Narrow utility, few options
I absolutely love hipstamatics type films in the original app. As with most of their filters
These are great "out of the box," but
require exporting the photo to
another app if you want to tweak
properties like saturation. I had
hoped this app would be an equally
awesome filter out of the box, but
with built in options to customize.
It is not. The basic tintype effect is
slightly inferior to the Hipstamatic
Films and there are few parameters
to play with. The most unique feature,
the dodge and burn for eyes, only
works when a face is very clearly in
close close focus, and is thrown off
by the lenses of glasses. Given the right
kind of photo, a very specific kind
of portrait, the app is ok, but it
lacks both the automatic quality
of the hipstapaks as well as lots
of options. 2.5 stars. I am using
it, but I look forward to an update!
