"If you buy just one filter app, make it CameraBag." -New York Times, Nov 25, 2009
Dramatically enhance your photos using the many classic camera and film simulations in CameraBag. It's like having a dozen unique cameras all in one app!
CameraBag focuses on emulating styles and processes from some of the most interesting cameras of the past to enhance the mood of an image, and the results are stunning.
The cameras included in CameraBag are:
"Helga" - Square-format toy camera with washed-out highlights and old-school vignetting.
"Colorcross" - Hazy, chemical color-swapping straight from the darkroom.
"Instant" - No need to shake this instant-developing film.
"Magazine" - Rich tones for glossy pages.
"1974" - Your father's camera: faded, tinted, and hip.
"Lolo" - Shoot from the hip and take life as it comes with vibrant, colorful shots.
"Cinema" - Dramatic, moody coloring with a widescreen aspect ratio.
"Silver" - From the earliest days of photography, when taking a shot was a much larger production than it is now.
"1962" - Dynamic, high-contrast black and white from the photojournalism of a bygone era.
"Mono" - Smooth, refined, balanced black and white.
"Infrared" - Simulation of the popular landscape photography technique.
"Fisheye" - Go ahead, get too close to the lens.
"Original" - Just in case you got it right the first time.
To use CameraBag simply:
1. Select. Take a new photo from inside the app(iPhone only) or choose one from your library (iPhone or iPod Touch).
2. Filter. Quickly swipe between CameraBag's cameras to view your photo in the various styles.

Great User Tips!!!
Here are a few tips to get even more out of CameraBag. Start doubling up on the filters! Choose a filter and save the photo. Open it again from the iPhone's camera roll and choose a second filter.
- Sepiatone. Save first in 1963 (black & white), then save it in 1974.
- Black & White Vignette. Save first in Helga, then in 1963.
- Warm Vintage. Save first in 1974, then in Lolo.
- Century Old. Save first in 1974, then in Helga.
- Super Helga. Save it twice in Helga for a more intense light burn.
Experiment with some of your own combinations. Depending on the colors in your photos, you can come up with some really unique visuals!
I'm just a casual user. I've never been much into cameraphone cameras but CameraBag is allowing me to create images that I'm more likely to share with others. I look forward to the new filters when they come and seeing what other cool combos I can come up with!
Name changed to protect the innocent? Great simulations.
The "Helga" tool is to mimic the artfully imperfect vignetting/saturation/variable focus that was common with the plastic lensed medium-format camera branded as Holga which was marketed as an extremely affordable camera to the Chinese in the 1980s. The "Lolo" tool is to mimic the Lomo LC-A a Russian camera known for its blown out colors and sometimes artful, sometimes atrocious blur from long exposures.
I'm sure the names were changed to avoid problems with lomography.com
While color film was certainly around in 1962, my family certainly didn't use it much, this "1962" setting does a good job of increasing contrast when it strips the color. The "1974" setting makes it look like a print was made 30+ years ago and then hung on the wall at your grandma's house. Fun app, I'll probably use it more when I upgrade from my iPod Touch to a iPhone 3G, most of the photos in my iPhoto library are taken with vintage/weird film cameras so it will be nice to un-sterilize the photos I take with my iPhone.
Slick!
This is great because I totally hate the iPhone camera, and I feel like I can actually share some pix washed through Camerabag! I would also be very interested to see a (slight) fisheye effect. And possibly an infrared.
I like that there are no level adjustments etc. I just want to make an "insta-cool" image. I do enough photo editing on Lightroom for my business; the last thing I want to do is fully edit my iPhone photos.
Great job! I am REALLY looking forward to seeing new effects roll in with future updates. :)
