I am completely infatuated with the possibility of being able to take high quality DSLR-like images, edit them, and upload them all in one device. So I decided to do some experimentation with mobile photo editting. Here are the results:
I first started with an image I took with my iPhone. Nothing fancy. Just a shot of my Rubik’s cube I took sitting at my desk at work. I used a blank white sheet of letter sized paper as the back drop, and my desk lamp for lighting.
Next, I used the Photoshop Express app (free on the app store!) to increase the exposure, change the contrast, and used the vibrant effect.
After looking at the the photo, I realized that I really liked the way it looked upside down, so I used Photoshop Express to rotate the image 180 degress.
Finally, I found an app called Montager (free version brands your photos on the bottom right) that allows you to make a nifty looking montage. I combined the above photo with a couple of other shots of I took of the Rubiks cube and Voila!
Overall the options for editting were limited but it just shows what’s possible! I’m sure someone with more skill than I have can put together some amazing stuff.
Here’s a condensed version of the sequence:
Oh by the way! I’m writing this post on my iPhone and uploading the images straight through the WordPress app.
Tell me what you think. What other interesting things can I do with iPhone apps and mobile editing?
Great results with a better lighting set!
There are a great many apps for the iPhone 4 that allow on device image post processing. I like the post processing filters in Camera+ especially the HDR filter. It would be interesting to see what would happen if you pair your project with images manipulated within the iPhone.
