CameraBag 2 App Reviews

I like to apply filters to my photos, and based on the screenshots from camera bag they looke dpretty good, and covered the basics that I like to use. I find however the the integration with the OS and/or other apps totally non existant. Meaing, there is no integration with iPhoto or Aperture, one cannot use the filters in a workflow with these apps. I could only open the picture in camera bag from out of iPhoto, but other than the optin to save it to the harddisk (the only eport option avaialable), there was no opportunity to store the file and have iphoto save the modified file as a new version. As a standalone application on the IOS platform, you could probably get away with this, but with a price tag of 14€ I would expect a tighter integration with Aperture and iPhoto - functionality wise its not more than a plugin for a photo management software.

Crashes on startup :-/.

A very nice app but I cant use it until an update is released that enables the app to preserve EXIF data.

Love this app. Just load up any picture, and in a couple simple clicks, youve completely transformed it from ordinary, into something much more. For quick and easy edits which really make your pictures unique, you cant go wrong. Id recommend going right to their website and trying the demo out if youre uncertain, but it really does work amazingly well. Fast, friendly, and just wonderful.

Thus far the app has been great. It is an easy way to edit a picture without a difficult learning curve. For the average photographer the app does the job. For more professional results a more advanced editing program may be in order, but I like this app because I dont have time to learn a complicated process.

I have been working with a bunch of photo apps and I came across this one just the other day. I figured I would give the demo a try. after about 10 min with this program, I fell in love with it. the interface is extremely user friendly, there are videos posted on their site on how to use various features etc… the effects are beautiful and the amount of customization once the effect is in place is amazing. I love how the effect changes in real time and you can see how it changes with every movement of the modification sliders. This app is a perfect starter app but also works well for those of us who have lots of experience as it lets you choose how much or how little user interaction is required to make the pictures look their best. You can either choose to simply throw a filter on their and some quick fixes and leave the picture as is or go further and fine tune everything you chose to addon to the picture. While it seems a bit expensive, I believe it was worth every penny and am happy to support Nevercenter Ltd for providing such a wonderful product! keep up the great work.

Such a great app. Worth the $19. Easy, fun, and great vintage style filters for photos!!! Been waiting for something like this that actually works!!! Love it.

Amazing simplicity with advanced results. I was sceptical at first so I downloaded the free trial from Nevercenter’s web site. All I can say is “this really is the photo editing-application that they claim”. Its fast, smooth and full of great filters with many other photo editing goodies. The app has great help files including help videos. Easy to use and easy to master. If you enjoy the ability to adjust and enhance photos this is excellent software to add to your collection. I had the trial for only two days, before racing here to buy Camera Bag 2 while it was still on sale. Its a good deal at full price…but even better on sale.

Had to edit photos for a design project I was doing in school. Had to edit about 100 photos. To do the same with photoshop would have taken days and days. Camera bag allowed me to do all 100 photos in less then 3 hrs. I love this program!!!

The filters are OK but some of them look very similar to each other. The developer allows you to download more filters on their website but only a few of them actually work. The rest just download as some kind of file that cant be opened. Im glad I got this app on sale for $14.99 but honestly I dont think its even worth that much. It should cost a lot less for what it does. If you like Instagram, then I think youll like this app. This app is really more of a toy than a serious photography app. The filters make it kind of like choosing OK do I want my picture to look like it was taken in 1919, 1937, 1962, or 1979? Thats the kind of thing it does for pictures. Im actually surprised at the number of 5 star ratings. No, its not the WORST app ever, but its also not the greatest.

