QuickAdvice: Create Real 3D Photos with 3D Camera

QuickAdvice: Create Real 3D Photos with 3D Camera

3D Camera is an app that does just one thing, and does it well: creates 3D photos. Love it or hate it, 3D is here to stay. I thought it was dead for a while, after the cheesy 3D films of my childhood, but Avatar brought it right back to the front and center of pop culture. Want to get in on the trend? Well, I don’t know how to make a 3D movie, but you can certainly create your very own authentic 3D (and mock 3D) photos.

QuickAdvice: TiltShift Free - Trendy Cool Photo Effect for Free!

QuickAdvice: TiltShift Free - Trendy Cool Photo Effect for Free!

If you wanted to try out the trendy TiltShift lens (as described in the AppList, Photographer’s Kit). If you were intrigued but didn’t want to shell out the $.99, you’re in luck. Now there is a lite version, so you can check it out for free. You won’t get full resolution photos; for that you’ll need to upgrade to the paid version. But otherwise, all of the functionality is the same.
