Just saw a post on the Hipstamatic Reddit … mentioning an exciting drop of something from Hipstamatic on Dec. 14th. Anyone heard anything?
Ha! I just got a clue on how to use the old one from joining Mobitog and everyone’s tips and tricks on here. Well, it’ll be fun to learn the new w/ everyone at the same time.
Deus ex capturis?Just recently on IG they announced they are sending a “preview” by email to members, which I sssume is anyone who has downloaded the app?
Nothing received yet by me and apparently many others based on IG comments - will give it a little more time and then message them.
Evidently there is multi-exposure involved.

You and me, both, my friend.Super interesting.. I really thought they were updating the old classic Hipsta w/ another camera choice. I’m a big fan of classic …hope it continues on forever…
Yes ….never drop the classic! I want it in writing they won’t ever!Well - just upgraded the X app to version 10. Lots of fanfare and snazzy visuals, but not a lot of difference. The viewfinder doesnt work, so I cant see a damn thing when shooting, but it does take photographs. The 'Shake to Develop' feature is just frankly irritating too. Nothing here to make me migrate fully from Hipstamatic Classic. I just hope they dont decide that this is the way forward and drop Classic support.
?????? That doesn’t seem optimal at all.The viewfinder doesnt work, so I cant see a damn thing when shooting
Reading through the comments on Instagram on people’s thoughts on Hipstas new post related to”delay“ mode.I got an email from Hipstamatic today about this.

Once I downloaded TestFlight, I was able to download the Beta of this new Hipstamatic (X). It looks like this:

Im still trying to figure it out. It said I had 18 presets, which I did, but I can only see 9.Reading through the comments on Instagram on people’s thoughts on Hipstas new post related to”delay“ mode.
Kudos for them on trying something different…but it makes people angry! It‘s always been about being a fun fake camera .. the look the feel …now they’re trying to go even further. Maybe the animated video clip previews that pan around the new camera were too misleading …
I do like the wealth of combo option at my fingertips, but on the other hand, I kept it under 20 so I could get to know each one. I don’t like the ”no editing” BS. Telephoto is too close, wide to far, why can’t I just crop??? And the shake to develope…… blah. Why did we go digital in the first place?Finally got a bug fix applied - seems I wasn't alone in my difficulties. Even with everything working - as a non member, as I still wont fork out for membership - Its not really blowing my skirt up. The interface is aesthetically better, but the square only format is too limiting. The Shake To Develop feature is just a silly gimmick. Aside from that, Im not seeing anything really justifying the hype ?
After you shake it …how about delay it?I do like the wealth of combo option at my fingertips, but on the other hand, I kept it under 20 so I could get to know each one.

I used to do that when I dropped film off at the drug store. Maybe it appeals to the youngsters that haven’t lived it.After you shake it …how about delay it?
The option of having pics delivered in a digital envelope is hilarious….we all shoot so different our phones ….cant imagine purposefully curating my pics for delivery.
Looking back at this, you can edit anything from the app, Star. Just go into Photos app, Revert, do what you want and then go back into the app and reapply another combo. You can also import ordinary photos from your camera roll.I do like the wealth of combo option at my fingertips, but on the other hand, I kept it under 20 so I could get to know each one.

I do know about the whole revert thing. I also have a lifetime membership to the “camera club”. Prior to the update, I could crop a photo immediately and the effect was complete (frame included) on the crop. Now, if I revert and go back into the app formerly known as Hipstamatic X the editing feature does not work, and even if did, it never contained the 20 combos I created or got from others that I used. I have a couple of those combos in the original Hipsta, but not all.Looking back at this, you can edit anything from the app, Star.

Now, having said that, I am a full member so don’t know whether that gives me more options.
