"A picture," so the old saw goes, "is worth a thousand words." That may well be so, but if researchers at the University of Michigan and Adobe Research get their way, a few sentences could soon be sufficient to make that picture just a little bit more worthy. Their creation, a prototypical, voice-activated image editor called PixelTone, lets...
It's baaack. Only a week after being kicked out of the Apple App Store for allegedly featuring "pornographic images," popular photo sharing app 500px was available once again for the iPhone and the iPad.
It was unclear exactly what has changed in the 500px app that allowed it to return to the Apple app store but,...
Here's a cool freebie if you're a fan of Adobe's Lightroom and you have an iPad: it's called Lightroom Magazine and it's filled with tips and tricks for Adobe's popular image management program.
Put together by Lightroom guru Scott Kelby and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, the first issue of this...
Camera phones are great for capturing spontaneous images and video clips in good light when you haven't got a dedicated camera handy, but with their tiny sensors and often rather basic lenses, they can struggle in low light even for relatively static subjects. The situation isn't helped by the fact that they lack tripod mounts, forcing you to...
Photo editing on Android smartphones and tablets just got a lot more intuitive, thanks to the release of a new app that had until now been an iOS exclusive. For Android users, Nik Software's Snapseed has been a long time coming, but its arrival is accompanied by some great news: it's now free.
Nik first shipped the app for Apple's popular...
If driving around trying to find places to buy and process film using the Kodak app we reported on earlier today doesn't seem like your idea of fun, then perhaps a new iPhone app from Alien Skin software will be more your cup of tea.
If you like to fiddle with your images in post-processing, chances are you're...
35mm film might not entirely have gone the way of the dodo, but it's certainly seen more popular days. There are still more than a few photographers who refuse to entirely retire their film cameras, though. For them, it can be a little tricky finding places to buy film any more, let alone to get it developed.
A...
Bird photographers are going to love this. It's a cleverly designed bird feeder you can use to remotely snap close-up photos of feathered visitors.
Called Bird Photo Booth, the device was invented by ornithologist Bryson Lovett to snare photos of birds who come to the feeder for a bite.
Set up is fairly simple....
Four months ago, Woodman Labs launched its GoPro Wi-Fi BacPac accessory, promising the ability to control GoPro HD Hero 2 cameras from Android or iOS smartphones and tablets. The Android app might still not have arrived, but the other half of the promise was fulfilled a few days ago, with the launch of a new GoPro app for Apple's iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices.
The new...
Last February, photo sharing site SmugMug launched a new app aimed at making iPhone photography a more awesome experience. That app, dubbed Camera Awesome, has done very well for SmugMug. Offered free of charge, it has a score of over four out of five from well over 10,000 user ratings--not bad at all for an app...
This Nikon AF-S 55-200mm F/4-5.6 zoom lens is not a lens all. It's actually a small portable speaker you can use to add volume to your laptop, iPhone, iPad or smart phone.
The "Portable Lens USB Speaker" has a built-in battery that's charged via a USB line. When fully charged, it can crank your tunes for up to four...
The cloud is not enough, Revel Product Manager Sumner Paine told us in July.
With our photos scattered across our phones, tablets and multiple computers, a lot of companies want you to store your collection in their cloud. But they're missing an essential ingredient, Paine said.
That's a great photo app that runs on...
Tiffen knows the difference between a filter and a special effect. Fortunately, both are on the guest list for the party that's Photo fx Ultra, which runs rather nicely on a iPad with iOS 4.3 or later.
Now in its fifth version, Photo fx Ultra provides eight categories of 77 filters with 934 presets (all with...
Canon's iEPP app for iOS and Android lets you print and scan wirelessly. And it makes AirPrint look like a Bluetooth copy command, providing options only available in a desktop print driver. It even cleverly manages scans in these file-less operating systems.
It works with Canon's current multifunctions, but it also brings recent non-AirPrint models into the wireless game. We...
Among photographers using Apple iOS devices, Nik Software's Snapseed Mobile is without doubt one of the most popular paid apps. That's not surprising. Snapseed offers the rare combination of a feature set that doesn't feel too hobbled by the mobile operating system platform, and a user interface that's really intuitive. It doesn't hurt that with standard pricing of around $5,...
There have been a lot of interesting crowd-funded Kickstarter projects so far along with some more laughable ones. Add the Brydge + iPad project to the interesting category. (Actually make that the very interesting category.)
Ever since we got our iPad, we've searched high and low for a good solution for adding a keyboard to Apple's tablet so we could type more quickly. Yes,...
We have camera bags up the wazoo but the ones we grab when we're in a hurry tend to have two things in common: they're relatively small and they're inconspicuous. Think Tank Photo, one of our favorite bag companies, just announced it will be releasing a new bag in May called the Retrospective 7 and it seems to fit those discrete characteristics.
Available in three...
Hasselblad has today released new versions of its Phocus tethered shooting software for MacOS, as well as the Phocus Mobile app for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The updates are particularly interesting because they aim to solve a common problem on larger photo shoots: the huddle around the monitor to review images as they're captured.
With Phocus 2.6.6 and Phocus Mobile 2.0,...
If you've been holding your breath waiting for an app that does photo ebooks on the iPad, you can now exhale. 58 North has just released Pholium, with which you can create and publish your own photos in an ebook.
We gave it a try yesterday and had a ball. It's elegant interface makes it easy to use and gets out of the way so you can play with the images you place on the pages...
Photo sharing site SmugMug's recently-announced photography app--Camera Awesome--has proven very popular according to the company, which reports today that its creation is now the number one photo app in 55 countries. After more than two million downloads in just the first week, Camera Awesome has gone on to pass four million downloads in its first month on Apple's App Store...
