Today, the App Store has another photo editor with the speaker to the Russian ear the name Lenka. It would seem that anything other than the name might attract the attention of this application? However, feedback from TechCrunch and TheNextWeb They made me give in and pay $ 3 for this masterpiece. Should you do the same thing, and if so, why? Read below.
In terms of functionality, "Lenka" losing is not something that anyone paid, and even free mobile photo editor like Adobe Photoshop Express. Your options are limited only two shooting modes and the ability to cut / flatten images. But raisins hide here.
The fact that Lenka was created with the active participation of the famous photographer Kevin Abosha. He photographed celebrities such as Steven Spielberg and Yoko Ono. He decided not to repeat what others have done - in its application is not familiar to us, and filter tools wealth. He made photographic process as simple as possible. «Lenka focuses you on a thoughtful creativity", - he says. By the way, you can not even use the front camera. Agree, a serious photographer will use the camera to selfi? That's right.
So he gave in return, removing all familiar features? In fact, only one image processing algorithm. But what.
Believe me, these results you are unlikely to achieve using other editors. "Lenka" uses superior image processing algorithm in real-time, the application itself adjusts the exposure and white balance. Abosh argues that the development team has devoted a lot of time analyzing the work the iPhone camera sensors. They tried as hard as possible to smooth out its weaknesses. And they succeeded. Just take a look:
You can choose between two shooting modes - normal and high contrast. The difference between the images will be roughly as follows:
In addition, you can make the square, and full-length photograph. To switch between image formats, enough to make a gesture "pinch", which we use to zoom in / out during playback.
You just have to select the mode and aspect ratio and just take pictures.
I'll be honest, when I first opened the app, I thought that I was deceived. Where filters and tools for processing the hell? And indeed, "Lenka" - is an application that allows you to just do black and white pictures. But the result in this case justifies the means. The photos are gorgeous.
If you are also not averse to experiment with black and white photos and enjoy thoughtful survey, in which the main role plays a wide range of settings, and your imagination and creativity, the "Lenk" you have to buy uniquely. You will not regret buying it, and say - why it costs only $ 3?