Im a professional photographer and Ive been using Camera Bag 2 for two years now without a hitch. Once I get my photos right in a photo editor, I import them, or drag them, into Camera Bag 2 to any effects or filters if I feel so inclined. There are a lot of filter apps out there, but most of them are gimmicky and don’t do much. With Camera Bag 2 the possibilities are endless. With each filter you choose, you can modify the intensity, the saturation, change the colour tone, add more filters on top of each other, change the contrast, tint, RGB curves, exposure, shadows. Once you got the filter the way you like it, you can go to the adjust section and tune up the colour balance, tone, luminance curve, brightness, shadows, highlights, selective colorization, multi tool, sharpness, selective saturation, colour correction, colour balance. You can even use the split tone, add a colour filter, dye, add grain or a vignette. You can even crop or straighten you photo in the adjustment section. Then you have the option of choosing from 14 different borders. You can also make your own simple borders, which you can change the width, thickness, colour, and round the edges, etc. Some borders emulate old slides while other borders look like classic 35 mm or medium format film rolls. Because there are so many options, you can even create, name, and save your own filters and borders, and save them to the list of filters and borders so you can easily use them again. When youre finished with the image you can save it as either a Tiff or a PNG file, and choose the output size and quality. I also want to add that all of this is non-destructive editing. Let me give you an example. Lets say you choose the Poolside filter. Its attributes show up under the photo like you see above as grey squares. Any attributes and adjustments you add to the photo show up in their own square. When you click on one of those attributes the square turns orange. After clicking on a square you then have more adjustments to make, sometimes up to three adjustment bars just within that one attribute. With the Poolside filter you have two attributes to adjust, amount and remix. Amount subtracts and adds the intensity of the filter, and remix simply gives you tons more variations of the Poolside effect. So one filter like Poolside has dozens of variations within it with the remix bar. The non-destructive part of adding these attributes/filters/adjustment/effects squares comes in because you can easily turn each one on and off without degrading your photo. So you dont have to worry about making a mistake or undoing, because every adjustment is within a filter, which is automatically saved and can be turned on or off when you feel like it. From here you can just keep adding attributes/effects squares, like brightness, RGB colour curve, grain, sharpness, etc, and adjust each one with its adjustment bars, as you see fit. So you can see how unlimited the possibilities are - the more filter squares you add, the more the possibilities. There is even a batch process option, so once you get a filter the way you like it, you can choose a folder of images, and batch process them all to that same filter, renaming and renumbering them in the process if you want too. The thing is this app is not only fun and easy to use with it’s clever square filter affects pods, its very professional for what it does. Other filter apps do not let you modify their filters, and you are stuck with predetermined locked filters or limited adjustments. With Camera Bag 2 you can change each filter with endless possibilities and adjustment tools. With all of these adjustment tools you find in professional photo editors, more in fact than the commonly used iPhoto, how could anyone say its anything less than a serious filter app? Especially if you dont have Lightroom or Aperture to do all of these filter affects, Camera Bag 2 will allow you to get, and or build, all of the filters those two offer at a fraction of the cost. Camera Bag 2 doesnt have the fine detail tuning those professional photo editors have, but then again, its not a photo editor. Camera Bag 2 is not a professional photo editor, but it is a very serious filter app in my opinion.

Please fix this asap

Lots and lots of effects, styling Apply styles in conjunction with others and customize everything, then easily export and done! Worth the money! Thanks Developers for doing a great job and supporting, improving it.

Just bought this app witch seem great at first glance… I use Photoshop a lot and was looking for an app with cool filter and a way to retouch my photos in a newer and more friendly environment. But there is no way to zoom in your image??? Not even a tool or a window… Big disappointment, I wish I could have my money back.

After leaving my disapointed review from the recent update ruining the APP for me, I must admitt, I did not expect a response. The developers listened and this recent update fixed the situation and I have my favourite APP back fully! Thank you very much! I have been shooting as a pro photographer for over 20 years and now that the APP can do more adjustments, but also kept my favourite legacy presets, its the best APP out there for helping to polish up photos. Sometimes you have a lot of work to do and the legacy presets are fantastic in working with Photoshop and r alone to get your great RAW photos to look perfect. Thanks again for the amazing APP and for taking the strong constructive feedback.

Great App. Unfortunately it is now a bit of a bust in El Capitan. As soon as export tries to kick in, boom. It crashes. Hopefully a fix is in the works...

It provides many picture styles and adjustments. Every settings is easy to know and to use. I think it will be much better when it works with the Lions fullscreen mode.

This version still crashes with a big crash report on volumes formatted with Case-Sensitive Journaled HFS+. Otherwise it’s a great application (which I cannot use).

MBP 15 2010 4GB, OSX 10.7.3 Crashes everytime I try to start it. Mac Mini late 2009 8GB, OSX 10.7.3 Works perfectly MBP 15 2011 8GB, OSX 10.7.3 Works perfectly

Photoshop does not open tif in this updated version!!!!!
