iPhones, iPads, apps and snow

Posted by Andrew Chapman in News and Comments, 6:12am 16/01/2010. Leave a comment

I'd almost forgotten about this post that I had saved as a draft back at the beginning of January - I think I was waiting to write up with wines tasted while snowed in at home, but that somehow didn't happen. Never ever enough time!

Last night, while catching up on all the furore of the new iPad I downloaded some new apps for my iPhone, including the very nifty PhotoShop Mobile. Found lots of other less useful but highly enjoyable ones too - like Real Racing GTI (this free version sponsored by VM) and ZenBound. But it was the PhotoShop one that had me doffing my cap in admiration for those programming geniuses that develop these clever little apps - so much functionality in such a tiny little bit of software. I just had to share it with you here! Oh, and I definitely can't wait to get me one of those iPad thingy's either - perfect for surfing for wine from the comfort of your sofa

The first pic just shows a very snowy house and garden. The second one is using the PhotoShop application from the app store, working in sketch mode on that same tree you see on the left. Interesting effects with a few deft touches of the pointy figure.

Oh, and the wine was very good too - the recently arrived Crozes Hermitage Georges Reynaud from Domaine de Bruyeres. perfect with that evening's meal of rib-eye steak and garlic butter. Well, we had to keep warm somehow!

Pretty impressive little app. I'll have to give it a whirl. If I remember correctly the iPhone 3GS has a better built in camera than the 3G. Which did you take these with?
