The Vignette app is slightly more complicated to use, but you will soon find that the trouble is well worth the while since it has 68 effects and 56 frames, out of which includes cross-processing, double exposure and tilt-shift. The real juice is where the effects and frames are at. You can personalize your photo through selecting specific settings or you can settle for a preset under the Favorites Tab. The interface is pretty straightforward if you know your basic camera parameters well. The best thing is that you can easily place a shortcut on your home screen that fires up the camera immediately with your favorite settings. If you looking to test the waters first, you can download a free version called Vignette Demo. |

PhotoFunia promises fun, and it sure delivers a fun way to play with your photos. Reserved for the hardiest of pranksters, the app comes with over 200 zany and artistic effects, allowing you to “integrate” a hilarious Wanted Dead or Alive poster or a magazine cover with a friend’s photo. The team adds new effects every week so expect the already large library of choices to grow even bigger. On the downside, the app requires a working Internet connection to work. But as the adage goes, laughter is the best medicine so consider it a fair trade-off! |
