iPhone Photography

**The Power of Photography Apps on Your iPhone**

As any photographer will tell you, having the right tools is essential to capturing and editing stunning images. With the rise of smartphones, photography has become more accessible than ever. The iPhone, with its high-quality camera and sleek design, has become a popular choice for photographers on-the-go. But what really sets it apart from other devices is the wide range of photography apps available in the App Store.

One app that stands out from the rest is Photoshop.com. This app offers a wealth of features and tools that can be used to edit and enhance photos. With its user-friendly interface, Photoshop.com allows users to crop, rotate, and adjust the brightness and contrast of their images with ease. But what really sets it apart is its ability to offer more control over the editing process. For those looking for a more advanced experience, there are several other apps worth exploring.

**Mil Color and Photo Genie**

Two apps that caught our attention during our review were Mil Color and Photo Genie. While Mil Color may have a quirky name, it's an excellent tool for photographers looking to make subtle adjustments to their images. With its intuitive interface, users can easily adjust the color balance of their photos without losing any detail. And with its seamless integration with other apps, including Photoshop.com, Mil Color is a must-have for serious photographers.

Photo Genie, on the other hand, offers a more comprehensive set of tools and features that are sure to impress even the most seasoned photographers. With its robust set of filters and adjustments, Photo Genie allows users to take their images from good to great in just a few taps. And with its innovative "before and after" view, users can see exactly how each adjustment affects their image.

**The Power of Filters**

One of the features that really impressed us about Photo Genie is its impressive set of filters. With options like sharpness, saturation, and color temperature, users can quickly and easily transform their images into stunning works of art. And with the ability to adjust these settings in real-time, photographers can make subtle tweaks to their images without losing any detail.

But what really sets Photo Genie apart is its "filter" feature, which allows users to tap on a photo and view it in full scale. This is especially useful for ensuring that adjustments aren't too extreme and that the image doesn't become grainy or over-sharpened. And with the option to reset any of these effects at any time, photographers can avoid committing to anything they're not entirely happy with.

**Distribution on the Internet**

While the iPhone offers some impressive tools for editing and enhancing photos, it's just one part of a larger ecosystem. In our next installment, we'll explore the world of distribution on the internet and the many wonderful options available for sharing your work. From Flickr to Instagram, we'll take a look at how photographers can share their images with the world and get feedback from others.

But first, let's take a closer look at some of the other apps that are available in the App Store. With so many options to choose from, it's easy to find an app that meets your specific needs. Whether you're looking for advanced editing tools or something more straightforward, there's an app out there for you.

**Other Apps Worth Exploring**

In addition to Photoshop.com and Photo Genie, there are several other apps worth exploring. One of our favorites is Edit Photo, which offers a simple yet effective interface for making quick adjustments to images. And with its intuitive touch-screen interface, users can easily crop, rotate, and adjust the brightness and contrast of their photos.

Another app that caught our attention was TouchRetouch, which allows users to remove unwanted objects from their images. With its clever use of AI-powered technology, TouchRetouch makes it easy to remove distracting elements and focus on the subject at hand.

As we've seen, there are many photography apps available for the iPhone, each with its own unique features and benefits. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's an app out there that can help you capture and enhance your images in ways you never thought possible.

**The Future of Photography**

One thing is clear: the iPhone has changed the way we approach photography. With its high-quality camera and powerful editing apps, it's easier than ever to take stunning photos on-the-go. And with the rise of social media, photographers can now share their work with the world in ways that were previously impossible.

But what does the future hold for photography? As technology continues to advance, we can expect even more innovative tools and features to emerge from the App Store. With the rise of AI-powered editing apps and augmented reality features, the possibilities are endless.

