Assistive Technologies

 

  • Assistive Lightroom– advanced editing tools including curves and colour mix tools. Selective editing healing tool and perspective correction. Get consistent looks by copying your favourite edits to an entire album of photos. Adobe Creative Cloud syncs edits between iPhone, iPad and the web. It captures RAW format images.

After using this particular app has been similar to working on Photoshop, except it is on your phone. It is useful for adjusting aspects of your pictures such as the vibrance, clarity, sharpening and more, you also adjust the colouring which helps bring the image to life. However, to make the app more effective, I think that filters should be added so that the photo’s editing process can be sped up as this app takes a while to use.

            

  • VSCO– Not only editing app, it also has and built-in camera with manual controls. These alter shutter speed, ISO and white balance.

This app serves more of an aesthetic purpose, in my opinion. When editing my own pictures, I go through the many already-made filters and choose one that I believe suits the picture the best, additionally, you can also adjust the exposure, contrast and even add tints or a grain to your photo. So it takes a while to find what you prefer, however in the end, you are left with a very aesthetically pleasing photo. I personally believe this editing app is the best out of all of the apps I have used because I think that is has more variety and I like the amount of filters that the app has to offer.

  • Miops– Connect your DSLR to simply techniques such as time-lapse, long exposure and other creative photography options.
  • When experimenting with this app, we plugged in a phone through a headphone jack to a camera, then we got someone to stand in front of the camera and scream to activate the camera, the sound of the scream will then make the camera take a picture. This app is particularly useful for when you are photographing things by yourself and want to take timer based pictures. It also gives more freedom and creativity to the photographer.
  • Snapspeed– It’s great for everyday photo editing, including exposure, colour, cropping and sharpening. It also has tools for advanced photo editing. These include curves, brushes and selective editing. And the healing tool removes unwanted subjects from photos.

I find this app very similar to other editing apps, therefore there is not anything that is particularly standing out to me, however, I do like the filter range, I think the editing tools can give a more cinematic look to your images. It also has more variety of editing tools.
