| Bringing Big Smiles to iPhone Shutterbugs |
A basic tenet of photography is that the best
camera is the one you have on hand when you need
it. For many people these days, that means an
iPhone.

Camera Genius is a do-it-all app that includes a
digital zoom, shutter release and photo timer.
Photogene helps with cropping, sharpening and
straightening images.
It’s easy to understand why: not only is the
iPhone a universal communications tool, its one-
button camera is also stunningly simple to use.
“It really opens your eyes creatively when you
have to take a photo with something with such
limited functionality,” said Chase Jarvis, a
commercial photographer
based in Seattle who has been smitten by the
iPhone’s camera. “The beauty is in its
simplicity. There are no lights or other
equipment.”

But you can add creative control and
functionality with camera tools from the Apple
App Store. Like the iPhone itself, iPhone camera
apps are snap-simple to use,
according to Mr. Jarvis, who has developed his
own app (more on that later), published an iPhone
photo book and started an online community for
iPhone photo
enthusiasts.
Just as the iPhone is a very basic camera, so too
are the camera apps. None deliver the
functionality of Photoshop CS4, nor will they
endow your iPhone with digital
S.L.R.-like powers. The best hit the sweet spot
where appropriate features and usability meet,
although there is no shortage of goofy one-trick
gimmicks.
Roughly 2,000 camera apps are available at prices
that start at the unbeatable free and typically
top out at $2.99. Here are 15 that will help you
capture, edit,
enhance and share your images.

Snap the Shot
Camera Genius (99 cents): This do-it-all app
includes an intuitive digital zoom, a full-screen
shutter release that enables you to tap anywhere
on the LCD to snap a
shot and a photo timer that will automatically
capture the action. Also part of the package is a
grid that helps you level a photo and an
antishake feature that waits
until the phone is steady to release the shutter.
Best Camera ($2.99): Mr. Jarvis collaborated with
a software developer to design an app to help
create, edit and share photos. Best Camera
includes a full-screen
shutter release, an antishake feature and a
shutter timer. After snapping the shot, you can
apply a range of filters and effects; should you
get carried away, you can
simply remove the filters you’ve applied. The
sharing feature enables one-click uploads to
Facebook, Twitter and e-mail accounts. You can
also share photos in real
time on Mr. Jarvis’s new online community,
thebestcamera.com.

Snapture ($1.99): Burst mode is great for sports
or action shots, and Snapture gets the ball
rolling by snapping three consecutive shots. It
includes a leveler, a
full-screen shutter release and a 5X digital
zoom. Some of its features are curiously hidden,
so it’s a good idea to click the info link for an
overview.
Camera Zoom 2 (99 cents): The App Store offers a
handful of digital zoom tools, but Camera Zoom 2
is the best. It provides a 4X digital zoom that
is easily adjustable.
It produces slightly sharper images than free
apps and also includes a full-screen shutter, an
antishake feature and a shutter-release timer.
Night Camera (99 cents): The iPhone flails in low
light, but this app can restore a little detail
to photos. Night Camera employs the iPhone’s
accelerometer to fire
the shutter only when the camera is stable. It
also includes full-screen shutter release and the
ability to save images in black and white or
sepia.

Edit and Add Filters
Photogene ($2.99): This capable, easy-to-use app
enables you to apply standard fixes like crop,
sharpen and straighten. You can correct colors
(using a histogram or an
auto button) and tweak exposure and contrast.
Photogene goes beyond standard editing with the
ability to add thought bubbles and other shapes
as well as a variety of
frame types and effects. It includes multiple
undo, so edit with abandon.

Crop for Free (free): Cropping is a must-have
utility, and this one is free. Just click the
crop icon, grab the red brackets in any corner of
the photo and drag to
size. Easy as pie.
CameraBag ($1.99): If you buy just one filter
app, make it CameraBag. This tool lets you apply
vintage camera and film simulations to photos.
Helga, for instance,
creates a square-format toy camera treatment with
washed-out highlights and retro vignettes. Other
filters include Magazine (rich tones), Mono
(balanced black and
white), 1974 (faded and tinted), infrared (black
and white inverted), Lolo (hyper-vibrant),
Instant (Polaroid), 1962 (high-contrast black and
white) and fisheye. You
can combine filters to create a custom style.
It’s enormously fun and easy.
Cool fx (99 cents): Cool fx, from the camera lens
maker Tiffen, packs a whopping 172 preset filters
into one 99-cent tool. Cool fx’s five categories —
monochrome,
color, diffusion, grain and temperature — provide
a trove of film and photographic filters that
includes 70 black-and-white film filters and 50
diffusion textures,
including the esoteric Donkey Fur. You can crop
photos, create custom vignettes and adjust
brightness. The interface is a bit baffling, so
expect to spend a few
minutes learning.

