Woah. Apparently Apple felt bad about holding up Volume 1 or something, because Volume 3 got approved all but immediately. Cool!

So now we’ve got the project to transfer the Guide To Posing The Female Model to the iPhone all complete. w00t! It’s gone pretty pleasingly well — not a single negative comment anywhere at all about the application design or code quality. Matter of fact, there haven’t been any negative comments that aren’t either a) whining about price or b) palpably idiotic, like “Poses for porn.” (Mind you, after that last one, sales in that country’s store actually went up, so apparently the right kind of 1-star review is not a problem!) Any-ways, the point is, our work seems to be universally agreed to be topnotch, and hey, that’s the important bit. As always, you know you want to check it out for yourself, and here’s your link for that!

Excellent, excellent. Apparently whatever it was that held up Poses Volume 1 for almost two months, Apple’s over it now; in a matter of just a few days from submission, we present for your further photographing pleasure, Poses Volume 2: The Second Female Collection!

Pretty much the same code as Volume 1 with new pictures … but there didn’t really seem to be much need to change anything, with reviews like

‘Great app for a photographer like me!’ — Michaelfoy

‘Well worth $9.99 … Thanks for a great app.’ — lerxst 1

‘Great tool for a Photographer.’ — shutterheadnut

‘A great resource for both photographers and artists alike.’ — cedsaid

‘This is a very well thought out and produced app … Well done!’ — Blackswanbazaar

*pat pat* Yes, yes, nice work there, indeed. And we’re sure that this one will do even better. So click the badge and join the fun!

Ah, here we go; our first written copublished application has finally gone live. “Finally,” you ask? Yes, finally. This application was in review since January 18th. Why? Apple only knows … and they’re not telling. There really needs to be some greater degree of transparency there, doesn’t there now? But hey, here it is for you now — Poses Volume 1: The First Female Collection!

This is a collaboration with photographytips.com to bring their printed book Guide To Posing the Female Model — a smash hit as that kind of thing goes, we understand — to the iPhone, in response to massive public outcry. And this is the first fruit of that collaboration, the first installment of three planned to cover the entire book. The particularly nifty bit — and probably what caused the holdup, since although it uses only published APIs it does mess around with the internals of the camera picker just a little it, which isn’t forbidden but isn’t explicitly documented either — is a feature we call “Fit Pose”, to take a given image and move/rotate/scale it translucently over the camera picker, for when you want to make sure that your model fits the pose exactly.

Pretty cool, huh? Well, enough chat, here’s the link – go buy it NOW! Or, if you have a place to publish a review for us somewhere, email us and ask for a promo code, and chances are pretty darn good we’ll give you one!
