PSA for the iPhone camera junkies on my flist...

[ziparumpazoo]

And if you have an iPhone 3Gs or above, iPod Touch (3rd gen and up) or an iPad with iOS 4.2 or later, Snapseed by Nik software is free until September 23rd.

*eta - Also available for free in Europe and Australia as well.

It's surprisingly powerful and easy to use, even for somebody as Photoshop-icaly declined as me:

(or at the very least, it's an entertaining way to pass the time that doesn't require additional web services)

Eek, I love you! Also true in Europe! :D *download like whoa*

Oh excellent! I was wondering if it was outside of North America. Most of the photo editing apps out there are just a rehash of the same old, but this one seems pretty good with lots of options for sharing.

(seriously, my only reason for coveting the newer iPhone is the better camera than my 3Gs. Actually talking to people with it is optional.)

North America, right! ::corrects post::

*laugh* I honestly tell people that if they like to use it as a PHONE, they should get an Android smartphone, or a BlackBerry (our work phones are fantastic for everything BUT the 'net). If you love graphics and multimedia and the www, there's nothing quite like it at this point.

Thanks! *downloads*

Careful though... it's addictive!

(hey when did you get a new toy? If I would've known I would've been spamming you with app recs ;)

[a-loquita.livejournal.com]

July, right after Kate got hers. Yes, please, spam me!!

Well, you already have WWF, Angry Birds? (though I haven't played it in a while). Docs to Go really is worth paying for, especially if you save something to Google Docs or a service like that because you can update and then sync with your phone. The LJ app has gotten better and doesn't crash as often. And I like SketchBookX because it's nice an simple when you need to make a diagram on the fly. I just realized the apps I use all the time are all works specific, so that won't help you much. Unless you need a customizable bar code reader, then ZBar is really good.

...crashing your comment thread, YOU HAVE AN ANGRY BIRDS ICON! <3

Original image is by ijul on Deviantart. They offer it as a download, so I'd say the icon is snaggable if you want it, with credit to ijul, of course. :)

Aus too it seems! Huzzah for new toys!

[ziparumpazoo]

Sweet! :D

Thanks for the tip! I'm by no means a photographer but I love funky photos and LOVE apps that enhance my iPhone :D

You're very welcome :)
It does the things I wish I had the patience to learn to do in Photoshop and you can't argue with free. (especially without the popup ads!)
