Analog - Photo Filters for Mac

Everyone is familiar with the popular client for mobile platforms Instagram. Thing known among fans of mobile photography, but, unfortunately, only available on iOS and Android. And what about those who, for example, the house is worth the Mac, and who want to play with the filters on the screen of Big Brother? Not a problem - for this useful program called Analog.

Honestly, I do not often use Instagram (by virtue of not much skill to photograph), but sometimes I can share photos, and often do it through Facebook. And before you upload photos, you want it a bit of spice. And then to come to my aid Analog - a symbiosis of filters and frames to your photos.

The program is extremely easy to use: the right parts are templates, and directly above them - switch between filters and frames. And, of course, the main window with a photo, which can be seen superimposed effects.

Take the captured image, load, use one of the filters, switch to a framework tab, choose the right - and you're done! Just a few clicks and the result you can share with your friends.

There is a little trick that is available for some types of filters and frames. Some of them have several options. For example, the filter making similarity "light", as film cameras, may make several such "light up" instead of one. A frame makes a picture look like a photographic film, allows you to change a variety of symbols and abbreviations on the edging.

Those filters and frames, which are capable of such manipulation, emit a distinctive sound when pressed, and cute animated by simulating pressing a button.

The main program window is also equipped with several useful buttons which allow you to change the filter intensity, crop a photo, rotate and rassharivat result. A first icon from the app logo will help you compare the result of the work done with the original.

When your photo is ready to be shipped, you can share the result through several services: CloudApp, Flickr, Picasa, Tumblr, Facebook, and send the picture by e-mail or simply save at locally.

Unfortunately, direct addition of a snapshot Instagram the application does not, which is somewhat disappointing mobile photographers, but the image can be saved always in one of the many cloud services and from there put in Instagram. Yes, it is not very convenient, so we hope that in the new version of the application will get this feature, although initially it is not for this has been done.

Pros:
- a good selection of filters
- different embodiments of the filter
- crop images

Minuses:
- no posting to Instagram
- the lack of localization (as well as Russian service)
- overpriced

Also, there is an analog (pardon the pun) at a lower price (169 rubles) - Zepheer 2. Unfortunately, the app does not have the quality of the filter, although superior to their number, but as a bonus - a Russian interface.
