New iPhone Photo App: ColorShadow

Description from the AppStore: ColorShadow is an application that converts dull photographs into cool and exciting photographs.

Editors Comments: This app has virtually no description, is probably low-res and over priced, but never the less looks quite interesting. I will wait however to see if the price drops before trying it out, but if any of you do try this app, then please let us know what you think of it.

AppStore Link: ColorShadow - Price: £1.19/$1.99

@scw: Does it worth the money? It looks interesting, but I didn't quite get the point of it.

Looks like a threshold with a gradient fill.

Bottom line - does it worth the price?

[SCW]

Yes, Paul is correct. It's quite a simplistic app. With not much to it yet gives user control.
Personally I enjoy it but it's probably better priced & worth $0.99 not truly a $2 purchase. His other apps are a $1 & this would sell better if it received a price adjustment... In my opinion. But it's a nice fun tweakable app... If this style interests you.

I purchased this the other day to try it out, as I had some cash from an appstore voucher to burn. There is no splashscreen, or anything to tell you how to use the app - which was the first disappointment. On top of that, there are limited options - you can only use a photo taken already, there's no camera option, and the stroke feature doesn't appear to work at all?

There is also a pin button in the top right of the screen, which when pressed turns grey, then red again. I still havn't discovered what this is supposed to do - so if someone can enlighten me i'd appreciate it!

So all in all, I found the effect of the app pretty good, but seriously overpriced for the lack of features and explanation that comes with it. If they make a comprehensive update to it, then it might be worth the purchase.

@Jem, check out the dev's website http://hokuson.ran-maru.net/colorshadow.html which has a user guide of sorts, although the translation is not perfect.
