My Top Photo Apps for iPhone 3.0 3G and 3GS

My favourite feature of the iPhone is the camera. Although it doesn't have a flash and the 3G doesn't do video there are many applications to enhance the native photographic and video capturing capabilities. Here are my top apps.

1. PS Mobile (Photoshop Mobile) 

£Free iTunes Link

Offering one of the best image enhancing experiences on the App Store, Adobe, has developed an innovative interface with minimal clutter and maximum usability. Images can also be uploaded directly to the new online service photoshop.com as well as into your Camera Roll.

2. FX Photo Studio

£1.19 iTunes Link

By far the easiest and most enjoyable photo effects app on iTunes. There is a comprehensive library of effects, the option of instant preview and the ability to 'star' your favorites for easy access.

3. PhotoRoom

£1.19 iTunes Link

A slick and simple photo effects app with a familiar range of options to your Mac's Photo Booth application. An excellent choice for those of you that need something easy and smart to enhance your photographic mastery.

4. Gorillacam

£Free iTunes Link

A one-stop-shop to help you take new photos. Some of my frequently used features include '3 Shot Burst', 'Press Anywhere' and 'Self-timer' functions.

5. Flickr (offical Yahoo app)

£Free iTunes Link

A complete range of functinality is included in Yahoo's official app. Mobile uploads, comment moderation, gallery maintenence and a fast interface are all standard. Don't waste your money on premium alternatives.

6. Polarize

£Free iTunes Link

Simple and effective. One of my most used apps. Apply to any photo for an authentic retro Polaroid via your iPhone.

7. FAIL Maker (by Griffin)

£Free iTunes Link

For all those fall-on-the-floor moments there's an app for that. Create and submit a Fail Blog post direct from embarrassment to worldwide acclaim.

8. Photo Censor

£0.59 iTunes Link

If you ever need instant anonymity this is that app for you. For the rest of us you can add fun effects before uploading that mugshot to Twitter or Facebook.

9. PhotoFunia

£Free iTunes Link

Create fun pictures using the large database of 'effects' including Smart Kitty, 3 Shop Posters and Wanted Poster. New templates / effects are added regularly. To use the app you need an internet connection, upload an image, and once it is processed your face could be on that billboard or as the Mona Lisa herself.

10. Comic Touch Lite

£Free iTunes Link

Create comics or add captions to images with one of the fastest and well designed comic creation apps available. The lite version has some limitations but will be an essential free addition to users that need something to add some spice to those Facebook mobile uploads.

11. iDoodle2 lite

£Free iTunes Link

A basic drawing app resembling Microsoft's Paint. You can replay your drawing in fast motion and share with friends. Who needs a camera when you can draw it all?

12. Collage Wallpaper Creator Lite

£Free iTunes Link

Easy and fast. Functionality is implied in the title. Using the lite version limits you to three images at a time but keeps most of the functionality without the need to upgrade to the full version.

13. ePhotoChest

£Free iTunes Link

Password protected images with unlimited storage. Keep your privacy and dignity. Innovative interface including features like using the accelerometer to display the next photo.

Others to note:

- Mosaica

Allows you to take large landscape images but has still not been upgraded for the 3GS's camera

- Collage

Created by one my favourite developers Tapulous, their new social image app allows you to share images from around the world. I'm still not sure how useful or fun it will be however.
