CameraBag iPhone App
Just found this app tonight and bought it on the spot.
CameraBag (iTunes App Store link) lets you play with any photos you have on your iPhone as well as take new ones in a number of unique ways.
Starting with a photo I already had in my library (from a recent trip to Hawaii – original here), I can crop or zoom:
then choose one of the camera choices:
The cameras choices in CameraBag include:
“Helga”
A square-format toy camera feel with washed-out highlights and old-school vignetting.
“1974″
This is your father’s camera. Faded, tinted, and hip.
“Lolo”
Shoot from the hip and take life as it comes with vibrant, colorful shots. Note: You can’t see the white border it creates on my site.
“Cinema”
Dramatic, moody, wide-screen stills from the movie of your life.
“1962″
Dynamic black and whites from the photojournalists of a bygone era
Pretty cool for $5. There’s already a Flickr Pool for photos modified by this app. The developer has a video of the app in action on their website too.

I just picked up this app, too – right on the spot as well. In conjunction with Photogene, taking iPhone photos has become fun again. Great shot, btw!

Robin: PhotoGene looks pretty cool…might have to grab that one too.

You can try another application: Model Pose for iPhone, it a useful handbook and toolbox for photographer. The poses are useful, I really love it. This application does have a lot of line drawings divided up into groups to search for the pose that fits your situation.
you can find it in iTunes App Store:

For example, you can take a picture of an individual and apply a wide range of effects to that specific photo. You could apply a fisheye lens effect, an infrared effect, a simulated cinema effect, a widescreen effect, and other effects that mimic the style of old cameras as well. [...]

This app is great. I use it all the time.
The only problem I’ve noticed is once camerabag has altered a photo it strips all EXIF data from the JPG (including GPS coordinates).

Yeah, that’s the same problem with most of the ‘processing’ apps – just like Photoshop, that stuff gets stripped away.
August 28th, 2009 at 7:20 am
Good point.
I shoot in raw format with my slr. The photoshop raw plug-in keeps the EXIF even when you save it as a jpg. So I’m coming from that perspective.
But you’re right, any processing done via general photoshop will remove that data.
Thanks for the reply.