For now, though, let's just enjoy the beauty of photography in all its forms. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's never been a better time to capture and share your images with the world.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey everybody Welcome to The Art of Photography uh special announcement I wanted to make today if anybody kind of noticed that uh two weeks ago this podcast turned one year old I've been doing this for a year now uh 30 episodes in some other stats I want to share with you there's about a thousand people on the flicker group now uh about a th000 people unique visits that I get per month on the website and per episode on meio and iTunes it's amazing I get about 10,000 downloads an episode and so what I wanted to do is take a second today to say thank you for watching um I don't do this for a living I do it for fun fact to spend money to do it uh the reason I started well there's two um about a year ago is uh one for me I love teaching and the reason I love teaching is because it forces me when I have to explain something to somebody else it forces me to know the material Insight out and to think about things uh and so it definitely has an impact on me and I highly recommend if you're remotely interested in teaching to go for it uh the second reason is I do it for you um I really wanted to find other people around the world that would be interested in this content uh that I could share ideas with and I've I've met a bunch of people through doing this and made a bunch of context it's been a lot of fun so really I just want to take a second and say thank you for watching uh we got another exciting year in the works I've got some new things I want to try we're going to do a sister podcast to this which will be Audio Only so uh kind of just keep in tune the next couple weeks we'll be making some announcements on that now for today what we're going to cover is a topic that I didn't think a couple years ago I would ever cover which is cell phone photography now you may be thinking why are you going to cover this this is lowii crappy material well real quick let's put put this in historical perspective um in the ' 50s and 60s when you had the Advent of 35mm photography that changed everything particularly for photojournalists um if you think and and mainly you know that was considered a lowf format at the time the this the area of of the picture on the negative in 35 mm very small compared to large format 8x10 4x5 things like that but what it did was it enabled a smaller camera so it enabled people who are doing photojournalism material to get the kinds of photos they would have never been able to get with larger camera setup mainly because you don't have the setup time and you don't have the bulk of the equipment you can literally just grab a camera and travel and so it allows you to get more off the cuff images it allowed photographers to get things that were improvised it allowed them to get reactions from people the minute something happened that was huge that was a big deal for photography in general it really changed the way it changed the types of pictures that we see uh from a historical perspective and and and up to now now I think right now we're going through we're about to go through a second um incarnation of that in a way and it's uh through mobile photography now this has been around for a while there have been all sorts of expensive gadgets and cameras and setups uh particularly for sports photographers and Event Photographers news photographers to be able to upload um you know the final home run of a baseball game to ESPN the second it's done so if somebody hit the website 2 minutes later the photo's there um or an election results or anything like this uh so these things have been around but what's exciting is this is becoming with the Advent of smartphones and the like uh this is in the hands of the consumer now and the fact that I I mean this is an iPhone and I will be the first to admit that the camera in here is really pretty pretty janky um but what's amazing though is I have a Wi-Fi connection and they have an app store so I can download and purchase photography apps to put on my phone to make the pictures a little less well less bad as a relative term but what it will do is it'll change the quality from something that's just plain ugly to something that's interesting uh for me and the fact that I can upload that and distribute it to the internet instantly is is amazing it's a mindblower it's a game changer for everybody and uh for those of you who follow me on the Twitter or flicker um You probably noticed that the last couple weeks I've been posting a lot of cell phone shots uh this is something I've been researching for the podcast and kind of getting into and I've really loved it I haven't in fact I will say I haven't been this excited about um you know Loi cool photography since the hogga since I bought my first hulga so um that's really saying a lot from my perspective and there's a couple things that are cool about it I can shoot without having to worry about anything on here I always have it with me the form factor is so slim it fits in my pocket again this could be any phone and the fact another thing is psychologically um if you go to a party with your big Canon 5D and you want to take some images people react differently when you whip a camera out um they kind of feel like they have to pose or look good or or get out of the photo stuff like that you're able to get much more off the cuff stuff with this because it kind of Acts sort of more like a spy cam um and then even people who notice that you're using your cell phone to take pictures I think people expect lowii out of it and so they don't react the same way that they do when you have a large camera with you um which is I think that's part of the um the vibe that comes off of these so one thing that I do and the reason that I prefer the iPhone is because of their App Store there are a lot of photography apps in there that I haven't seen with