App Update: RetroCamera

After what has seemed like an eternity, the developer behind FILM LAB has finally released an updated for RetroCamera.

This update takes the stunning film stocks from FILM LAB, adds all the best bits from the original RetroCamera, and forms RetroCamera 2.0.

Below is RetroCamera 2.0 decription from the App Store.

"The brand-new "RetroCamera" has been finally released! Now it supports high resolution images, the template function and upload to social networks.

As well as maintaining its great usability in the current version, it features 168 film

simulations and 146 textures such as damaged texture, light leak, lens flare and adhesive tape. The effect sequences will be saved as a template, and you can quickly load the necessary effects with a single touch from the next time you use them.

Moreover the application features 21different kinds of presets. Photos can be shared to Facebook, Flickr, Steply and Twitter.

We added a circular bokeh effect that creates an artistic blur circle. The mask function specifies the effect area, and you can create a tilt-shift photo that blurs the corner of the picture and simulates miniature scenes.

Main features:

• High resolution image (320x428 - 2400x3210)
• Template (21 presets)
• Save to the social networks (Facebook, Flickr, Steply and Twitter)
• 168 film simulations
• 18 noises
• 146 textures
• 64 frames
• Move, rotate or resize
• Brightness, contrast
• Coloring
• Hue, saturation, value
• Bokeh (circular bokeh)"

The App Store link reads ProCamera rather than RetroCamera :) (must be having one of those days)

[Glyn Evans]

Thanks, link corrected and price drop added :)

Just want to point out that it's not 'RetroCamera New' that you want :-)

[kelly]

i got it but it opens & stays at "initializing" forever & then sometines it crashes there.
anyone else?! :(

[Glyn Evans]

@kelly, which model iPhone?

[Ricardo Gomez]

I just tried out and still freezing and added camera sucks. It is not recommended yet

[kelly]

latest 3 version (ios4)....never has a problem w/ other apps (unless it requires the extra cam). it finally loads now (after about 7 tries) when clicked, yay!, BUT, when I go to films (& I have their big filter app & works fine!), I go to choose a film & it onkl comes up blank!
It lists "sepia" etc but nothing shows but a blank screen (thus worthless) & no frames.
Anyone else have this problem?

[Mr Timney]

Fix - Do a hard reboot of iPhone (not just putting it to sleep & on again) & see if that has fixed it, And if that didn't, Delete app, do a hard reboot of iPhone & reinstall app again.

Definitely NOT impressed with this update. Awful UI, slow processing, buggy and framing / re-sizing issues. Could do so much better, I really wanted to like it. Maybe V.2.01 will make it right ?

Anyone else having issues with the app?

When it first starts up the initializing process take a good 1/2 to 1 minute, then every time you have to go to the setting screen and pick the setting for resolution and such.

When you start the app again you have to do the same thing over again.

It never remembers the setting you just set?

When loading a image it gives a error message, then loads the image anyways.

Never had this issue with any other app, is this normal for this app?

Anyone having the same issues?

Don't see it in US iTunes presently...anyone confirm?

[blortblort]

Looks like filmlab is no longer up on US Itunes as well...

[rajkumr]

I guessed the dev pulled them from the AppStore! Have been trying for a couple of days now!

[Ricardo Gomez Gomez]

I found the application in apple itunes store but it called Retrocamera Plus. I have been in touch with the developers of this app. but still there is not a good update for it. Still with some serious bugs.

[Glyn Evans]

Please note: Retrocamera Plus is NOT the same app as RetroCamera.

[Mr Timney]

Glyn,

Retro Camera & Retro Camera PLus are absolutely not the same apps

[Glyn Evans]

@Mr Timney. Thanks for spotting my glaring mistake, how I missed the crucial word NOT, I don't know. Typo error now corrected.
