[Review] Vignette Camera App for Android
As a hobbyist photographer, by far one of my favorite apps for my phone is Vignette. I don't always have my DSLR kit with me and sometimes you come across shots that need to be taken...Vignette works both as a standalone camera app or as an tool to creatively edit existing photos.
There is a demo version - so give it a try, but I think it's well worth the price for the full version (UK?2.99/US$4.49 approx)
Vignette - Android app on AppBrain
The software works in both portrait and landscape mode now - but for the ease of screen caps with my setup all shots are in Portrait and on the Droid Incredible.
When you fire up the app you'll be given a typical camera-esque interface
Touch any of the options on screen to access their settings etc
Starting from the left - if you click on Normal you are presented with these options
Most are fairly self explanatory, blind mode turns off the display so you can't see what you're actually shooting at...
Clicking on the Composition Guide at the bottom will change what you see in the viewfinder (this is serious camera geek composition stuff here - I have rule of thirds turned on - those are the black grid lines in my first screen cap)
Click here for more information on the Rule Of Thirds and the Golden Ratio
Back to the main screen - and next up Flash settings
Next, ISO and White Balance settings...etc
Image quality settings (including Geo tagging photos)
and the far right and the most fun....effects and frames!
clicking the effects menu gets you to these options...
