The image selection in the iTunes display was intriguing: down it came.

As should be the case, the developer shows images that indicate the potential that a user should be able to produce. The screenshots for Waterlogue 1.0 (released 11 December) showed several options for output using watercolor themes. Examples of this type of app include Cartoonatic (from MacPhun whose Focus 2 for the Mac I reviewed a couple of days ago), Etchings, from Mindsea Development, and Manga Camera. I also rather like apps that change the photograph to look more like a drawing. While I prefer black and white output for photographs, there are a couple of apps that have a good filter selection, such as the excellent Autodesk app, Pixlr-o-matic, and Distressed FX from We Are Here. As many of the apps I download are free or just a couple of dollars, the slightly higher $3.99 suggested there might be the little extra that makes all the difference. Initially I saw the unusual icon and then the name and then the price. However, once in a while, an app will have something that puts it above others.Īn App named Waterlogue caught my attention this week. I am rather fond of apps that use the iPhone camera output, but there is a degree of saturation in this area. Although most of these end up not in my favourites list, there are a number that are worth a closer examination. I regularly scan the new arrivals section of the iTunes App Store on the lookout for interesting apps and each week download a selection.
