Only two small, related changes to Photo Rotate:
* Works natively on the iPad (Universal App)
* Works in any orientation you hold your device
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 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
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 1.5 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 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 1.3 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:
Due to competitive forces (capitalism at its finest) Photo Rotate is now only US$0.99 (AU$1.19) forever!
The guys over at iphoneapppodcast have done a video review of Photo Rotate. See it here.
Photo Rotate 1.1 has now been approved by Apple and is available. This update works around an iPhone bug to ensure that photos not taken with the iPhone camera do not appear to lose quality in the iPhone photo browser. It also has small UI enhancements.
