PictureShow

PictureShow is fairly robust app, offering a variety of filter pre-sets, frames, and more. I can't say how long I've had this app, but it's been at least a year or more. I really enjoy a handful of the filters, when I want a specific effect and there's a couple of frames that I really dig too.I have only ever really used this app for post-production. In my preparation of these notes today I've made the realisation that it does even more than I thought. If you choose to use this as a camera replacement app, the app offers the following four "toy camera" kind of lenses: Single Shot, Quad, Vertical Quad, Multiple Exposure and HalfShot.Starting from the mainscreen here's a break down of the options…The Heart icon allows you to favourite a setting, so if you've created an edit that you really like and think you'd want to use again in the future, this is the way to save it.Presets: Tap on Original to load your preset options. Note: There may be a different word here, the app will automatically load the last set of options you applied to your new image. Simply tap on whatever word is here to load the drop down list of 45, yep, that's right, 45 presets.Reset: If you don't like the previously used edit on your current photo just click the reload (reset) rounded arrow to the right of the preset name.Shuffle: Use this to let the app select a random preset for you.Photo: Tap on this to either take a new photo or import a photo from your camera roll.Style: This includes a few options- Frame: 20+ Frame options- Light: 10 Light Leak effects- Noise/Grunge/Texture: 10+ effects- Vignet: Brighten or Darken the corners of the image- Reset: Reset the controls to start over**There's also a little slider on the right, tap on this to hide the previews of the effects to see the full image.Color: This includes options to control the following items:Red/Green/Blue colour channels, Brightness & Contrast.
