If you upload a lot of photos from your iPhone to Dropbox, you know it's kind of a pain in the butt. Opening the Dropbox app and then individually transferring each photo takes quite some time, and there's no batch photo select option available. Quickshot with Dropbox for iOS offers a way to get the job done, though.
With Quickshot, you just select a photos folder in your Dropbox and start ...

An Italian iPhone blog has uncovered references to some interesting photo effects in the just-released iOS 4.3 beta. It's not clear which iPhone and iPad apps will be able to make use of these effects -- including Thermal camera, X-ray, Kaleidoscope, Tunnel of light, Collapse, Turbines and Glow -- but rumors are now flying about possible Photo Booth and iChat apps coming to iOS devices.

Here at Download Squad, we're always on the lookout for cool little mobile apps that are both fun to use and useful. Sometimes that involves tickling our creative side and that's where Instagram comes in. Instagram, like many other apps available on the iPhone, allows you to take an image and apply effect filters to it. Some like 'Lord Kelvin" age your photo, others such as "Inkwell" desaturate ...

If you don't know what RAW format is, you can stop reading now. If, on the other hand, you've just bought a brand new camera, shot a few pictures, and then bashed your head against your shiny white miracle machine because it doesn't recognize the file format -- well, I have good news! Apple's Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.3 adds RAW support for a bunch of brand new cameras to Aperture ...

By now, we've all seen that the iPhone 4's camera will be a heck of a lot better than the camera on the iPhone 3GS. Tarnation! it even shoots HD video!

Camera+ basically collects all the best features of other iPhone photo apps and rolls them into one pretty package.

Flickr is one of those websites that are so chock-full of stuff (whether it is features or just images), I almost always find something cool when I go prowling around in it. And the other day I found out about something which many of you may know, but was certainly new for me: Flickr's Camera Finder.
When you take a photo, the camera includes its own make and model, as well as a whole bunch of ...

There are plenty of rumors about a camera -- or maybe even a camera on each side! -- for future versions of the iPad. Well, you can get the camera of the future right now, as long as you happen to have an iPhone 3GS, too. I know, that's a lot of pricey Apple gadgets. Fortunately, setting up your iPhone as a wireless iPad camera only costs a buck. You just need two apps: Camera A and Camera B.

Have you ever wished you could see what you look like with only one eye? Yeah, me neither. But, if you DO want to, there's a web-toy called Monoclopse that will let you do exactly that.
The site offers up a grid of other users' pictures that they created using Monoclopse, and you can click the camera icon to create your own. Rather than using your webcam to take a photo, Monoclopse asks you to ...

iPhone owners might not have access to iPhone OS 3.2 yet, but it's already running on the new iPad. Our sister site, Engadget, was able to score some of the details of the new features in 3.2, and it sounds like it's going to be great for both the iPhone and the iPad. The biggest surprise might be the inclusion of some video calling code that even includes multitasking while on a video call. This ...

Since almost all phones can now take photos, many people have both a phone and a regular camera (or four) that they manage with their Mac. By default, you can choose whether to automatically open iPhoto when a camera is connected, but what if you want to do different things depending on which camera you connect? A new application by Flexibits has just been released to deal with this ...

Email n' Walk is one of the most innovative uses of the iPhone's camera I've seen in quite a while. It lets you compose a normal email, but the text fields are overlaid on top of the view from your iPhone's camera. Finally, a solution to embarrassing accidents where you walk into a signpost while typing on your phone -- not that I would know about that from experience, or anything. Email n' Walk ...

If you've been following the new iTunes app store, you might be wondering how all those screenshots got there. Some people seem to think you need to run an iPhone simulator or install an app to create them, but there's actually a built-in way to do it right on your phone or pod. We thought this would be a good time to go over it. Step 1: Briefly hold down the power button on the top of your ...
