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.

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!

Fabio Policarpo is the autor of iTracer, an application for the iPhone and iPod Touch for modeling and rendering 3D scenes.

As Fabio says:

iTracer is a 3D modeling and rendering application for the iPhone. With it you can build full 3D scenes and render high-quality images from any given view. The rendered images can then be saved to your Photos Library for later use by other applications. The multi-touch interface allows view scaling and panning at any time with simple pinch gestures. Translate, rotate and scale objects with simple touch movements that snap to an adaptative grid. Includes a full material editor with diffuse and specular components, opacity, refraction, reflection and self illumination. Shadows are cast from multiple lights and support transparent objects. 

You can find the application on iTunes Store via this link or visit Fabio's website

Here is a video of iTracer running:

Yesterday Steve jobs presented the new shit on the Keynote, new iPod's, new 2.1 firmware (for the iPhone too), new iTunes 8, new Genius mode... and new spectacular 3D games, like Need for Speed
