VintageScene, featuring more than 70 fully customizable presets arranged in three themed collections, plus a number of old-school borders, textures and preset editor, adds an antique look to photos quickly. Choose styles, color themes and textures to create your unique effects.
VintageScene 2.5 was released today. The latest version introduces a new effect called Faded Time.
Faded Time includes 15 presets to add to your photos a distressed, faded look. The new effect expands the already rich VintageScene’s selection (30 presets in the Vintage Scene collection + 33 more in the Antique Photo collection). Not to forget, you can always create and save your own presets.
To this moment, there aren’t great apps around allowing you to add layers to transform your pictures into something different and more complex. I have seen many iPhone users resorting to Photoshop — not the app, the actual PS — to beautify photos they had taken on the iPhone.
VintageScene will not ultimately turn your photo into a genuinely looking old photo, as the developer’s slogan says, but it will add some functionality that to this moment is still not fully developed by other iPhone apps.
Main Features
Appotography Opinion
VintageScene is a good addition for those looking to add predetermined effects to their photos, with just a little possibility of adjustment. You can play around with just a few parameters, like intensity of texture vs intensity of photo, vignetting, and so on. The available textures grant a certain degree of variety, but are sort of repetitive when added to more photos. It would have been more useful, though this is not the VintageScene app’s intent, to have the chance to add your own textures to the ones in the app’s library. As I said, to this moment there are no decent apps to effectively add layer styles and to make use of multiple exposures on the iPhone. They all have some sort of deficiency. For this reason, VintageScene has kind of limited range of action, but it’s still good if you are using it, for example, with other apps that let you adjust more photo editing parameters. The hi-res rendering is also very slow.
Here are some of the default presets applied to the same picture:
VintageScene works both with camera roll and with photos taken directly with the built-in camera.
