I have noticed since the latest update, this app save photos a white line. The photo will display in the preview, but once saved it displays a white line in the middle of the photo taken.

Also I can no longer get to the app from the Market. Is this a temporary problem?

Vignette is a stunning little app and, apparently, the resolution isn’t capped – it will go up to the full resolution of your phone’s camera. Unfortunately there are some issues with some alternative roms which cause problems with the resolutions size options.
It’s my best buy for the camera on my Hero so I’d have no problem giving it a 5 out of 5.

(you only get 0.03 megapixel photos on the vignette demo app)

As the owner of a HTC Tattoo with a QVGA screen, other FREE apps such as FXcamera don’t show up on my android market.
I downloaded the Vignette demo app and like it a lot. I was just wondering if it was worth upgrading to the £2.99 full version to get higher resolution pictures. (I am a poor ex student and £2.99 is a lot to pay for anything for me!)
Or should I just wait until fxcamera is available for QVGA?

@Iconik: I have to agree with you on this one. It’s hard to justify using the camera on my Evo when I typically have my Canon SLR nearby. I actually use the Retro camera app and my only gripe is the low-quality resolution. I have taken the opportunity to try out the full version yet mainly because of the 5mp cap. For once, it’s a drawback to have an 8MP camera since I can’t use it’s full potential! The demo version of the app will only let you take pics at 1.3MP if I remember correctly.

Your feedback just may have pushed me to buy it anyone and give it a try. Especially when you have a quick still photo, it’s nice to whip out the phone rather than try to put my Canon together for the pic. I’m sure you know what I mean lol.

P.S.: I am by no means a professional photographer, only an amateur that has a love for taking photos.

As a photographer I’ve totally ignored the woefully inadequate camera on my HTC Hero, but this little App changes all of that. The camera is still way too slow to capture anything but the more static of subjects, but the effects that Vignette adds make the images really kick.

The resolution isn’t as high as some people may desire, but given the limitations of the lenses on an average phone’s camera, and that the resultant images are meant to look distressed, I think 5 mpx is a good compromise.

There are almost too many options and some are more useful than others but, surprisingly for what is marketed as a “retro” camera, the results are right up there with some of the more cutting edge grungie effects favoured by many photographers. There’s a huge fan base for cameras like the Holga and, sure enough, along with polaroid, retro and Diana styles, one of the presets featured is an emulation of this little gem.

I thoroughly recommend this app; it’s actually made me re-evaluate the usefulness of my HT Hero’s camera – try out the demo and I reckon you’ll be hooked.

Another good app in the same vein is “Retro Camera”. It’s not as versatile as vignette but has a brilliant, fun user interface.

Good app. This and Camera ZOOM FX are the 2 best photo apps.

Once the developer increase the cap beyond 5 megapixels, I’ll be sure to snag this one up.
