Best iPhone Photo Applications

With Juxtaposer you can take one part from one photograph and add that part into a second photo. So you could, for example, put your dog's head on a friend's body (as shown in the photo), remix your pets into a mythical creature, or magically join the cast of your favorite TV show.

Juxtaposer is simple to use. First, take or load in any two pictures - perhaps one of your friend and one of your pet. Then use your finger to erase around your friend's head. Next zoom in and out using two finger gestures. Then, to remove your dog's head you first zoom out and make a rough outline, then you zoom in and erase with pixel-accuracy. Then switch to move mode and use your fingers to move, re-size and rotate your dog's head into place over friend's. Viola - you have a friend-dog or a dog-friend or whatever you want to name it!

It's easy enough top crop a photograph when you left to much space around the the subject. But what about the other way around - When you shoot too close? Now, it's just as simple, with a new universal iOS called AntiCrop. It does one thing: un-crop your images.

If you've ever taken a hasty photo on your phone and didn't leave enough room on the outside, AntiCrop is the app can uncrop those photos by filling in the edges with just a few swipes. AntiCrop uncrops your photos by extending the picture's background. Similar to tools which remove blemishes from photos by using information from elsewhere in the picture, AntiCrop uses that same technique to uncrop your photo from the edges out, so you can get a bit more of that beautiful sunset in the photo, even if you didn't get it in the original shot.

You need to be a Dropbox user to get the most out of this application - but Dropbox is free. With Cloud Photos you will never worry about losing mobile photos again, new photos are automatically synced and uploaded to Dropbox. Photos synced with Dropbox appear in your Photos folder, so you have access to them from anywhere. You control if uploading of photos occurs over WiFi or 3G.

Tilt-shift miniature faking is a process in which a photograph of a life-size location or object is manipulated so that it looks like a photograph of a miniature scale model. Tiltshift has come to the iPhone and the software enables you to focus in on a small area of the photograph, while the surrounding areas are blurred. This gives you a"tiny model" effect You can download Tiltshift from the Apple App Store for $1.99.

Focus on a linear or elliptical region in the image with visual guides and interactively adjust the amount of blur for maximum effect. The size and orientation of the focus can be adjusted by the multi-touch gestures pinch in, pinch out and rotation of two fingers around a common center. The resulting image can be saved in high resolution. Both portrait and landscape mode are supported.

Wi-Fi Photo Transfer is a free app that makes it simple to download photos from your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.

There isn't a single setting to alter once you download the app. It works by making the photos folder on your device visible from your computer's web browser so you can download photos straight to your computer. Your computer and device must be on the same Wi-Fi network for this to work - which is common for many homes these days. You can view all your photos in a convenient thumbnail view to select multiple items, or you can download them one by one (in various sizes, too). I have found I save a ton of time versus iTunes synching.

When downloading a .zipped file, there is one unfortunate bug. Every image that you download is given a ".jpg" extension, which is accurate for photos taken with your iPhone's camera. This is only a problem if you have Video files (MOV) and/or screen captures (PNG) - then you have an extra step to rename. But if you, like me, are moving 99% photos - then this is a non issue.

Those of you who are keen on the technical aspects of film making must already know that directors use anamorphic lenses to shoot their scenes. These lenses are what create the widescreen look that we all associate with modern cinema, and truly vivid imagery is only possible when these are used.
Well, CineCrop is a new iPhone app that lets you pick any photo that you have taken and crop it to Anamorphic, effectively making it resemble a scene from out of a movie. In actuality, if you buy the application (which is available at the App Store) you can proceed to crop your images to up to six different cinematic aspect ratios, including 35mm Film Widescreen and 16mm Film

Night Camera helps you to take sharp photos at night or other low light conditions, by using the built-in accelerometer to trigger the shutter when it detects the camera being stable.

iPhone camera, like other cell phones, has some problems. While washed-out color and low contrast can be fixed by Photoshop, iPhoto, or our Photo Lab app, no software can fix blurs caused by shaky hands. That's especially a problem for night photos.

Night Camera can not be simpler. Tap the shutter button, it will start checking the accelerometer. Be calm, hold still, it takes the photo when the accelerometer detects the camera is steady. You get to review the photo before saving.