2009, on page B5 of the New York edition.
ShakeItPhoto (99 cents): If you’ve noticed people
cheerfully shaking their iPhones recently,
they’re probably using ShakeItPhoto to create
a “fauxlaroid” effect.
The app is a snap to use: Select an image and
click Use, and a Polaroid-like print descends
from the top of the screen, complete with sound
effects. Shake the iPhone
to make the image “develop” faster.
iFlashReady (99 cents): iPhones are woefully
flash-less, which makes low-light situations
highly challenging. The software-based “flash”
employed by iFlashReady can
help you brighten images after they have been
captured. Many apps enable you to adjust
brightness, but iFlashReady is based on an
algorithm that its maker says
intelligently lightens each pixel.

Get Creative
ColorSplash ($1.99): Drama and fun converge in
this app, which converts images to black and
white and then lets you use your finger
to “paint” color back in on
certain areas — a stunning effect. You can zoom
in for precision finger painting, and customize
brush types and sizes. Sharing on Facebook,
Twitter and Flickr is
built into the app.
TiltShift Generator (99 cents): This app makes it
a breeze to simulate the bokeh effect produced by
D.S.L.R.’s by selecting a focal point and then
blurring the
background. TiltShift Generator offers radial or
linear blur, the size of which can be easily
adjusted. The app also enables you to tweak
saturation and brightness as
well as create custom vignettes. It features an
auto-export feature for Twitter and e-mail
accounts. One downside: Images are saved in a
noticeably lower resolution.

Sharing the Results
PixelPipe (free): PixelPipe is a fast and easy
way to upload photos and videos to all your photo-
sharing sites, microblogs, social networks and e-
mail accounts — at
the same time. The service can upload to as many
of the 95 destinations, and it can do so in full
resolution or in bandwidth-friendly smaller file
sizes. It’s easy to
set up new uploads, although it’s best to use the
app when connected to Wi-Fi.
Your photo-sharing app (free): Whatever online
photo-sharing service you favor, it has an app
that enables you to upload and download photos,
browse images stored
online, create slide shows and e-mail gallery
links. Just search the App Store for services
like Flickr, Shutterfly, Kodak Gallery,
Photobucket, SmugMug and more.

| 26 dead as Indonesian ferry sinks |
At least 26 ugg
new style people died Sunday when a ferry
sank off
the Indonesian island of Sumatra, and an unknown
number of people were missing, officials said.
There were 250 survivors from the sinking, which
occurred during bad weather, according to the
ministry of
transportation. Strong winds and waves hampered
rescue efforts after the ferry sank off Riau
province.
The ferry carries passengers between Riau and
Batam island.
Bambang Ervan, spokesman for the ministry of
transportation, said authorities were
investigating because
the number of passengers did not match Ugg Fluff
Flip Flop those on the ferry's manifest.
The ministry said earlier that an estimated 260
people were aboard, while the manifest showed 213
on
board, including 15 children, plus 12 crew
members.
Overcrowding, however, is common on such ferries.
In recent years, hundreds of people have died in
ferry accidents on the boats that connect
Indonesia's
islands because of overcrowding and the fact that
safety regulations are poorly enforced.
Before they were rescued, dozens of passengers
struggled in rough waters in life jackets as bad
weather
forced emergency workers to wait air

earlier.
Weather was suspected in the sinking, one of two
in the area.
Another ferry sank on its way from Batam. All
those passengers were rescued, said Sunaryo,
directorate
general of sea transport, who only uses one name.

| Panel Approves Curbs on 'Too Big' Firms |
WASHINGTON -- A key House panel voted Wednesday
to give government the power to break up large
financial firms whose collapse might threaten the
broader economy,
despite aggressive lobbying by major financial
institutions to kill the measure.
Air
Jordan 11
The amendment illustrates how some lawmakers are
willing to go beyond the authority sought by the
White House -- which stopped short of giving
regulators power to
break up healthy firms -- in the redrawing of the
financial world's regulatory framework.
A divided House Financial Services Committee
voted 38-29 to approve an amendment offered by
Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D, Penn.) that would allow a
council of regulators to
determine whether factors including the size or
interconnectedness of an individual firm pose "a
grave threat to the United States." Such a firm
could be prohibited
from merging with another firm or be required to
sell business units or assets.
DUNN JERSEY
The measure still must be approved by the House
of Representatives and the Senate before it could
be sent to the White House for approval.
Democrats mostly supported the measure, though a
few voted with Republicans against it.
Republicans who opposed the proposal said it
would give the government nearly
unchecked powers to demand changes at otherwise
healthy companies.

"This puts the 'D' in draconian," said Rep. Jeb
Hensarling (R., Texas). Mr. Kanjorski said the
position was a difficult one for him to take, but
that "no firm should
be considered to be 'too big to fail.' "
The amendment is part of a broader legislative
overhaul of financial-sector rules pending in
Congress. If enacted, the government would have
the authority to act
aggressively to deal with a systemically risky
failure before problems become too unwieldy.
Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys
The amendment gives the government the ability
to "preemptively disassemble a business, not
because it's systemically injurious to the
economy, but because it could
be," said Rep. Scott Garrett (R., N.J.), who
opposed the amendment.
Backers say it is needed to prevent the
government from having to decide whether to bail
out a faltering company, such as American
International Group Inc., or let it
descend into an uncontrolled bankruptcy, such was
the case with Lehman Bros.
