Tiffen has launched Photo fx , an iPhone-based version of its Dfx Digital Filter Creative Effects software. The app sports 26 filters in five groups, and provides slider controls to adjust parameters like blur or tint. Images are pulled from photos taken or stored on a handheld, and are saved separately in their edited form in order to preserve the originals.
InternetSafety.com has launched an Internet filtering app for the iPhone and iPod touch, Safe Eyes Mobile. Previously announced at the Macworld Expo, Safe Eyes Mobile works as its own web browser, and allows users to designate what types of content can be viewed while surfing. The title comes complete with over 35 different website categories, which users can customize to set a desired protection level.
Picture Safe ($2) allows users to create a password protected area to store pictures. Photos can be imported into this secure area from the camera or photo library and then sorted according to subject matter. The application also includes a couple of additional security features that can hide pictures on the screen quickly.
Skyworks has released two new football games for the iPhone and iPod touch, QB Pass Attack and X’s and O’s Football. In QB Pass Attack, players have to hurl a football into the hands of a receiver in one of two different modes, Classic or Progressive. In Classic players try to earn as many points as possible in 60 seconds, by throwing the ball to the close receiver for 7 points, or the further one for 30 points. Progressive mode has the player trying to gain yards for a touchdown before the time runs out, a feat accomplished by making complete passes. Failure to make passes or gain enough yards results in going back to the 20 yard line.
