TrueHDR: TrueHDR may suffer from a lot of the afflictions that plague other iPhone camera apps—decreases resolution, a limited feature set and a slightly-too-high price, but all that aside—and yes, you can set that aside—TrueHDR is the most effective HDR app in the App Store. The app takes two shots of a scene at different exposure levels, which you set by tapping on highlighted and shadowed areas in the viewfinder. The pictures are then automatically aligned and merged—like actual HDR photos—to create surprisingly convincing dynamic range, considering the source. That said, if you think HDR photos look stupid to start with, this will do nothing to change that; if anything, the effect here can be a little oppressive. Still though, HAITCH DEE ARRRR, etc. 2bux.
