Hipstamatic Classic for iPhone

Give your digital photography an analog look

The iPhone's camera takes surprisingly good pictures, and the Hipstamatic app allows you to take retro, photos with a film camera feel.

When Hipstamatic loads, the iPhone's screen is transformed into a cheap old school camera with a small viewfinder. The turnover icon at the bottom flips the camera so you can see the front, allowing you to scroll through different lenses (three are included), choose a film and flash type.

Obviously, the iPhone has no flash or film, and all of Hipstamatic's variables are designed to simulate the looks from certain films or flash types, and the same is true of the lens. While this may seem gimmicky, the effects are pretty cool. Flashes add different sheens to your photos, the lenses have really different feels to them, and the films add borders and imperfections for that retro look.

There are two quality levels, although high quality images really do take a few seconds to 'develop'. Your Hipstamatic photos can be instantly shared via Facebook, Flickr or email. They are also kept in the iPhone's photo library. Add-ons for Hipstamatic can be bought in app that give you more lenses and films etc, but the basic pack is still really cool.

Hipstamatic is an excellent photo app for the iPhone, which adds some great effects to your photos.
