New iPhone Photo App: Bleach Bypass
Thursday, April 7, 2011 at 9:00AM | Glyn Evans App Store Description: Fotosyn Bleach Bypass applies the Bleach Bypass effect to your images. A popular visual style in movies and TV, Bleach Bypass is used to enhance atmospheric effect through desaturated colour, heavy vignetting and contrast.
"The term 'Bleach Bypass' principally refers to the development process of colour film, with the skipping of the bleaching process that removes the silver in the film emulsion. This results in a contrasty, desaturated image."
Fotosyn Bleach Bypass features seven effects including Cinematic, Extreme, Monohint, Blush, Breeze, Verve and Nostalgia.
Cinematic, Extreme and Monohint reduce saturation and increase contrast at varying levels, while Blush, Breeze, Verve and Nostalgia add shifts in colour. All effects can be used with or without vignette and there are a choice of borders including Light, Dark and Retro.

Editors comments: Bleach Bypass is a simple to use, one touch app, that supports full-res with a number of predefined 'Bleach Bypass' effects, with or without borders, and whilst it may not have the flexibility of slider controls found in SkipBleach, it does produce some nice results with ease.
