"Best Price Ever - AutoStitch Now Only £0.59/$0.99/€0.79"

Editor: "In my opinion, this is the best panoramic app available for the iPhone and is a must have app for any iPhoneographer"

From the Developer: "AutoStitch brings high-resolution, wide-angle photography to your iPhone or iPod Touch.

AutoStitch is the only app that can stitch images in any order or arrangement, including vertical, horizontal, or mixed arrangements. It produces much higher resolution images than other panorama apps: up to 18 megapixels on the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, or iPod Touch 4G, and up to 5 megapixels on the iPhone 3G.

To get started, use any camera app to snap some overlapping photos from the same location. Then simply select the photos you wish to combine in AutoStitch and touch "Stitch". AutoStitch uses state-of-the-art technology that automatically recognizes and smoothly combines overlapping images, making panorama creation on the iPhone easy, fast and fun."

iPhoneography meets iCreate Magazine

Issue 87 of iCreate magazine which is published here in the UK by Image Publishing has a nice article all about iPhone photography called "iPhone 4 Photography: Tips, Tricks & Apps".  The article is pretty good, covering some top apps with readers photos, as well as a small section from me, called "My top iPhone photo apps".

Now due to space limitation, not all of my top apps were published, so for those interested, here is my article in full.

My top iPhone photo apps by Glyn Evans, editor of iPhoneography.com

The iPhone 4 is not just any old smartphone. With its 5 megapixel camera and wide range of photo manipulation app, its a camera and darkroom in your pocket.

With so many photo apps in Apple's App Store, you may be wondering which ones are the best, so here are my top apps.

1. PictureShow: If you only buy one photo app for your iPhone, then I recommend PictureShow [App Store Link].  PictureShow offers 28 different filters/photo style effects, 20 frames, 10 different light and 11 different noise effects, which you can choose from, or let the apps "Shuffle button" do for you.  In addition to these predefined looks, you can manualy adjust the brightness, contrast or colour, as well as being able to add text, before saving and/or sharing via Twitter, FaceBook, Flickr, Blogger or via email.

2. AutoStitch: Create sweeping panoramic photos with AutoStitch [App Store Link]. Simply take a series of photos with your iPhone from a single viewpoint, panning as you take them.  Then once saved, simply open AutoStitch, select the images and let AutoStitch go to work. When complete simply crop and save, and there you have a panoramic photo. It really is that easy.

3. Photogene: Photogene [App Store Link] is like having a desktop photo editor in your pocket, giving you the ability to truly edit your photos on the go, letting you crop, sharpen, straighten, rotate and add frames to your photos, as well as manually or automatically adjust histogram levels, gamma correction, RGB balance, the colour temperature and saturation.

4. Pro HDR: Pro HDR [App Store Link] lets you create tone mapped HDR images by taking one under exposed photo, one over exposed photo and merging them together, right on the iPhone.

5. TiltShift Generator: Available for both the iPhone and iPad, TiltShift Generator [App Store Link] lets you create photos with a limited depth of field or selective focus, creating that fake miniature look, reminisant of Tilt-shift photography.

6. Black & White apps: If you like shooting Black & White, then there are 3 apps that I would recommend.

• Vint B&W [App Store Link] is a camera replacement app that offers the best tonal range of any Black & White app currently available for the iPhone.
• Spica [App Store Link] is a one trick poney Black & White app that lets you create high contrast, grainy and gritty photos.
• Monochromia [App Store Link] is a Black & White editor, letting you adjust the contrast and brightness, as well as add vignette and film grain to you photos.

These are some of my top apps, which you can use singly, or why not mix together to create soemthing extra special!

App Update: AutoStitch brings high-resolution, wide-angle photography to your iPhone in the form of version 2.0

AutoStitch brings high-resolution, wide-angle photography to your iPhone in the form of version 2.0, and is the only app that can stitch up to 20 images in any order or arrangement, including vertical, horizontal, or mixed arrangements. It produces much higher resolution images than other panorama apps: up to 5 megapixels on the iPhone 3G and 20 megapixels on the iPhone 3GS

New Features:

• High-resolution stitching
• Up to twice as fast
• High-resolution viewer / cropper within AutoStitch

AutoStitch is still the only one for me!!

Back on the 21st September I posted news on 2 new Panoramic apps from ArcSoft, Panorama Camera and Panorama Maker.  When I posted about these app releases I commented by saying "A panoramic app from one of the big boys (ArcSoft) to challenge AutoStitch".

At the time I had not had chance to try the app, however reader and blogger Brandon Lee has, and has posted a short but informative review over at Positive Machine, and all I can say is go read it and save yourself some money.
