iPhone apps: my fab five

Yesterday I had the honour of doing a short segment on iPhoneography/Mobile Photography on creativeLIVE. I've been involved with creativeLIVE for a number of years, first as a volunteer and then as an employee, it's a pretty cool place to be. But yesterday was a very different experience, which I'll share more on later.I wanted to quickly answer one of the questions that was posed a few times: What are my top 5 go-to apps?! So here they are, with links and a few examples...My fab five:Hipstamatic - iPhone - $1.99 + in App upgradesThese two images were captured via hipstamatic, they are "straight out of camera", no other edits than the filter combination used for shooting.Snapseed - iPhone - Android - FREE!These images were edited with Snapseed. Snapseed is a very robust editor! check out my tutorial on Snapseed here. Some of the functionality has changed a little since I did this post, but there's still a lot of great information there!VSCO Cam - iPhone - Android - FREE w/in App upgradesThis was edited via VSCO cam. VSCO offers a handful of "film/analogue" styled filters, occasionally they will have free upgrade packs and additional packs you can purchase.PicFX - iPhone - $1.99Picfx is filled with lots of fun filters, some crazy colours and awesome textures + effects. You can control the amount of the effect that's applied as well stack effects on top of one another.This image was edited with PicFX + MexturesMextures - iPhone - $1.99Mextures has different filter options, some colour gradients, textures and event a little grit and grain. Want to get a little dirt on your iPhone images and make it appear as if the image was created years ago, this is a fun option to play with. Like Picfx you can stack effects on top of one another. You can also use different blending modes, like "Overlay, Screen, Multiply... " sounds like Photoshop doesn't it?!This image was shot with Hipstmatic and edited with VSCOcam, Mextures + Picfx.Thanks for asking and please let me know if you have more questions!~ kate
