CameraBag gets major update, and goes FREE*

The original CameraBag was the very first vintage iPhone photo app, setting off what has become a major trend. Now CameraBag 2 is bringing a brand new direction to mobile photography. It’s hi-fi because it’s built on the same 32-bits-per-channel Analog Engine that powers CameraBag 2 for Mac/PC, designed for professional photographers. This means your photos retain their smooth color gradations even when they’re heavily filtered. Unlike other apps, CameraBag 2 makes it easy to go in and play with each style for infinite variations, so you can always create something unique. The interface has been redesigned from the ground up to be simple, transparent, and fast. It’s quick and painless to save your shot or share via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Features

• Powerful new hi-fi Analog Engine straight from CameraBag 2 for Mac/PC for unparalleled image quality
• 24 different styles, 50+ in the Pro upgrade and HD versions
• Sliders allow you to adjust individual components of each style for a unique look
• Remix button infinitely changes styles for even more variations not possible via sliders
• A huge array of borders and aspect ratios, as well as freehand cropping
• Easy sharing to Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and more
• Preview chooser panel stylishly shows you all the filters at once
• Elegant, minimalist interface
• In the Pro upgrade and HD versions, the ability to save your own styles in-app, or load styles made in CameraBag 2 for Mac/PC

App Alert: CameraBag, CameraBag for iPad and Infinicam are all FREE today

Three classic iOS apps from Nevercenter, CameraBag [App Store Link], CameraBag for iPad [App Store Link] and Infinicam [App Store Link] are all available for FREE today, so if you don't already have these apps, then grab them whilst you can.

CameraBag focuses on emulating styles and processes from some of the most interesting cameras of the past to enhance the mood of an image, and the results are stunning, whilst Infinicam applies high quality effects to photos, but instead of having a set number of pre-defined camera styles (as CameraBag does), Infinicam offers an endless variety in a fun, stylish interface.

App Update: CameraBag

CameraBag, one of the granddaddy apps of iPhoneography has just received an update, bringing background processing, a new filter called "Italiano", and the "Reprocess" functionality found in the iPad version.

To "Reprocess", you double-tap on a filtered image to reveal an alternate version of that filtered effect, and just as you can with the iPad version, repeated taps will reveal yet more alternatives. Of all the filter options found in CameraBag, the Silver effect offers the most noticeable "Reprocess" effect.

App Update: CameraBag for iPad & CameraBag

After a long wait, CameraBag for iPad and CameraBag for the iPhone from developers Nevercenter have finally been update, although the updates may disappoint some (like me).

So What's new?

CameraBag for iPad is now iOS 4.2 ready and has had the "Plastic" filter effect added, whilst CameraBag for the iPhone now supports the retina display, and now (just like the iPad), has the ability to vary each filter effect by double tapping the screen.

Whilst both updates are welcomed, I can't help feel that the iPhone version is bit of a let down.  Whilst it's nice to see one of the iPad features find its way in to this update, I am disappointed that other features like being able to apply different crops and borders have been left out.

Despite this, it's nice to see that Nevercenter have not completely given up on this old app, and we can only hope that future updates will bring more features to both versions.
