QuickAdvice: Love Retro Camera Apps? You Need Infinicam!
Infinicam ($1.99) by Nevercenter Ltd. Co. is a retro camera app with nearly infinite ways to alter your photos! Infinicam was created by the developers of the popular app CameraBag. But instead of a set number of pre-defined retro looks, Infinicam lets you mix and match different effects for endless combinations.
Create photos with the look of a toy camera, an old digital camera, photos faded over time, different shades of black and white, vignetting, color gels, grainy looks, light leak, pinhole, interesting borders, and so much more.
Select a photo (the stack o’ photos icon) or take one in-app (camera icon). Crop your photo as desired by tapping the crop icon. A random camera style will be initially chosen for you. Swipe left or right to see other styles. And of course, simply tap the disk icon to save -- you will be given the option to save or email. You will also choose photo size: 600px, 800px, 1200px, or Full.
In addition to swiping, you can tap the New Camera button to generate a new random camera style. Each camera style has a 7-digit code. Tap the code or the picture to bring up a list of your favorite camera styles, borders, and your history (which styles/codes you have used so far). To re-use a code, tap it, then load or take a picture. Hold down the New Camera button to enter any code you’d like.
A level on the bottom left will point to a dot or a star -- the star indicating your favorite styles. Move the lever to favorite or un-favorite a certain style. Whenever you favorite a style, you will be given the option to name it; otherwise it will be called Favorite 1, Favorite 2, and so on.
In a market saturated with toy camera, lomography, analog, and retro camera apps, this app stands out for its sheer volume of super cool effects. It’s fun and easy to use. Infinicam is definitely a worthwhile addition to your collection of photography apps!
