App of the Day: Lab for iPhone and iPad [Video]

Your iPhone takes pretty pictures, sure, nonetheless it doesn’t really inform you much abou them. Lab will show you resolution, ISO, aperture, and shutter speed in your shots, in addition as when and where you snapped them.

What is it?

Lab, iPhone and iPad, $1 . a fairly app for deciding the complete stuff your iPhone doesn’t inform you concerning the photos it takes-how big they’re, in pixels and in megabytes; once they were taken; where they were taken; their aperture, ISO, and shutter speed information, etc. All it is served up for every photo for your Photo Roll with a pleasant clothesline interface, a map for where the photo was snapped, and a histogram for a brief exposure overview.

Who’s it good for?

People who take iPhone photography seriously; individuals who dump their photo collections onto their iPad to share with others.

Why’s it better than alternatives?

It takes some thing-uncovering the hidden data stored to your photos-and does it well. The interface is sweet and clean, and the app reliably yanks out as much photo information as will probably be expected. The map and histogram provided for each photo add a pleasing visual touch. And, hey, it’s only a buck.

How could or not it’s even better?

Sometimes the clothesline view can slow down the scroll through bigger Photo Rolls, and the app doesn’t currently have support for photo albums (though apparently it’s coming soon). Photos which have been processed with some of the many filter/effects apps lose much of their embedded data, though that’s probably not Lab’s shortcoming.

You may grab Lab inside the App Store for $1.

We’re always purchasing for cool apps-for iOS, Android, Windows Phone or whatever else-to feature as App of the Day (yes, apps for other platforms will start shooting up soon!) In the event you hit upon one you think that we must always inspect, let us know.
