Even with these issues, Paper Camera can produce some pretty cool-looking images as long as you're taking daylight or otherwise well-lit shots. If you like the hand-drawn look, or just want to do something more with your photos,
Canon HG10, Paper Camera is a pretty good option for under a buck.
Even on the first day the iTunes App Store launched there were photo apps that let you manipulate and edit images on
iPhone. The App Store has come a long way since then and,
SONY VAIO VPCZ13EGX/B, with new iPhones with faster processors and better cameras, the apps have gotten significantly better as well.
Halftone creates fun comic book-like images for your photos,
Thinkpad w510, but we can't help but think it could have done more. Though the results are solid for single-image projects,
Panasonic AG HVX200A, it could be even better if you could build three-across comic strips or perhaps a full-page comic.

Paper Camera is a neat concept,
HP EliteBook 8540W XT904UT, but in addition to requiring you to select your shots carefully, the app has some other annoyances. In our tests, taking or using darker shots doesn't really work with Paper Camera. The nature of the effects is that they use line drawings to recreate the image, and once it gets too dark it's hard to make out the subject of your photo. In bright outdoor shots,
THINKPAD X220, it does much better. Our other issue might be small, but it has to do with the save button; when you touch save,
Apple MacBook Air Summer 2009, it automatically sends the image to your photo library, but offers no confirmation that it was sent. Like anyone probably would, we hit the button a few times, not sure if it was working, only to find several copies of the image in our library.
The high-res sketch produced by My Sketch can be printed out with great results.
My Sketch makes your photos into hand-sketched artistic drawings in only a few easy steps. Upon launch you get the option to take a new photo or choose one from your iPhone photo library. Once selected, My Sketch immediately has you crop the image to your liking,
Panasonic AG HPX170, either in portrait or landscape layouts. The next step is to choose a style, and My Sketch offers 20 different types of sketch styles,
hp 2540P, from long-line sketches to pastel styles. It takes a couple of moments, but once the high-res sketch is finished, you have a chance to apply some finishing touches with brightness and contrast sliders.
My Sketch is the newest app of this collection and you can tell the developers made sure theirs was something different from others in the photo/art category. The step-by-step process leaves little room for error as the app guides you from start to finish. Like most apps these days,
Canon GL1, My Sketch comes with a number of sharing options including Facebook, Twitter,
Sony HDR-CX500V, Flickr,
ASUS G73SW-XT1, and Tumblr,
Toshiba Portege R700-S1332 PT311U-01202V, or you can send the image to a friend via e-mail.
Overall, My Sketch is a very well-polished image manipulation app that produces excellent high-res sketches of your photos. Anyone who likes that sketched look and wants to do something special with photos should definitely grab this app.
This week's collection of apps is all about making your photos look like drawings. The first lets you see selected effects in real time even before you take the shot,
Sony AX2000, so you know what you're going to get. The second takes your photos and turns them into comic book panels with captions. The third is new to the iTunes App Store and turns your images into high-res sketched drawings.
Paper Camera (99 cents) offers up a unique photography experience using a cute interface to produce simulated hand-drawn results,
Canon XF100, but you'll need to select your shots carefully. The interface looks like a camera made from paper (appropriately), with hand-drawn arrow buttons for switching effects; controls for contrast,
Dell Latitude E6520, brightness,
Apple MacBook Pro MC026LL/A, and line weight on the right side; and a save button in the lower right. You have the choice of taking shots directly with your iPhone camera (showing the effect in real time) or selecting an image from your photo library.

All the controls are hand-drawn in this app.
Halftone (99 cents) turns your photographs into captioned comics with a distinctive worn-paper style. Start by snapping a new photo with your iPhone camera or by selecting an image from your photo library. From there, you can use the buttons on the bottom of the interface to select from 27 different paper styles to give your final product that heavily dog-eared comic look. You also can add customizable speech balloons and choose from a few different layouts,
www.gosale777.com, but we think there should be more layout options--especially multipane formats. For a little more excitement,
hp ELITEBOOK 8460P, you can pick from 24 exclamation balloons (arrrgh,
Sony HDR-XR500V! BLAM!) and random designs,
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens, and you can select a color for each.
Even though Halftone leaves us with a few things on our wish list,
Toshiba Tecra R840-S8440, it does a great job of making cool-looking comic-like pictures with your images. Sending directly to Twitter or Facebook will probably be an appealing option to many users as well. If you want to add fun captions and graphics to your photos and send them to your friends, Halftone is a well-made app for the job.
