• Semi-desperate For Snapseed App For Mac Computer

The bundled camera app may be capable, even more so with each IOS upgrade, but it will always lag behind the specifications offered by specialist camera replacement apps. So I’ve captured all these images.

Some look pretty good. Some I’d like to tweak. Oh, I’m going to need more apps. The last thing I want to do is transfer my images to laptop and play around in GIMP or Photoshop, that’s just not cricket as we Brits say.

Then I bump in to some guy called Skip who says iPhoneography is a glorious art form and ‘Did you know you can convert that great image into something resembling a painting.’ Oh, I’m going to need more apps The iPhone photography apps in this index are all apps used in workflows shared on Skipology. They represent some of my favorite iPhoneography apps, that much is true but there are many apps out there I’ve never used. Some I may have used and just not understood. Others I use often but maybe don’t feature on the workflows I share.

It is not an exhaustive list. The A-Z List (and beyond). The numbers in brackets indicate how many of my workflows the app is featured in. It is not a rating system. Clicking the app name will give an indexed summary of workflows.

Click the summary to see how the app is used. A. 16 PS Express is an iPhone photography processing app from the Adobe Photoshop powerhouse. It has powerful desktop style image editing facilities together with a library of predefined iPhoneography effects and filters (some via in app purchases).

6 Created by Alien Skin who are better known for their Pro Desktop products, Alt Photo recaptures the nostalgia of Kodachrome or goes all the way back to scratched Tintype. With Alt Photo, you can give any picture the right look, whether it’s subtle or stylized through a series of film effect filters. rating app='567779286'. 2 Watercolor, or Aquarella is a wonderful transparent and luminous artistic media.

Aquarella by Jixipix Software transforms your iPhone image into one with liquid pools of color blended fluidly on paper to create a watercolor with all the delicate details found in a traditional watercolor media. rating app='593172305' (iPhone) (iPad).

It also enables large resolution images to be viewed at pixel level to assess quality. rating app='513663883'. 4 Blur FX does one job really well in my opinion.

If you need to manually add a little blur to feather areas possibly to correct other edits it’s excellent. I also use it on a larger scale to help with textured or painterly processing. Includes many more features and effects including vignettes. Currently only available for iPad. rating app='321706812' (iPhone) (iPad). C.

8 My first iPhone photography camera replacement app and still sets a benchmark. Excellent focus and exposure points and a good range of filters and frames for post processing. The Camera+ Ansel filter is widely regarded as an iPhoneography classic. This is a must have app. rating app='329670577' (iPhone) (iPad). 7 CameraBag 2 Mobile includes dozens of adjustable photo styles (with new ones added regularly for free download in the Online Style Library within the app), the ability to save customized looks as your own, and the ability to import advanced styles hand-made in CameraBag for Mac and PC. rating app='582697694' (iPhone) (iPad).

D. 1 Diana photo is an iPhone app all about creating double exposure happy accidents. Double exposures can be captured within the app but I prefer to create random double exposures from my camera roll. rating app='694075857'. 1 Diptic is my go to app for photo collages.

It comes with a wide range of pre-defined layouts (well over 100) which can all be adjusted. Images can be edited within the app and internal and external corners can be rounded by any amount you set. Frames aren’t just straight edged, collages such as ‘Ying Yang’ style can be created (that is just one example). Borders between frames can be removed and with imagination Diptic can be used to combine images in a seemless way without the look of a collage. rating app='377989827'. 7 Distressed FX is a wonderful app for converting photographs to artwork. It’s in frequent use by me to add textures and other effects to my images during the conversion process that often results in the question “Is it a photograph or is it a painting?” The developers suggest that this app can be used to ‘transform even the most mundane photo into a work of art’ and is particularly suited to still life and landscape photography.

rating app='585702631'. 1 Ansel Adams said “Great Black & White photos aren’t taken – they’re made”.

rating app='728479183'. 0 Fotograf is an iPhoneography filter app created by Nevercenter, the manufacturers of the excellent CameraBag 2. It’s filter set is classic rather than retro and is expandable through in app purchases or creating and saving your own filters. rating app='790013619'. 8 The phrase ’tilt-shift’ in photography is well known but is actually 2 different processes. In its purest form it is controlled at the point of capture using specialist lenses. FrontView is a great iPhoneography app that handles the ‘shift’ element in post processing.

