Snapbucket: Photobucket willed iOS-users

lovers pictures certainly known photobucket.com service, popular among "of foreign friends", but less in demand in the CIS. In recent years, the photo sharing site began to develop actively seek new forms of services to its users. And as adopt appropriate decisions and make their own has become a tradition, the fotobuketovtsam that clearly did not give rest the success of Instagram, I came up with a wonderful idea to release something like that, and maybe even it's better. Thus to add yourself another batch of users, who yesterday could not even planned to create an account at some photohosting, plus new features to please their "oldies".

So, today we have before Snapbucket. Perhaps this is the one hundred and first application for photo-bullying mobile snapshots. Mobilography. And maybe I would have passed a party, despite even on a brand well-known photo-hosting, but a couple of minutes, poked fingers tincture interested.

Traditionally, for such applications, pictures can be done by the camera or downloaded from the photo albums. But this is not a unique feature, and on the right we go further ...

For the first time, we offer not just a collection of preset filters for "distortion of reality" and added freedom of creativity, encouraging create your own, custom styles, mixing effects by Category:

• filters: X-Process, B & W, Lomoish, Vintage, Bronze Tint, Grainy, Sepia Tint, Retro, Color Nrgative, Blue Tint, Toy
• effects: Rainbow, Red Leak, Blue Leak, Orange Leak, Sunlight Leak, Purple Leak, Rainbow Boken, Orange Boken, Purple Boken
• vignettes: Lg. Black, Lg. White, Sm. Black, Sm. White, Sq. Black, Sq. White, Rough Black.
• Framework: Sq. White, Sq. Black, Rounded White, Rounded Black, Highlight White, Highlight Black, Grunge White, Grunge Black, Instant, Western, Film Roll

Incrementally add a filter to your taste (but no more than one category), we somehow "improve" cell picture, and presets can be stored in the collection (Sets) for further use. Well embellished photo, send to Twitter, Facebook and by e-mail. In this case, the snapshot is loaded on Photobucet own hosting in the appropriate folder (if desired, try to select any other program), and that it is necessary to emphasize the original and processed copy. This last point is particularly pleased, as almost all such applications save only the finished version, and if you "painted the" not a picture of album, and shot by the camera, then you can not hang out somewhere options comparing "before and after" or "torture" the original in another program. If you are such a function is not needed, you can disable the settings save the original photo hosting. By the way, a standard feature of sending the processed image in the "photoblog", is also present.

What you end up with? Snapbucket unlike instagram, picplz and the like, we do not offer their own social network, but but it offers the popular photo sharing site, which by the way, recently "officially bolted" to the livejournal.com. So, we have a social component - this time. Flexible filter selection, create their own presets, or choose among, gives a greater flight of creative thought, and most importantly, the ability to take pictures is not so monotonous, similar to each other. And though of course these editors naborchiki inferior type PhotoForge2, Photogene, iPicEd and others, but just win the competition notifications mentioned earlier - that's two. Ability to save the service parallel versions, with subsequent publication, another little plus - that's three. Well, free of charge as a service and applications - that's four. Oh and... I do not know whether it will be a plus for our readers, but there are still available Vrsi for Android.

And where is the cons? Yes, they probably do not have much. Within two weeks of active testing, bugs, freezes and crashes have been observed. I can reproach only one, and that is not a bad thing, but rather my preference: no iPad-version. So I can safely recommend Snapbucket all fans of mobile photography, and in particular LJ bloggers.
