LINE Camera

LINE Camera App for iPhone

     Viva La Photo Booth Applications!  Especially the free ones.  When it comes to top picks, this application is on the list for sure.  I only wish i would have found it sooner!
     When you initially start up the application, it goes straight to camera mode.  You can click the bottom right icon to choose an album photo.  otherwise, click a new photo and begin your photo sticker journey.
     Once you have your photo you can crop it to choose the part you wish to use.  Or leave it at it's full size.  Click "Design" and start making it cuter.
     You are now in the filter section.  You can choose one of the 'many' available filters for your photo.  Or you can choose to stick with the original photo.  There are so many filters to choose from here, you should at least give them a quick look through.  Or choose to alter the contrast, saturation and brightness of  your photo by clicking the little sun icon on the right.  below are some filter samples for you to see.

     We aren't finished yet.  Once you're done tweaking your base photo, it's time for a frame and some stickers.  See the yellow "FX"?  That's where you can find the fun stuff.  Click the frame icon to bring up the list of frames.  Again there is a huge selection to choose from here.  You're bound to find one you can use for your photo.  Honestly this application has one of the largest selections of decorating options I have ever seen.  Especially for a free app!  It's mind boggling.

     Once you choose a frame, you can click the little star icon.  This is where you'll find all your basic stickers.  They also have the option of adding a photo instead of a stamp.  I opted for stamps with mine.  but it's a really nice option for people who want to make collages. 

      When you load the stamp screen you'll first see the stamps you've used most recently.  If this is your first time using this application, clearly this part will be blank for you.
     The heart icon will take you to the basic theme area.  Hearts, sparkles (I love adding sparkles), stars, flowers and jewels can be found in this section.
     The smiley face takes you to a really fun selection of stickers/stamps.  Little characters from LINE who make silly little faces and such.  I love them so much, they make me smile.  They have Moon & James, Brown & Cony, "others" (Other characters), fruit, Drink, Animal and hands (Gestures like "OK" and "Thumbs up").
     Clicking the glasses will take you to the apparel/costume selection of stamps.  This application has the best selection of costume items I have ever seen, hands down.  Glasses, Ribbons (Hair accessories.  They aren't really all ribbons), 'anime parts' (For those of you who want your photos to look like Japanese cartoon characters.  They have cartoon hair, bunny ears, big sparkly eyes, blush marks and more), eyes, Hair for girls, hair for boys, head accessories, head accessories 2 and accessories.

     The stamps work the same as any photo booth app.  Tap where to set them, turn and resize until it's where you want it.  You can undo or trash any stamp, if you decide it doesn't work for you.  Tapping an already set down stamp puts it back in edit mode so you can shift it some more if you decide later that you don't like it's position.
     Clicking the pen icon you can start drawing on your photo.  You can choose the style and colour of your pen and erase what you've done.  The pen style selection is also pretty impressive.  Dotted, dashed, sparkles, patterned, neon, inner glow, in-out, see through... just to name a few.
     The text button allows you to add text to your photo.  You can choose from a variety of fonts.  Of course this too has a huge selection.  There has to be somewhere around 50+ font styles available.
     Once you have finished, and your photo looks perfect, you'll wish to save.  After the save to your album it will prompt you to share your new creation.  You can opt out of sharing by clicking the "Return to camera" option.  You can save it to LINE if you have an account there.  You can also upload it to Facebook, Twitter, Mixi, Cyworld or a variety of other social networks.
     In closing I believe that if you like editing photos, or having fun with photo booths, this is the application for you.  It's versatile, it's clean and easy to use.  Even if you're not interested in placing stamps and such, the filter and cropping options alone are worth the download.  So what are you waiting for?  Go download it!
