30 iPhone & iPad Apps to Have Fun with Your Photos

Posted: 15 Aug 2012 01:34 AM PDT

iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad are built to take pictures with great convenience, but when it comes to editing and enhancing your photos, you're sure to be disappointed.

I can't speak for the iPhone users, but as an iPad owner, I know that there are only 4 editing features in the camera app: rotate, enhance, red-eye, and crop. These are nice features to have, but they're nothing special and they don't actually change your photos.

So what should you do if you want to have fun with your photos and add interesting filters, effects, and enhancements – besides the basic features that the iOS camera offers? Well luckily, there are many apps for that and we're going to cover the best ones in this list.

AR Pho.to Cartoonizer

Augmented Reality Pho.to Cartoonizer lets you add various effects to your photos including a cartoon effect. One of the unique things about this app is that you can apply realistic emotions to a face and then animate them. You can even turn yourself into an alien, troll, and other weird things just for fun. [Free]

PhotoSketch is a quick and easy way to turn your photos into real-life sketches. You can also add other effects like cartoon, gray scale, alien skin, and more. [Free]

[Free]

30+ Intricate & Cryptic Key Designs

Posted: 15 Aug 2012 01:22 AM PDT

We use keys every day, to lock up our wealthy possessions or to open our precious vaults, when needed. But despite their practical importance, we don’t hold them in high regard, like how we view our jewellery or photography equipment. And the reason is quite simple: it’s because of their boring straight-off-the-mill designs.

In fact, one key looks pretty much like the other, apart from the pattern carved onto the body of the key. Well, that gives us all the more reason to spruce things up a bit, doesn’t it?
