★ A hand-engraved mahogany box to store all your photo supplies and prints
Pros and cons of SwankoLab app for iPhone and iPad
SwankoLab app good for
Super interface, loads of fun, great creative results! But despite purchasing a "lifetime" subscription there have been no new additions or updates since :(
Find a way to make it compatible/différent/complementary Of Hipstamatic.
Very much appreciated
Thx
So many chemicals, and control how much or little of EACH chemical makes this the best picture app I ever owned ( and Ive tried 45 of them) best app for iphoneography :-)
This is a great photography app for the iPhone. You take your images and apply various filters that have fancy names. The user interface is very unique, but can be a bit overdone at times. Do I really have to wait 6 seconds for an animation before I can see my final image?! That being said, there are a good amount of filters to play with that are far more creative than those seen in many other apps. Furthermore, there is a bit of creativity that is sparked within the user when you play around with concoctions to find that right formula. Dont expect this to play out like a real darkroom though. Its a fun app thatll give your iPhone photos a little more pop.
An amazing app. Its incredible the level of detail that was put into this. Super fun and easy to use. A must buy for any iphonorapher.
Im having a blast playing with this app! Some of my pics turn out terrible, some awesome, but thats where the fun comes from! Definitely recommend it!
Some bad moments
No Updates Since 2010 !!!! Are you joking ?!?! It is a shame, And im actually saying at every person to do not Buy this App because there Is never new chemicals (No CrossProcess, ni Slight Negative Color effect...)And no sharing (to other Apps or to Social Networks. This App Is just a ruin get a bit More deeper everyday. As I Said, just a shame ! What Is the use of a "lifetime subscribe" to Uncle Stus magazine ?!?!
When edited in the app pictures lost a lot of their definition and resolution. Also the app is fun and playful, but slow.
Its not possible to save images in original size. Until theyve resolved that, only one star from me.
this one doesnt work as well. I agree with the below post that says it doesnt play well with hipstamatic, it makes everything look overdone.
regular photos just look like theyve got photoshop glitz added. they dont look darkroom altered any more than any other post-photo app
the chemicals dont do anything that the other post-photo apps cant do. (I suggest mill street, which is free or photo-fx, which is not)
the things that are charmingly realistic about hipstamatic just seem time consuming here.
hipstamatic is the best photo app in the store, this one just looks nice.
I was excited for this app as I like Hipstamatic and hoped it would be able to fix my craving for getting the look of Hipstamatic in my own post processing. So I gave it a try. Fail. Epic fail even. If you like everything to be ridiculously over saturated, not look anything like its other product, be annoyingly slow and you want to waste more money to try the other chemicals, then this is the app for you. If you want faster development, more variety and control of saturation then get Picture Show. Bonus: it costs less too.
Way too laden with animation and virtually no user control over outcome. There is very little of the magic that Hipstamatic brings to picture taking here. Dont waste your money.
