Amid the proliferation of such photographic devices as digital cameras and smartphones, along with the popularity of social networking sites, it is easier than ever to shoot and share photo images. Canon Marketing Japan Inc. has released PERSTEXT, a photo processing application that provides users with a new way of having fun with their photos by enabling the creation of images combined with text that convey messages with a touch of flare. In order to make photos even more enjoyable, the free iOS applications being released this time can be used in a variety of situations such as shooting, processing, viewing, showing, and organizing. These applications will provide even more opportunities to enjoy photos with digital cameras and smartphones.

    --  BestShutter makes it possible to photograph your children and pets
        during their cutest moments
BestShutter is an application for taking photos of children and pets who do not usually pay attention to the photographer. As children and pets are very sensitive to sounds that they like, by using fun sounds, and sounds that will make them look when taking photos, it will be possible to capture wonderful expressions. With the included sounds, or sounds you record, you can get great shots of your children during their cutest moments! Shooting still images is a matter of course, but after shooting movies you can also select the best scenes and clip as photos, so you won't miss any decisive moments. In addition, when shooting with a digital camera as well, it can also be used as tool to aid shooting by attracting the attention of children or pets using the sound playback function.

    --  Photo Log Map makes it possible to easily create shooting record maps
Photo Log Map is an application that meets the needs of people who want to record location information together with shooting records during various situations such as traveling, or mountain climbing. Using data from photos you shot, and a smartphone's position information service, it is possible to easily create shooting record maps. Even with data from photos shot on digital cameras not equipped with GPS, you can create a shooting record map linked to the smartphone's GPS log. In addition to photos on the map, it is possible to also add text memos and sound memos that record the location's conditions. By writing the recorded log to a GPX file(*2), it is also possible to use it in other applications.

    --  TakeMyPic makes it possible to request having your photo taken with your
        desired composition
TakeMyPic is an application that is useful while traveling etc. when you ask someone to take your photo according to your desired composition. By inserting the human shape in the position you want to be portrayed on the smartphone's shooting screen, this makes it possible to communicate the composition you decided to the person taking your photo. Furthermore, by shooting a photo that will be a sample beforehand, this makes it possible for the person taking your photo to superimpose it while shooting, and you can avoid mistakes when shooting important commemorative photos such as while traveling.

    --  Easy photo Sorter makes it possible to easily organize the photo data on
        your smartphone
With smartphones it is now possible to shoot casually, and smartphones end up having large amounts of photos saved on them. Easy Photo Sorter is an application for organizing large amounts of photos like this. By combining information such as date, time, and day of the week, and setting your desired conditions to organize, you can create folders in your iPhone or iPad photo albums and automatically organize photos with those conditions when the application launches.  For example, by filtering such as by weekday daytime, weekday nighttime, or days off, this makes it possible to utilize it for various uses, such as categorizing photos for private and work.
