    Camera+ is the ultimate app if you want to quickly crop, lighten up and add some pizzazz to photos you’ve just taken or ones that you have stored on your iPhone. A recent update now even lets you adjust exposure or focus. Just tap-and-drag to continuously adjust these aspects at any time. If you have an iPhone 4, you can continually leave on the LED flash to set up your shot.

    2. CameraBag
    Cost: $1.99

    CameraBag is the perfect app for those who want photo filters to do the work for you. With a minimal interface, this app gives you a quick and easy way to turn your boring pictures into works of art. Choose from filters like Colorcross, Helga or Lomo to create cool vintage-like shots without any fuss.

    3. Lo-Mob
    Cost: $1.99

    If you love preset filters but don’t want to flip through them all, Lo-Mob gives you 39 choices – all at once. After you’ve chosen your preset, you can tweak your filters in Edit Mode. There, they give you the option to change components like frames, vignettes, color effect and blur. Each of these can be turned on or off independently. If you like the look of vintage photos, want a good amount of preset filters and the ability to slightly change the image, this app is for you.

      I’ve been using CameraBag and Hipstamatic, but I’m eager to try the other Apps listed here for future pictures. Since I am a mother of two toddlers, it is important for me to get lots of pictures of them at each stage. Having the camera on the phone is by far the most convenient and easy way to shoot and catalog pictures even though I do lug my high res digital camera when I can think to bring it along.

        @openmindedproduction you can add your own music by going to the insert clips and pnsreisg audio. And yes you can choose to balance it out with the clips audio originally as it was taking. Just dont turn the clips audio off and u can hear the original audio along with your own music Was this answer helpful?

      I want camera bag! I’ve always wanted a holga or loma but hesitated because they were film. But with this app you don’t have to worry about that…and the effect is practically the same!

      Thanks for this great list. I didn’t even know half of these things were out there!

      I can’t wait to try these apps. I like the idea of perfectly clear, since my hands either seem to shake or my kids tend to move to fast, my picures are always so blurry. Gonna try them all out, perfect list with the holidays coming!

        If you have a Smart Board, there is an app called Splastop White Board that aowlls you to control your computer desktop remotely through the wifi connection. It costs $9.99, but you can write on the board, etc from anywhere in the classroom. It requires you downlad a program to you PC but it works very well.

        Heya just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the imaegs aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

      Great list. There are a couple on here I want to try. I did a post of my top 5 apps. (www.doncrossland.com) You covered TiltShiftGen which I use to the point of overuse (probably). Camera Bag is awesome and the first photo app I ever downloaded. Hipstamatic is very cool but it does have it’s limits. The two that are missing from your list that I really like is HDR Pro which makes amazing HDR photos and lets you control the mix of the two exposures. Best Camera is another one I love. You can apply filters and bring in other photos to share on the Best Camera website as well as posting to your Flickr, Twitter and Facebook accounts, all at the same time.

      Useful little bit of info: when you are lokonig at apps to download from the app store, those that are designed to go on an iPod and the iPad will have a small plus sign in the corner. The apps that are designed specifically for the iPad are going to be much clearer and easier to read and will not work on an iPod.
