Over at Garibion.com is a post by Ryosuke Takeoka about his top five paid iPhone apps. Photo Rotate is number five. This gives me warm’n'fuzzy feelings. Thanks Ryosuke!

Photo Rotate 1.6 approved

Bed — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:59:47 +0000

Photo Rotate 1.6 has been approved by Apple and is now in the App Store.

Version 1.6 contains the following changes from 1.5:
* Fixed a positioning offset bug in the Crop function.
* The crop area is now always clearly highlighted in a transparent blue for proper framing.

This application lets you rotate photos. Sometimes, when holding your iPhone at a strange angle and taking a photo, the orientation of the photo is incorrect. This app lets you correct the rotation of the photo, so you can view it correctly, or upload it to a site such as facebook the correct way up.

The powerful Crop function allows arbitrary rotation, scaling and positioning with single and multi-touch gestures.

1. Select the photo from your camera roll or photo library

2. Rotate, mirror or crop the photo until it looks the way you want it to.

3. Save the rotated photo. This will save to the “Camera Roll” (for iPhone) or “Saved Photos” (for iPod Touch) as a new photo.

Photo Rotate supports the following operations:
*Rotate 90 degrees Clockwise
*Rotate 90 degrees Anticlockwise
*Rotate 180 degrees
*Mirror horizontally
*Mirror vertically
*Crop by manually positioning and rotating with finger gestures

Where is Photo Rotate 1.6?

Bed — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 21:42:27 +0000

Its nearly been a full month since I submitted Photo Rotate 1.6 to Apple, but fear not, it has not been lost in the void. Last week I received a call from Apple and there was a small issue with some of the application’s iTunes App Store descriptive text that references limitations in the SDK which they wanted me to remove. I promptly did as they asked and now I suspect the update has been ‘released’ from purgatory back to the end of the approval queue.

In the meantime I have been working on Photo Rotate 1.7 focusing on memory usage and low memory handling, which at this rate might be submitted before 1.6 even gets cleared. We’ll see how it goes.

Photo Rotate 1.6 Submitted to Apple

Bed — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:29:32 +0000

Photo Rotate 1.6 has been submitted to Apple for approval. This version has the following changes:
* Fixes positioning offset bug in the Crop function.
* The crop area is now always clearly highlighted in a transparent blue for proper framing.
Version 1.5 took two weeks to clear the approval process (previously versions only took about one week), Apple seems to be overloaded with updates at the moment, so I would expect a two week wait or so.

Photo Rotate 1.5 released

Bed — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:01:05 +0000

Photo Rotate 1.5 has finally been approved by Apple (after longer than normal delays, no doubt related to the OS 3.0 release today). It should be available from the AppStore anytime now.

* This adds a powerful “Crop” button – this lets you do arbitrary rotation, scaling and positioning using single and two finger gestures.
* Full OS 3.0 Support (but not required, works with OS 2.2.1).

Photo Rotate 1.5 on its way

Bed — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:15:14 +0000

Photo Rotate 1.5 has been submitted to Apple for approval. This adds a nifty Crop function, that lets you do arbitrary rotation, scaling and positioning using single and two finger gestures.. Its also iPhone OS 3.0 ready. Hopefully this will be approved within the next week.

In other Photo Rotate news, there’s a bit of competition in the simple iphone photo rotating category now, hence me making Photo Rotate the easiest and most powerful while still focusing on rotation.

To see how good Photo Rotate is, take a look at this review over at Tim Obrien Photos.

Photo Rotate 1.4

Bed — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 03:00:12 +0000

Photo Rotate 1.4 has been approved by Apple and is now available.
This update removes the work-around of removing one pixel I put it to prevent the Photo Browser bug that was in iPhone firmware 2.2. Apple fixed this is 2.2.1 so this isn’t necessary anymore. There is now also a nice page-curl animation for some eye candy.

Rotate or Mirror your photos: only AU$1.19 (US$0.99).

Photo Rotate 1.3

Bed — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 01:22:57 +0000

Photo Rotate 1.3 has now been approved by Apple and is available.
This update contains UI enhancements. Previously you had to rotate 90 degrees until you were happy. Now, after pressing the desired function you can now quickly select to:

Rotate 90 degrees Clockwise
Rotate 90 degrees Anticlockwise
Rotate 180 degrees
Mirror horizontally
Mirror vertically

Photo Rotate Price Decrease!

Due to competitive forces (capitalism at its finest) Photo Rotate is now only US$0.99 (AU$1.19) forever!

Bed — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 06:37:51 +0000

iPhone: Photo Rotate

Bed — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 05:25:42 +0000

My second iPhone App, Photo Rotate is now on sale in the App Store, for a tiny AU$1.19 (US$0.99). This app does one thing – rotates photos. Sometimes, when holding your iPhone at a strange angle and taking a photo, the orientation of the photo is incorrect. This app lets you correct the rotation of the photo, so you can view it correctly, or upload it to a site such as facebook the correct way up.

1. Select the photo from your camera roll or photo library

2. Rotate the photo until its the correct way up

3. Save the rotated photo to the camera roll.
