Exciting News - Chromocam Dots Featured on iTunes!
Although I was already happy with how Chromocam has done so far, I got a nice ray of sunshine through my office window when I opened up iTunes Connect one sleepy morning and saw 20x the usual amount of downloads for Chromocam Dots. Now, I did some quick googling, checked search.twitter.com, and didn’t see much. I actually figured it was a bug in iTunes reporting, especially since they had...

Just a quick post to let everyone know that Chromocam Dots 1.1 is released! With this update, we get some little UI bugfixes- and a new feature!

I’ve already found a bit of an embarassing bug… when you upload your creation to Twitter, it sends along text that says Chromocam is still in Beta! :( But, I already had a feature update ready to send out, so there will be an update to...

FAQ
How do I get started? Take a picture by pressing the camera icon in the bottom-left corner. Then, when you are happy with the photo, click “Use” and then the dots will start appearing. Control their speed, size, and transparency with the settings icon in the middle of the tool bar. Try adjusting the mix of the dots and original image by pressing and dragging on the image in the...

UI Lesson Learning
The Chromocam beta has been great so far, getting some interesting shots and some great feedback from my testers. I’m happy to say that initial reports say the app is stable, and runs smoothly on all iPhone generations, from 2G to 3GS. But of course, a decent amount of code is going to be rewritten anyway. Why would I rewrite code, and why aren’t I more upset? Actually, I’ve...

Chromocam is in Beta!
I am very excited to announce that Chromocam Dots is in the hands of beta testers, and is fully underway it’s journey to the app store. I know that for an iPhoneography app, Chromocam is taking a long time to be released, especially since its focus is on one particular abstract ‘effect’, but I want to make sure that its simplicity is backed up by functionality. This app is...

Chromocam: Modernist iPhone Photography
iPhone Photography, or iPhoneography is a rapidly growing section of the iPhone app store. Millions of people have experienced the joy that is the simplicity of the iPhone camera, and the surprising quality of the hardware on even the first generation iPhone. Having owned probably a half dozen different digital cameras, including a high end DSLR, I have to say, the iPhone camera has a special...

The Making of Chromocam: Hi-Res iPhoneography
Over at the iPhoneography blog, as well as at Life in LoFi, the authors are lamenting the fact that many iPhone apps save at a low resolution. And they are puzzled, as they should be. Why would some apps like CameraBag or MonoPhix save at nice resolutions, and yet others save at 320 x 480, the iPhone screen resolution? Well, the answer is… lazy programmers. I can’t say that I blame...
