Traveling with the iPhone | Camera+
There are hundreds of photo apps in the iTunes store and weeding out the good from the bad is not easy. My personal favorite for in-Phone editing has long been Camera+, but as I mentioned before, the app was pulled due to some violations of Apple policies. Well, folks, it’s back!
What makes Camera+ superior to its counterparts is its comprehensiveness. It has virtually all of the editing features you could possibly want - the ability to crop, retouch, apply effects and borders and on and on. The only thing it lacks is the breadth of “vintage” effects provided in apps like Hipstamatic and Instagram, but it has plenty of these and whatever it lacks is more than compensated by the other editing features available. The new version has also added more sharing features with upload to Facebook, Twitter and Flickr, in addition to the obvious email capabilities.
As with most photo apps you can take photos from within the app, as well. I have no data other than my own perception, but my experience has been that the quality of the photos taken with Camera+ are degrees better than those taken with the basic iPhone camera app. They just seem clearer and richer even without the manipulation the apps’ editing features afford.
Right now the app is selling for 99 cents and is worth every penny. Camera+ makes most other photo apps superfluous.
