Marvel wants to help you make comics, just leave out the farts
If you've ever wanted to make your own comic but don't quite have the skills to draw one, Marvel and Tap Tap Comics have a solution. Called Marvel: Create Your Own, the new app will let you choose a Marvel character, pose them on various backgrounds and then fill in the story via speech bubbles. The service isn't available right now, but you can sign up to be notified when it is.
Camera + 2.2 adds Clarity feature, UI improvements, more
Tap Tap Tap has released Camera + 2.2 (US$0.99) today, which includes some nice UI changes, automatic saving to the iPhone's camera roll (yay!) and a hot new feature called Clarity, which is Tap Tap Tap's answer to Apple's HDR photo feature. I spent the morning shooting photos with Camera + 2.2, and here's what I found. UI Camera + hasn't received a complete UI overhaul, but the changes are quite welcome. Transition animations are smooth and pretty. For example, tapping the Edit button while viewing an image full-screen first pulls the shot forward, than sinks it into the edit window as the tools appear. Tap the Done button when you're finished and the editing tools fall away as the image slides back into the foreground. Each transition is smooth and pretty with no stuttering. The info panel has been updated with the Tap Tap Tap gang re-ordering a few buttons. Now you get a thumbnail at left, the time stamp and date stamp, size and resolution. Beneath that, you'll find EXIF data and flash status at the time of exposure (on or off). Lastly, a pin identifies where the shot was taken on a Google Map. Give it a tap to open the Maps app. Finally, you'll find buttons for the camera, editing tools, save options, sharing options and finally a delete button. %Gallery-119956%