T-Mobile or Blackberry or some of these others um if you don't have a smartphone or if you have one of the phones I just talked about don't worry you can still download them to your computer and use Photoshop or any Photo Editor to uh mess with your images and then put them online but the whole point is that it's instant quick photography that you can distribute right from the phone so what I want to do today is kind of show you uh you know part one of this and we'll go through and we'll look at I'll show you on my phone a couple apps I use some are free some are paid and I usually use a combination of them to manipulate an image to get kind of a vibe that I want and then we'll do another podcast next time and we'll talk about how to use things like postris or Facebook or Twitter to distribute those on through a variety of sources on the internet so let's reconfigure the camera a little bit and I'll show you how I do this okay we'll go ahead and open up the iPhone here and I'm going to show you a couple apps that I like to use to do some post-processing on my photos now generally I just shoot with the built-in camera app and I just shoot like crazy and then I do all my post-processing later when I can sit down and look at the images uh right before I upload them straight from the camera to the web which is really cool anyway there's a couple different kind of um kind of classes of of photography apps that you can find in the App Store U I'm going to show you kind of a quick and dirty one there's one called camera bag and there's not a lot of control in here but it's really nice if you just want to get some quick looks uh that certain um cameras give uh obviously Helga we've talked a lot on this podcast about the hulga and the names have been changed for copyright reasons you can't sell an app and call it hogga U but anyway we'll go ahead and select an image here off our two process folder I'll select an image of these pumpkins and you can see right off the bat that this gives you a hogga look it gives you a square image with vignetted Corners a little bit brighter in the middle the focus gets a little little soft on the edges um and I just can scroll through these and check out other looks here's the L which is a Lomo camera look I can keep going here's magazine which is uh more of a 35mm high contrast look um instant which is a faded Polaroid with the border on on it anyway and mono which is monochromatic 1962 which is a higher contrast black and white image you can see the difference there so anyway it's gives you a lot of great options if I want to save one at any point I can just hit the save button down here it'll go ahead and process the image and save it to the save it to the phone um here's mono um maybe I want to compare and contrast a couple of these so I can keep working I can save magazine out now unfortunately the looks that are preset in here you really don't have much control over them they're pretty much set okay so I'll show you another app where you get a little more control out of um Adobe has released a photoshop application for the iPhone which surprisingly is free um it's very cool they have a companion website you can upload photos to which is well done even though it's a flash site but it's it's still very well done um I'm going to go ahead and you can also take photos directly from here but I'm going to select a pre-shot um actually let's go back here to the two process and I'm going to select this photo this bridge okay now you can see in here that there's four icons along the top there's a crop icon uh there's a color icon there's one for looks ET ET let's go ahead and select the crop here and it gives me some options of rotating flipping we'll go ahead and select crop oops sorry I'm doing two things at once here anyway and you just drag this Frame around until you have the crop that you want and you can go ahead anytime you want to commit to something you hit the green check mark Or you hit the X to uh to cancel out if you if it's not what you wanted uh I'm going to show you under the color menu there's some really great stuff I can mess with the exposure so if uh this is a strangely exposed image too cuz it's hard to do on a digital camera phone but um uh anyway I can increase the exposure and I I can increase or decrease just by sliding my thumb along the screen so kind of like if I tap in the middle that's kind of zero where I took the shot and if I want to go lower I just drag over to the left or if I want to go higher I drag over to the right you can start seeing it brightens up a lot of those details in there let's go ahead and commit to that and uh then I can keep adding effects to it if I want which is really nice another one that's really cool um uh is this tent function let's go ahead and select tent now when I drag across the screen here it gives me a little color spectrum at the top and basically you select the uh the color that you want to ttin the photo so you can give it a kind of an old um you know um uh Brown look to it or I can you know make it more modern give it a blue look something like that so anyway so a lot of control a lot of cool things you can do in here uh there're also is a let's cancel out of that there's a preset so there are some looks um so to speak in here um if I want an Andy Warhol effect I can do that there's one in here that's kind of cool that's a vignette blur around the edges Sor it's warm vintage here it is which just basically adds a blur to the outside of the image and keeps it sharp in the center so anyway some really nice stuff there that's the photoshop.com app uh which is really cool um for even more control one I really recommend there's several mil color is a free one U milk color is excellent um but one I like is photo Genie and I know the name is a little corny and the graphics are cartoonish but this is a really nicely done app um I'm going to go ahead and say edit photo and let's go to the two process here I'm going to pick the potatoes this time and it's going to bring them up and my icons are