2012-03-14
this episode of what see apps is brought to you by hostgator well oh there's John Q here from technobuffalo house ago and welcome to another episode of what's the apps today we are going to get our iphoto on with apples I photo app for the iPad and iPhone and iPod touch yes as you guys know apple recently released the new iPad with the appropriate yet semi confusing name the new iPad and with that they've also released I photo which is now available for download on to your iOS devices and for you windows folks out there who don't know what I photo is it's basically Mac OS is photo library or photo browser I photo on iOS brings the same experience from your mac OS power device on to your tablet and or phone with the ability to edit pictures and enhance them and everything the user experience is extremely intuitive I was able to navigate and edit my photos right away which is excellent if you do need some help just have the question mark at the top and instructions will pop up like magic the main editing tools can be found on the bottom left which includes cropping exposure color enhancement retouching tools from repair to soften and pre-made photo effects from artistic to warming or cooling down your images the controls are also extremely fluid and the changes are seen in real time but what really blew me away ok was the applications color enhancement capabilities not only could you white balance with an array of photography standard settings but there's also a setting at the end that lets you enhance skin tone specifically it's pretty accurate and it works beautifully you can also tweak the background elements to really make the skin tone pop at first I was a little bit skeptical about iPhoto I mean for five bucks it's you know it's a little steep and it's by Apple should be free for your iOS devices and I've tried various other we have a photo enhancing application in the past and I've never really been too impressed with the quality however with iPhoto it honestly blew my mind just like how blow dryer blows hair and then the hair goes like this the built-in effects are really cool some of them include a vignette effect which you can move around or enhance for that super vignette II look another nifty feature will be that little icon at the top next to the edit button which allows you to toggle between the unedited and edited version of your picture very handy when you're trying to fine-tune your coloring and looks your photographers will like this bit I took a picture with my canon 60d which I'm using to film myself right now make yourself look pretty I take a picture of this walnut right here you can also see the camera info very posh I purposely made it look really really dull and super unsaturated just to see what I photo can really do and check this out not too shabby if I say so myself very posh still there were one or two downsides to iPhoto you can't change the brush sizes when you're trying to do your touch-ups it would definitely be handy while trying to do stuff like isolating this giant lemon right here hey speaking of Awesome i'ma take some time to thank our friends at Hostgator hey are you looking for a place to launch a brand new blog and or website but a little bit frustrated with the customer support at your current hosting provider well no worry my friends cuz Hostgator will get you up and running in minutes with plans starting at just around 396 a month you get top rated 24 7 customer support and access the tools such as a website builder with over 4000 templates that's a lot of thousands and a lot of templates plus Hostgator will leave in my great your current site over for free their servers are one hundred and thirty percent powered by wind energy it's completely green web hosting plus you get unlimited disk space and bandwidth not to mention you also get a 45-day money-back guarantee and also one hundred dollars in Google AdWords credit to market your website right now for you rev three viewers post Gators offering twenty five percent off your order or your first month free just go to hostgator.com and entering the coupon code technobuffalo that's technobuffalo at the checkout to get your discount back to the review overall I photo is a fantastic application the price is a little bit steep in my opinion but if you want a high quality application with semi photoshop level photo enhancements on the go it's totally worth it whether you're a seasoned photographer or just someone who likes you take pictures you're gonna have a lot of fun with iphoto 4 out of 5 well I hope you guys enjoyed this review in for your iOS folk happy I photo Inge this would John Q from TechnoBuffalo thank you very much for stopping by and I'll see you guys next time latest
