Another camera app! Why?

How many camera apps do you need? Many apps offer access to the camera, but you’ll want them for their effects, filters and user interface.

Some apps are one-trick ponies - making it fun to shoot > edit > share. Other apps include powerful editing features and it takes time to process your images, time to get comfortable with the user interface and move the image from one app to another to another. Hence the term “workflow.”

Consider making a plan that organizes your apps based on workflow. In our seminar, you might organize them in a folder with apps on six pages, one for each meeting. You can see a jpg of how I’ve done this on my iPad. This is an option to help you see process.

Later, individual folders might be named Camera, Catalog, Editing and Styling (or anything that works for you). Move your favorite apps to the first page of each folder. The Camera folder can go into your Dock for easy access!
