I have just posted the third of my ongoing series of discussions on iPhone camera apps (Camera Plus Pro). Thanks to all of you around the world who have taken the time and interest to read my most recent post on Camera+ To date I have had about 7,500 views from 93 countries – that is a fantastic response! Please share with your friends: according to the developers of Camera+ they have sold about 10 million copies of their app, so that means there are millions more of you out there that might like to have a manual for this app (which does not come with one) – my blog serves as at least a rudimentary guide for this cool app.
It’s taken several weeks to get this next one written, hopefully the rest will come a bit faster. Apps that have a lot of filters require more testing (and lot of image uploading – the most recent post on Camera Plus Pro has 280 images!). BTW, I know this makes the posts a bit on the large side, and increases your download times. However, since the subject matter is comparing details of color, tonal values, etc. I feel that high resolution images are required for the reader to gain useful information, so I believe the extra time is worth it.
Although this list is contained in my intro to the iPhone camera app software, here are the apps for which I intend to post analysis and discussions:

The above apps are selected only because I use them. I am not a professional reviewer, have no relationship with any of the developers of the above apps, am not paid or otherwise motivated externally. I got started on this little mission as I love photography, science, and explaining how things work. At first, I just wanted to know what made the iPhone tick… as my article on the hardware explains, that was more of a mission than I had counted on… but fun! I then turned to the software that makes the hardware actually do something useful… and here we are.
The choice of apps is strictly personal – this is just what I have found useful to me so far. I am sure there are others that are equally as good for others – and I will leave it to those others to discuss. It’s a big world – lots of room for lots of writing… Undoubtedly I will add things from time to time, but this is a fair list to start with!
Readers like you (and so many thanks to those that have commented!) are what brings me back to the keyboard. Please keep the comments coming. If I have made errors, or confused you, please let me know so I can correct that. Blogs are live things – continually open to reshaping.
Thanks!
