, developer Marvin Lee has scrapped the points system he introduced in to LOMORA v1.5, with todays release of LOMORA v1.6, Marvin says "all films, filters and flash are absolutely free now", there are "no more points system" and "no more In-App Purchase".

Even the app description has been updated, and now says:

"LOMORA brings LOMO to the digital world. Cross-processing is a method to develop color print or slide film with the wrong chemicals which creates LOMO effect. Somehow, the wildly shifted color and contrast make those photos look astonishing.

In fact, to replicate the effect of cross-processing on digital images really do need some efforts. I've been working really hard to make it looks authentic. Besides that, I also put some important accessories in this app, some accessories that just can't be avoided when using LOMO camera, that's Colorsplash flash and colored filter.

Unfortunately, cross-processed images don't just have one effect. The color altered in the image also depends on what film is using. Different film creates different effect. But to make things more simple, I just named the films according to it's color. For example, "B/b Film" means blue colored film, "M/P Film" means magenta and purple colored film."
