Light app for iPhone


Digital Film Tools has launched Light for the iPhone and iPod touch. The app attempts to add realistic light or shadowing effects to pictures, using digital versions of the pattern library created by Gamproducts. Patterns can be applied to a whole picture or a designated area, and are divided into five different categories: breakups, foliage, lights, sky and windows.

A position slider controls the location of light, while a range slider determines quantity. Other options include brightness, blurring and displacement tweaks, along with adjustments for size and rotation. Light can be isolated in the selection screen.

Users can also edit in both portrait and landscape modes, and shake the editing screen to reset controls, or the patterns screen for a random pattern. Light is currently selling for $2 at the App Store.

    Why

    on earth would you want to edit the crappy photos that cone off the iPhone on the iPhone? Everything else I love about my phone but the camera really is c***.

    For Macintosh, too?

    While I agree the iPhone's camera leaves something to be desired in this iteration of hardware, I can see the potential beyond the iPhone. This apps' ability to add realistic lighting effects actually could be a cool thing for serious image editing. How about making it available as a plug-in for Photoshop and/or other image-processing apps on the Macintosh?
