Tip - Time to clear the Fog

Although not specifically mentioned in iPhoto ‘09 that the new feature called ‘definition (a slider in the adjustments pallet) is for iPhographs. It appears to be perfect as a one step solution to clarifying & enhancing the details of your iPhography. Just the thing we have been waiting for.

We’re looking forward to getting to try it out (preferably on the snazzy new 17” Macbook Pro)

The other thing we’ve noticed as we troll the web for iPhographs is the amount with extra glow or fuzzyness. This is caused simply by people clearing the lens with their fingers or synthetic clothing. The best way to clean your iPhones lens is with a lint free cloth or cotton tshirt. Gently brush aside any dust before trying to wipe greasy finger prints off, because you don’t want to rub the grit into the lens & scratch it.

Now the next tip is to - Hold your breath!

Because breathing on the lens or fogging it to clean the lens, is the worst thing to do. Photographers that purchased secondhand SLR lenses may notice they weren’t as sharp as new ones. This isn’t because old lenses sucked but because people often breathed on the lens to clean it & no matter how well sealed it is, this would often cause almost invisible bacteria or mould to grow inside the lens.

So 2009’s is now the time to clear the fog!
