The Mill has recently released Mill colour a free iPhone application for color correction.

Mill Colour has been designed by our team of Colourists to emulate primary grading within a high-end digital grading suite.

The application can be used both as a professional shoot-tool to set reference looks on location and also for fun to manipulate any photo taken on the iPhone or imported to the iPhone picture library.

You can take a new picture from the App using the camera, or you can go to your Camera Roll and select one... then you have two main options, coloring your image with a preset look (Golden, Print, Cross-processed, Chocolate, Noir, Instant, 70's, Milky, Promo and Bleached) or you can manually correct the colors using built-in processor with lift, gamma, gain and saturation controls for separate RGB or all channels together. Of course, once you're done you can save the image to the Camera Roll.

The application is really nice, a great looking interface and it does a nice job color correcting your pictures.

Apple iPhone OS 3.0 beta firmware has a time expiration, and if you don't update regularly with new releases your terminal will lock,  and that's what happened to three of my friends yesterday.

The truth is that apparently Apple does not mention anything about it on the iPhone Development Program website, and if you don't update to the new beta versions, after a couple of days your iPhone will stop working and you'll see the famous "Connect to iTunes" screen.

The solution is to download the latest firmware version and do a normal update/restore with iTunes.

We are in the Apple iPhone Development Program, and some minutes ago one of the Team Members has just received this mail, an invitation from Apple to activate the Push Notification service.

The problem is that apparently you need an US iTunes Account, and we have an Spanish one :(

If you're lucky and you have access to iPhone Dev Center (registered as a developer) you may have installed the latest firmware version, and you may notice that the MMS support and Internet Tethering is not enabled by default, this is because it must be activated by your carrier (in my case Movistar)

First, you have to download this file: Telefonica_es.ipcc

Now, open iTunes and using the Upgrade button with Shift+click (PC) or Option+click (Mac) select this ipcc file.

That's all! it will take only a few seconds.

This weekend i've been following an interesting training videos made by Stanford University in how to develop applications with the iPhone SDK

Stanford University has a channel in iTunes U where you can find and download many courses for free (I think all of them...) and one of them is the iPhone Application Programming

Stanford on iTunes U

It's a 10-week course, you can subscribe for free and you'll automatically receive new videos every Wednesday and every Friday, the last one at the time i'm writting this post is the 3rd, and all I can say is that I found it the best way at least for me, to quickly learn (and do it right) on how to develop iPhone apps.

Also you can get the slides in PDF format from the same iTunes channel.

Every video has a lenght of approximately one hour, and this is a screenshot so you can see how it looks!

It's like being in a class, seroiusly, so it has some funny and epic moments :D

Take your Mac, download the SDK, and enjoy it!
