I’m a big fan of iPhone photo apps, because the built-in Camera and Photos applications certainly don’t handle every photo-related task you might want to do with your phone. You can email photos from the Photos app, for example, but you can’t upload them anywhere.
Various photo sites have their own uploader apps, but what [...]
It’s hard to picture life before Photoshop, but yes, some 20 years ago, Photoshop did not exist and photo manipulation was a matter of darkroom editing techniques and using complex sequences such as burn, dodge, fade, mask, which when used in Photoshop is a snap. Tomorrow is the 20th Anniversary of Photoshop, but the celebration [...]
Ever since Palm and Apple started their dance about the Pre’s ability to sync with iTunes, I’ve been keeping an eye out for alternative ways to move media to my Pre.
Over the last few weeks I’ve been putting three applications through their paces with my Pre to find a suitable workaround for this glaring omission [...]
There’s a chance you might already have seen this ’sneak peek’ video, in which case forgive me. For those of you that haven’t seen it, read on and take the jump to view it.
This is actually old news, but I only just stumbled across it a couple of days ago. You see, news of Adobe’s [...]
Facebook is the biggest photo sharing site in the world, so it’s pretty likely your friends have some photos posted there. The thing is, nobody’s pretending that browsing photos on Facebook is fast or user-friendly. In fact, the whole experience totally, in the parlance of our times, sucks. That’s why you should get PhotoBook, a [...]
Talk about your Photoshop disasters! Gaspar Llamazares, a member of Spanish parliament, discovered that his hair and some his facial features had been used by the FBI in a new Most Wanted poster of the world’s most notorious terrorist, Osama Bin Laden. The FBI claims to have used “cutting-edge” technology to create the image, depicting [...]
Pop quiz: what’s the largest photo site on the web? Flickr? Photobucket? Picasa? Nope, it’s Facebook.
Like me, you might find that fact a bit surprising, since we don’t immediately think of Facebook as a photo sharing site — that’s just one of its features.
What’s even more interesting when thinking about Facebook as a photo [...]
Divvyshot is a new photo-sharing service that makes it ridiculously easy for friends to combine all their photos from an event into a single album that everyone in the group can access. There’s an iPhone client and a web interface (desktop apps coming soon) providing numerous ways to view and edit albums.
The flashiest way [...]
Liquid Scale is an iPhone / iPod Touch app that allows you to resize images by removing unimportant elements in the photo, leaving the important ones untouched. It’s a technique called seam carving that we’ve previously mentioned, but what’s interesting here is that it’s now available to be used on the iPhone.
For those that are [...]
HumanClock.com is a fun little site, letting you view the current time in photo form. The time in the screenshot above is 2:10 (there’s a 24-hour option as well). Sometimes figuring what time the image shows is a bit of a riddle, but that’s part of the fun for me.
The site isn’t new — it’s [...]