Its purpose is to correct perspective distortion – for example make the vertical lines of buildings run parallel rather than converge as they do when photographed from ground level. This is a very simple but useful app. rating app='427420729'. H. 14 Handy Photo has a great clutter free interface and has some powerful tools. Its cropping and object movement tools are excellent but what makes it really interesting is the Magic Crop function which allows (for example) square images to be extended into a landscape format without stretching or cropping. Amazing technology.

It also allows crooked horizons to be straightened by rotating without impacting original image size or cropping content. What really attracted me to Handy Photo initially was its beautiful range of textures and that’s what I mainly use it for.

Over and above that, it has much more to offer. rating app='598565205'. 29 Hipstamatic is an all in one camera replacement and processing app.

Their catchphrase is “Digital photography never looked so analog.” Via a series of in app purchases you build up a library of lenses and films resulting in many many combinations.

There is an entire community built around this app. rating app='342115564'. I.

The go to blending app for many top notch iPhoneographers looking for a straight forward clutter free app not needing to operate with multiple active layers. rating app='414544492'.

4 Imagine Snapseed HDR / Drama but with much more control. Instaflash Pro gives you more photo editing control with Pro photo adjustments including: Shadows, Highlights, Light EQ, Tone EQ, Color EQ, Split Toning, Fill Light, Soft Light, Clarity, Vignette, Focus, Noise Removal, White Balance, and more. rating app='888701288'. 3 Instagram was originally intended to share mobile photographs in real time with both capture and filter capability. In my view it is much more a social media network than a camera app. Its connectivity makes it an invaluable hub to add images to numerous networks. My own Instagram images can be viewed at.

rating app='389801252'. 6 Iris is now called and is both a powerful iPhoneography editing app and a library of predefined effects and filters. I use it primarily for the filters. L. 5 Previously known as Iris, Laminar Pro is a powerful iPhoneography editing app including the ability to work with multiple active layers and a library of predefined effects and filters.

I use it primarily for the filters. Although it is a universal app, it has been described as like a little Lightroom for iPad. rating app='477581818'. 1 The is a lens attachment for the iPhone capable of creating an interesting depth of field.

It supports all the layering, masking and blending capability you would expect of a specialist app capable of working with multiple active layers. rating app='656090065'. M. 1 MarbleCam takes pictures that look as if you had focused on a glass marble with a macro lens. It creates a distorted ‘Marbleized’ view of the iPhoneography image over the top of the original image which it shifts out of focus in the background.

Used in isolation is has limitations but used in partnership with layering and masking apps it provides wonderfully unique content for surreal artwork. rating app='524289568'. 19 Mextures is an amazing iPhoneography app. With an ever expanding range of original textures categorized as light leaks, gritty and grainy film textures, dusty vintage film scans, tasteful grunge, and gorgeous gradients. These textures are created from actual 35mm film scans from various cameras, and a multitude of other natural elements.

20 Oggl is created by the people behind Hipstamatic and provides the same variety of lens and film combinations. The main difference between the two iPhoneography apps is that whilst the lens and film combination with Hipstamatic must be selected before the image is captured, within Oggl images can either be captured or imported and then the lens and film combination selected afterwards. Both apps work in partnership beautifully and both have large and active communities associated with them. Oggl is very much the son of Hipstamatic. rating app='640339204'.

rating app='518235205'. Heh Skip, I pop by here from time to time and really appreciate your generosity of info/tips – you’ve helped me enormously!

Today I’m here out of desperation. Do you have any idea what’s up with the Snapseed app on the iPad?

This is not happening on my iPhone – only the iPad. Certain pop-up windows are not opening fully: for instance, when I choose Center Focus, then touch Presets to choose one, a long vertical window appears with only THREE options – Portrait 1, P. 2, and Vignette.

Scrolling is there BUT only barely it doesn’t scroll and stop so I can’t choose any other options. SO FRUSTRATING. It’s the same for Frames, altho they scroll half way through the blacks to the right.

Is this just me / my iPad??? I’ve spent the last hour trying to search the internet for anyone else reporting this problem – no luck. I can’t even find a website to report it to Snapseed Google+, Nik??? Any tips or direction you can send me would be immensely appreciated! Snapseed is my absolute fave go-to app this situation is driving me crazy!! Thanks a lot, Christi.
