Princess Camera

Princess Camera App for iPhone
     Let me start by saying that this is my absolute favourite photo editing/decorating app on iPhone.  Period.
     So, what makes this any better than any other photo decorating application in the app store?  First, it's thorough.  You don't just add stickers and frames.  You can change the brightness and contrast, change the background, add stickers/bubbles/glitter, add a frame, and write over your photo.  It's also a quality app.  It has a huge selection of add ons.  It does a great job of making your photo brighter.  You can make your own custom stamps, or even trade with other people.  You can also make cards to send to your friends.
     One of my favourite features is that the camera option adds a timer.  So you can set the phone down, move away, and pose.  It's so much easier than stretching your arm out in front of you.  Why doesn't the iPhone camera have this feature built in?!  This alone would have been reason for me to pay for this app.
     Upon starting the app you'll see 3 options.  Take Photo is obviously to take a new photo to edit.  The Edit option is for editing pre-existing photos and such.  And square loads up the additional option content.
     If you choose Edit you'll be taken to the screen you see to the left.  You can select a photo from your album to edit.  This is also where you can create stamps that you can use on your photos.  This is an option I have never seen in any other photo decorating app.
     In the Square you can trade stamps with other users.  You can also send cards or photos to people via email or Twitter from here.  You can browse your custom stamps and even change the theme of the app.  Not a fan of pink?  You can change the app's background to something else!  You can also adjust the quality of the photo output, which is very useful.
     When you take a new photo, or edit an existing photo, before you start adding glitter and cat whiskers you'll be prompted about adjusting the brightness of the photo.  I recommend doing this.  It can really help the photo to look crisper, which makes it more ideal for editing.
      Cards can be used to say "Happy Birthday" or "Wish You Were Here" to your friends.  Maybe you want to promote your new Twitter account or website?  You can make a card for that too.  Want to show off photos of your new puppy?  Make a card!
     Custom stamps and photo stamps can be added to your palette so you have more variety when you want to edit a photo.  After you make a few, go to the Square to trade them with your friends.  Maybe someone else has some really cute custom made stamps that you'll want to add to your photos as well.  This is a really unique feature, and I love it.
     I know this application might seem a bit pricey, but if you're into photo editing and decorating, it's money well spent.  If you only want one app for decorating your photos, this is the app to download.  Hands down...