basically along the side I can I can crop this image I can rotate the image um next down is this little thing looks like a funnel it's actually a filter so let's go ahead and click on that the first option I get in here which is really nice is a sharpness option and that's one of the things the iPhone has a little meniscus lens on it if you don't know what that is go look at the one of the early lens podcasts we did but allows me to basically sharpen this up it's not the sharpest lens in the world one thing that I really like about photog Genie 2 that some of the other op apps don't offer the option of if I tap the photo it'll let me view in full scale so I can see if I'm oversharpening this which is real easy to do sometimes let's crank it all the way up you probably can't tell from this video but anyway that's starting to get a little grainy it's it's too sharp there's a pencil effect in here at anytime I can reset any of these effects too and they'll go back to the original state so you don't commit to anything until the end when you actually save your photo um there as far as color adjustments this is nice too because it works a lot more like what you're used to seeing in Photoshop or fireworks where you get your little histogram at the bottom it has an auto levels in here uh which I didn't really like it's a little bright I'm going to back off on that just a little bit uh really cool stuff there um there's an exposure setting so this is kind of a fun effect too I can bring the exposure down on here and then bring the contrast up and you can start to get a real Moody kind of feel to it which is kind of a fun fun effect to to uh to play with on here there color options which is nice uh saturation color temperature and also RGB sliders so if I want to make this more yellow and less blue I can tone down the blue I can bring up the Reds a little bit uh make maybe bring in the magentas a little bit or add green depending on which way you want to go on that so anyway again anytime you mess up you can just hit reset so my whole point in showing you all this stuff and there's some goofy stuff in here too there's borders and stuff like that that you may or may not want to use but my whole point in showing you these is what's really cool is and I think you know for one you know sales point on the iPhone is that the App Store and that the apps that are available for this phone and there's hundreds of photography apps really make this an appealing choice if you're a photographer um again this is real gorilla style photography I like the fact that the camera doesn't look like a i excuse me the phone doesn't look like a camera uh and it allows a different type of Photography it's more kind of like jazz improvisation where you can just not worry about uh you know your big camera and all this it's just a phone you can go shoot and have fun with it it's always with you all that kind of stuff um but anyway if you don't have an iPhone there are other options too um you know T-Mobile has has an app store most most major major phone makers do and if you have an old phone that doesn't even have have uh the ability to run applications you can always download these to your computer and run them out of Photoshop uh there's nothing wrong with doing that so um anyway but what I'm showing you is just basic ways you can do some some editing just straight straight up from the phone so that's pretty much it um you're able to take photos uh edit them and upload them all from the camera which is pretty amazing now we only talked about part of this today we talked about uh uh once you've got the photos how to how to edit them specifically on the iPhone what we're going to do next time tune back in and we'll talk about Distribution on the internet and all the wonderful things that are available be a flicker postris Etc so anyway hope you've uh you found this interesting and thanks for watchinghey everybody Welcome to The Art of Photography uh special announcement I wanted to make today if anybody kind of noticed that uh two weeks ago this podcast turned one year old I've been doing this for a year now uh 30 episodes in some other stats I want to share with you there's about a thousand people on the flicker group now uh about a th000 people unique visits that I

stuff like that that you may or may not want to use but my whole point in showing you these is what's really cool is and I think you know for one you know sales point on the iPhone is that the App Store and that the apps that are available for this phone and there's hundreds of photography apps really make this an appealing choice if you're a photographer um again this is real gorilla style photography I like the fact that the camera doesn't look like a i excuse me the phone doesn't look like a camera uh and it allows a different type of Photography it's more kind of like jazz improvisation where you can just not worry about uh you know your big camera and all this it's just a phone you can go shoot and have fun with it it's always with you all that kind of stuff um but anyway if you don't have an iPhone there are other options too um you know T-Mobile has has an app store most most major major phone makers do and if you have an old phone that doesn't even have have uh the ability to run applications you can always download these to your computer and run them out of Photoshop uh there's nothing wrong with doing that so um anyway but what I'm showing you is just basic ways you can do some some editing just straight straight up from the phone so that's pretty much it um you're able to take photos uh edit them and upload them all from the camera which is pretty amazing now we only talked about part of this today we talked about uh uh once you've got the photos how to how to edit them specifically on the iPhone what we're going to do next time tune back in and we'll talk about Distribution on the internet and all the wonderful things that are available be a flicker postris Etc so anyway hope you've uh you found this interesting and thanks for watching\n"
