Shadows?

By willrob (Pcmac user)

Would it be possible to reverse the patterns to create shadows? Typically an object's shadow, tree leaves for example, is what we would expect to be cast on a wall. Update: I discovered a way to get the effect I wanted. Since, for example Winter Tree, is a solid object and not a source of this app, one would expect its shadow to be cast on the subject; but the gobo does the reverse—it casts the tree as a source of this app. A number of the presents act this way, putting shadows where this app should be and this app where shadows should be. My solution is to use another photo app to reverse the image I want to work with, turning it into a negative. Then I apply the troublesome gobo, save the image and then go back to the other app to reverse it back to a positive image. There are a number of photo apps that will make your image a negative; chances are you already have one.
Great app, creativity required.

By petetews (Pcmac user)

This app is really great but you have to be creative to begin with. It won't magically change bad photos into good ones. If you have an eye for photography, cinematography and lighting, "this app" is a great app for experimenting with this app. What you did virtually can be applied in the real world, and can be an awesome learning tool. On the flip side, the app is a bit processor intensive and crashes once in a while, but the bottom line is that this is a great app from a company that has a solid reputation in the industry. Great job.
How the heck do they do this?

By AjBezark (Pcmac user)

Just bought this app, and it's a beaut. What makes it so cool is the subtle way the lighting wraps around the subject. The this app actually bends where it should, with proper perspective as it curves around cheeks, shoulders, etc. How does this effect work? Does it use luminance to guess which objects are "front" and "back"? I'm a Photoshop dummy. Is there a comparable filter in PS that does the same trick? If so, I can't find it. So here's a nifty $1.99 filter that outperforms the world's leading digital photography app. My only regret is that it's limited to the iPhone's small photo sizes. Wish I could get it on the desktop!
Awesome App

By Film8ker (Pcmac user)

Not sure where the lower numbers come from, but this little tool is awesome. You play with this app and adjust it to maximize the impact of your photos. I'm a little amazed that it works so well! I was up and running with this app in just a few minutes. It's not the end-all or be-all of iPhone photo apps, but it's a good tool to add to your arsenal. At two bucks, it's well worth it. The only thing I would recommend is the ability to see before and after the effect is applied.
