Essential iPhone Digital Imaging Apps v.2

A second in a series of iPhone digital imaging app reviews...

Photogene by Omer Shoor - Price: $1.99

Much like Photoforge that I discussed in yesterday's post, Photogene is a good all purpose image editor for the iPhone. Photogene includes a number of nice preset border treatments, but lacks painting tools like Photoforge.



                 

Pros:

• Very fast, responsive, immediate editing
• Interface is well designed, navigation is quick and easy
• Menus can disappear with a tap for full screen view
• Includes a number of nice preset frame treatments with a lot of custom control for images.
• Nice drop shadows and reflection.
• 8 special effects include sepia, black and white, pencil, and night vision.
• Ability to work in portrait of landscape mode.
• Ability to add text balloons.
• Share photos with Facebook, Twitter, or "Hall of Fame" online gallery

Cons:

• Lacks clone tool.
• Lacks any painting tools
• Lacks noise reduction feature.
• Lacks layering function.
