Need help to identify these photo effects

PrettyBoy

Hi guys not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I need to find out the names of the photo effects used in the pictures here and how I may be able to apply them to my own photos. I have tried Picnik already but it does not offer these effects, can anyone tell me how I can find them and use them when editing my own pictures, particularly the border effects and the grainy/worn effect. Any tips appreciated

Those are from the Hipstamatic iPhone app if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks, I don't have an iPhone, is there any photo editing site online that offers the same (or similar) effects?

Have a Google for something like 'online photography effects' and see what turns up.

The 3rd one is defo Hipstmatic app.
The 1st one looks a bit crap IMHO - forget that one
The 2nd one looks like TTV - it's not an effect but a method.

TTV - through the viewfinder, where you use your DSLR and shoot through the viewfinder of another camera, typically an old TLR type camera, as they have large viewfinders.

Check out Moochin Photoman on flickr, his TTV stuff is great.

Here's one of his recent ones:

You could try InstantRetro, but I doubt it'll even come close to the results you get from Hipstamatic, which is actually very good at what it does.
