Go pro with your mobile phone
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
As you know we were a launch partner for Nokia’s Ovi Store back in May this year. We’ve just been exploring their site to see if we can find any advice on how to take fantastic pictures with your camera phone (we know, those ‘captured moments’ on your phone don’t always turn out to be photographic masterpieces). Anyway we came across this nice collection of tips & tricks from Nokia
It gives good, straight forward definitions of the types of effect you can create with your camera phone. If you look really carefully you’ll even see Touchnote stamp in the blog post!
They also claim that this shot was taken on a Nokia N86 - what d’ya think?
Create postcards with fun effects!

We’ve been partners with Photofunia for a while now, and we love the image effects they have - people have used photofunia to put themselves on billboards, on the mona lisa, even drawn on a blackboard!
It’s such a great way to personalise your card and make someone smile.
Now, you can use photofunia effects directly on touchnote.com:
See www.touchnote.com/make-postcard
How do I use the effects?
Just go to www.touchnote.com/make-postcard, and click the browse button to upload a photo.
When it appears, click on some of the effects on the right to see your picture in a new way.
What effects can I use for my postcard?
We’ve provided fifteen of our favourite effects for you to play with.
As a model, I’ve chosen this image of Darwin - I hope he would see it as the compliment it was intended to be!
Some of my favourite effects are:
Be a work of art in a gallery…
have your face, or a friends face, plastered all over an art gallery - a great card for an arty sister or girlfriend perhaps?
…On a wanted poster
A great one for birthdays, or just to make someone smile - put them in a wanted poster!
Great to send to mates with a sense of humour, as an unusual birthday surprise, to fans of old westerns, or anyone a bit nefarious 
And loads more to choose from
We’ve only just touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to great cards you can send with these effects - fashion magazine cover cards, jigsaw effect cards, or on the mona lisa!
Touchnote is 1 today!
