I love my iPhone.   Many photographers I know have an iPhone.  And based on the amount of iPhone apps under the photography section of the iTunes store, clearly people want to use their iPhone for taking/editing photos or even as a photographer’s tool.  A while back, I did a top 10 iPhone apps list.  Well the minute you publish a list like that it gets outdated.  I wanted to do another, but there are far too many apps for one person to know what is available.  So I am hoping all my fellow readers/iPhone users will come post to the comment section of my blog or Facebook Fan Page and help me compile a list I can share in a week or two.

What are your favorite photography apps?

Please leave the following information so I can organize this list when I post it:

• Name of the app
• Description of the app
• How would you rate it – scale of 1-5 (5 being best) – what do you like and dislike about it
• Which category does it fall into:
  • helps in taking pictures on the iPhone
  • helps in editing pictures on the iPhone
  • gives advice/tutorials on on photography or photoshop
  • photographer’s portfolio
  • great social media app for photographers to connect
  • great business tool to help photographers
  • other: write what category you would put it in
• Write anything else you feel would be helpful for me to include when I publish the article

Video Tutorial on Adding Texture to Your Images in Photoshop:

This my my second MCP Collaboration.  This time we are going to compile links to some great free texture resources.

I hope all of you will participate! Here is how it will work.  We will brainstorm a list together of some amazing sites and links to free textures that can be used in Photoshop.  Then I will create a post from that brainstorm – in an easy to find place so you do not need to dig through all the comments. If you have any idea what you would like to collaborate on, send me an email directly or through my site.

This week’s collaboration is: FREE Photoshop Textures

To make this the very best it can be, please comment below with a link to your favorite free textures sites .  I will compile a list and post it on the blog next week or two.  The more people that participate, the better this resource will be.  If you read this from Facebook or Twitter, please come to the blog to comment or your resource may be missed accidentally.

Make sure you link to the site that owns the textures. You may link to web sites, flickr texture groupings that are available for download, or any other site that has complimentary textures.  If you have any questions, let me know.

Please post your example in the comment section like this: (site name) Designm.ag: (link) http://designm.ag/resources/50-fabric-textures/ (write a description of what types of brushes they have) 50 fabric textures

Oh, and for fun, I wanted to share a link on how to add texture to your flower macro shots at Pioneer Woman (where I guest blog occasionally) and you can grab the textures I used in this shot below.
