Auto Adjust update

If you read my review of Auto Adjust, then you will know that I recommended this app for quickly fixing poorly exposed photos taken with the iPhone.  Well now developer Joe Macirowski has just updated this great little app with the following new features, giving more control over the adjustments you can make to the blacks, whites and mid-tones, making this more than just a quick fix app.

What's new:

  • Independent adjustment of Blacks, Whites, Mids, and Saturation.
  • High performance progressive preview rendering.
  • More intuitive exponential sliders.
  • Logarithmic Gamma adjustment.
  • Much faster processing and saving times.
  • Lossless floating point processing.

Auto Adjust gets bug fix

If you read my mini review of Auto Adjust, then you will know that despite this app geting my 'Recommended' award, it had what I considered to be a major bug, and that was an image rotation issue.  As mention in the review, a bug fix had been submitted by the developer to the AppStore, and yesterday this update became available, fixing this and other minor processing issues.

Auto Adjust price reduction

Following an email to the developer and my comments about Auto Adjust, there is some good news about this excellent little app.

The first bit of good news, is the orientation bug has been found and an fix update submitted to the AppStore which will hopefully be available soon.

The second bit of good news, is the developer has listened to my suggestion and reduced the price of Auto Adjust to just £0.59/$0.99, and so now with the submitted bug fix update and the price reduction this app gets my recommendation.

Don't forget this app is NOT another flash emulation app, but an exposure correction app that is quick and easy to use, and whilst it does not work for all photos, you will be surprised just how much it can improve what appears to be correctly exposed shots, and it's all done quickly and easily.

New iPhone Photo App: Auto Adjust

Description from the AppStore: Auto Adjust is a lightweight utility for performing "Contrast Stretching" (normalization) on the all too frequent dim or white, washed-out image that the iPhone built-in camera takes.

Typical Contrast Stretching (Auto Levels or Auto Contrast in Photoshop) interatively analyze an image to find the brightest and dimmest pixels (in greyscale). However, an otherwise dark image with one bright spot will span the entire range from 0 to 255 and no adjustments will be made. This limitation is overcome by processing the full histogram of the image and doing some discrete calculus.

Images are processed and saved at their original resolutions. This can lead to some longer processing times on 2048x1536 iPhone 3GS images but it's worth the wait!

AppStore Link: Auto Adjust - Price £1.19/$1.99

Editors comments: Although a little overpriced, I found this app very useful for quickly correcting my poorly exposed iPhone photos. This app is not another one of those flash emulators, but allows you to correct shots with strong high or low lights, which as my sample shot below shows, the white walls of the house has affected the exposure which has been more evenly balanced with in seconds by using Auto Adjust.

Above: Original photo on the left, and the Auto Adjust version on the rightThere is a free light version of this app [Auto Adjust FREE], however it only saves at 480x320 and does not have the fine tuning (intensity) slider bar of this full paid version.

There is one major bug that I have found with this app, and it seems to be one that is becoming more common, and that is it gets the orientation of the photo wrong, and so you will need an app top rotate and correct the saved photo.

All-in-all I found this a useful app for quick exposure corrections, and one that I will continue to use, and gets 3 stars out of 5 from me. It falls short of getting 5 stars due to the above mentioned bug and its price, which I would have liked to have seen at £0.59/$0.99 due to it being a one trick pony, albeit a very good one trick pony.
