Dynamic Light 2.0 for iPhone is out. The app now fully supports 4″ retina devices and allows sharing via email, Twitter, and Facebook.
Version 2.0 also introduces a handful of new effects in the form of colored gradient filters. The gradients come in five vibrant styles, featuring diverse hues for different moods. In combination with the classic Dynamic Light processing and with the right amount of in-app tweaking through the various controls at your disposal, you can use the new gradients to produce highly detailed but at the same time dreamy images.
Dynamic Light is a powerful editor for HDR-like photo enhancements achievable with just a few taps and scrolling gestures. The app is available in the App Store for $0.99.
Dynamic Light has become one of my favorite photo manipulation apps. I create a lot of black & white montages, and its unique filters (especially solarize/edgy/re-exposure) almost always give interesting results – either for montage fodder or standalone images. It saves at full resolution, is very fast, and improves with each update. There’s an element of randomness that I enjoy, but its effects are actually very sophisticated, particularly for producing distressed or somewhat-distorted-yet-recognizable treatments. I recommend it for anyone looking for a simple, yet very unique bag of tricks to add to their photo manipulating repertoire.
