CameraBag 1,5 for iPhone

Without mattering if you are nostalgic, photography student or simply somebody that wishes to fix the photos of iPhone, CameraBag allows to modify the images so that they look themselves like several photographic styles

List of effects
The pull-down menu takes to the ten versions of each image to that you can accede (9 effects besides the original version).

REVIEW
There are photographic publishers for iPhone very well who allow to alter the images finely modifying the brightness, the resistance and other adjustments. Few carry out all the work in your place, transformed the photos to give classic photographic styles them. Best and the most complete one is CameraBag, an funny application that uses nine filters for dejarte to imitate any thing, from impressions of Polaroid to the works of Ansel Adamas, the legend of the photography in black and white, simply with giving click to the appropriate filter. The fans to the photography it will seem to them that it does a work credible of imitation of the historical photographic techniques, and until those who solely wish to fix to the images of his iPhone would have to be pleasant experimenting with this application.

Helga
Helga imitates the style of a camera of Holga toy.

To operate CameraBag is simple. When you abres the program, you see a dark screen that it has three icons at heart: it removes an image, it keeps an image, or it loads an image of the photographic library of iPhone. It arrives is the name of the filter of the used image, something as well as Ansel or Infrared. When giving him a tap to the name of this filter, leaves a list to you the ten available ones: names of a single word that give a track you of the nature of the filter. Some names are evident, whereas some of them probably only include the fans to the photography. When doing contact with a name selects the corresponding filter. It removes a new image or it concerns one from the photos stored in iPhone, and appears a previous view in center of the image with the applied filter of the screen.

Lolo
Lolo imitates the style of a toy camera Back (lomografía).

The same filters cover ample variety with styles, from techniques professional and specialized (Ansel, Fisheye, Infrared) to snapshots for the consumption (1962, 1974, Instant) and cameras of toy. I have my own favorites, but each image constitutes an opportunity to experiment, and it is not possible to be very surely in advance which filter will work in particular better in an image without putting each of them on approval.

Ansel
Ansel tries to recreate the own masters of Ansel Adams of the lights and the shades.

Helga and Lolo imitate the images taken with the cameras of toy Holga and Lomo. These cameras even though tell on following cults and as a result of their significant optical defects, that they can create unusual effects. The names of the filters are variant light of the names of the cameras, to perhaps avoid to infringe the marks of the companies of the cameras. Helga produces significant viñetado (reduction of the brightness in the edges of the photos, mainly in the corners), whereas Lolo causes that the images leave supersaturated, followed the degree of the strident thing. Helga generally I did not like. On the other hand, the high saturation of Lolo reduced merit to them to many pictures and images in interiors; but it heightened well certain scenes in exteriors. It was especially good in the firings of the twilight, in which really it emphasized the color and the brightness of the sky and the lights of the city. As much the images with the Helga filter as with the Lolo cut the images doing them of a squared format, just like the cameras by which they are inspired.

Instant
Instant duplicate the style and the edge of an instant print of Polaroid.

Cinema cuts the images in a wide format. This is positive if the images in panoramic direction were taken; but it eliminates great part of the parts superior and inferior of the images in the way of pictures. One is not the filter that causes more enthusiasm. More interesting it is Ansel, that turns the images into black and white, trying to imitate the masters of Ansel Adams with the lights and the shades. As the Adams fan of Ansel, esteem the effort - by imperfect that is to capture subtle tones of gray, the fine gradations between the brilliant and the dark. It seems to me that Ansel is pleasanter than 1962, the other filter in black and white, that tries to reproduce typical snapshots of that one time being created versions of the images with highlights and overwhelming and shades nigérrimas, at the cost of many subtilities of the details.

1962
Way 1962 makes images that are looked like snapshots in black and white of that one time.

Effect 1974 reproduces the style of the photos of the time creating images of colors with I leave yellowish slightly that generally seem warm and cheer to me. And, like it was to be expected, Fisheye distorts the photos as if it was contemplated to them through an objective of fish eye, whereas Infrared imitates the result that would be obtained to shoot with an infrared ray filter. I liked the ghostly and similar aspect to a negative of many of the images that I created with the Infrared filter. Fisheye works better with the firings of the branches over the head, the seen high buildings from down, or the pictures like of house of the laughter.

Cinema
Cinema keeps images from panoramic frame in wide kinematic format.

Nevercenter added by means of an update two ways to reach a total of ten more. Polaroid has retired its instantaneous film gradually; but the style will last in the images of wide edges Polaroid style of the Instant way. This one will attract the people mainly who have owned instant cameras of Polaroid; although one is not going away to undergo the expectation to see that the image is materialized slowly in film. Original it allows to keep the inalterable image, although you have shot only it within CameraBag. That one is an improvement of great value: before the inclusion of Original, the image with one could solely be saved of the applied filters, not as in fact it were taken him. Good what is to see that the creators of CameraBag are offering practical modifications and adding more styles.

1974
The images removed with filter 1974 warmly seem instantaneous colored of this time.

Sometimes CameraBag (and iPhone of step) was congealed by several minutes while it kept an image, or if the program were not closed. CameraBag is one of the few applications fotográfics for iPhone that allow to choose the size of the image (from a width of 400 pixels to 1200). Although he is fabulous to be able to scale the images until the 1200 pixels, sometimes the price in time of delay is pleased. The Infrared filter is remarkably bad by its slowness.

Infrared
Infrared allows to simulate an infrared photo in black and white.

In spite of these quejitas, it is a pleasure to make use of this application. Without mattering if it has been become fond of to the photography or it is only desired to fix the photos of iPhone, there is no doubt that one is going away to amuse producing many amazing versions of the images of own iPhone with CameraBag. To experiment with the application is all an adventure: before applying a filter never you know what you are going to obtain. Some variations can be seen better than the original ones.

Fisheye
Fisheye creates a circular image like the seizure through an objective of fish eye.

Original version
It is possible to be seen and to keep the original version from the photo whereupon is working. This is very useful if a photo removes from within from the CameraBag application.

PROS
It turns the images into anyone of classic or creative photographic styles. It is easy to previsualize the images and to keep them in multiple styles. It owns four resolutions of images.

CONS
She cannot alter the images beyond the basic style. A little is united.
