Smartphones have become an indispensable tool for most people, photographers included. We talk a lot about great apps for photographers, but here are five fantastic non-photography apps for photographers that will make your life far easier. Rajesh khanna hit video songs list free download.
1. CARROT Weather
I am a bit of a weather geek, and CARROT Weather is my favorite all-in-one app that provides a hub for all the information any working photographer can use. It is also a hilarious app that delivers the forecast with a heavy dose of attitude that can be customized in levels ranging from 'professional' through to 'homicidal' and 'overkill.' Do not let that fool you, though; its information is detailed and accurate. Sourcing well-known Dark Sky, it provides hourly forecasts of temperature, cloud cover, and precipitation probability, along with to-the-minute real-time precipitation updates. It also contains a very usable looping radar, a fun AR mode, past data, severe weather alerts, today widget, and more. Upgrading to a subscription enables map layers like cloud cover, active warnings, lightning strikes, dew point, and more. For ultra-level radar geeks, you might want to also grab RadarScope to get access to different reflectivity tilts, velocity scans, and more, but for 99% of photographers who just need to know how the weather is going to affect their work and plans, CARROT is accurate and detailed, all wrapped up in a clean, useful interface. It is available for both iPhones and Android, as well as Apple Watch, Mac, and Apple TV.
2. Easy Release — Model Releases
A lot of genres of photography involve the need for signed model and/or property releases. Keeping track of paper releases can be a pain, and if you are anything like me, half the paper you touch gets lost anyway. Easy Release takes care of that by digitizing the entire process. You can save all your release forms on your phone and have your clients sign them right there. PDF copies are auto-saved to the cloud platform of your choice. It comes pre-bundled with industry-standard model and property releases currently in use by major agencies in 13 languages. You can use your phone's or tablet's camera to take an ID picture to accompany the release, customize the releases with your own language and branding, and track the status of pending releases. Personally, I prefer Notability for working with documents, but given that Easy Release is approved for use by major companies like Getty and Shutterstock, you may prefer it for your work. It is a great way to make sure you are covering yourself and your business legally and to keep everything organized. The app is available for iOS and Android devices.
3. 2Do
Life is busy, and I personally cannot get through my day without a to-do list to keep track of everything. There are hundreds of such apps out there, but my personal favorite is 2Do. It has a simple, straightforward interface, but also offers loads of advanced features and customization if you need them. What I particularly appreciate is that unlike most other task apps, it does not force you into a particular management strategy. Tasks can include attachments, descriptive notes, and extra alarms, you can create tasks that repeat at designated intervals, add subtasks, create checklists and projects, create tabbed categories (great for separating work and personal lists), add password protection on the entire app or on specific lists, view upcoming, overdue, or starred tasks, create smart lists based on filters and presets, create batch edits, share tasks, add actions, and way more.
I sync my app with my free Toodledo account (you can sync with numerous task management services) and use Toodledo's browser interface when I am on my computer, but if you prefer a dedicated application, there is a Mac version in addition to the iOS, Android, and Apple Watch apps. 2Do is probably the most used application on my phone.
4. QuickBooks
QuickBooks is the standard bookkeeping software for a wide variety of businesses, and their mobile apps offer a ton of useful features for photographers on the go. The app is quite good, offering you access to all your relevant business information. In addition, you can use your phone's GPS to automatically track and categorize mileage for invoicing and tax deductions, create and track invoices, accept payment via credit card or bank transfer via QuickBooks Payments, manage cash flow, forecast future finances, view profit and loss reports, view account balances, track expenses, photograph receipts and attach them to expenses, add and track new customers, and more. It syncs to your QuickBooks Online account so you can easily view and run your business on your computer as well. The app is available for both iOS and Android.
5. Point of Sale App
I did not put a specific app here because there are numerous choices out there, and it really comes to a combination of your bookkeeping app of choice and its integration with various POS services, the fees involved, ease of use, and many other factors, making the right app a very individual choice for each photographer out there.
Nonetheless, POS apps have really become useful in the last few years, and you can see them in use by tons of small business owners. Most come with a small credit card reader you can attach to your phone or tablet, enabling you to accept payments anywhere you have a data connection. One of the most common is Square, which has common features like offline charging (the transaction will then be completed when you have service), product customization, receipts over text and email (you can also print hard copies), loyalty program integration, online invoicing and marketplaces, gift card creation, and more. Most such services are available for both iOS and Android and charge a percentage fee per transaction. Twixtor adobe premiere cc 2017 mac.
If you are working in a studio, you might not find something like this useful, but if you are frequently working on location, it can be very handy. For example, a lot of fine arts photographers will rent tent space at weekend festivals to sell prints, a perfect application of such a service.
What Are Your Favorite Apps?
Do you have any favorite non-photography apps that help you as a photographer? Raw loops london dub tech wav download free. Share them in the comments!
I have a special place in my heart for the CARROT suite of apps, since their creator, Brian Mueller, was one of the first developers to pitch me when I broke into the tech writing business. That first app, originally called CARROT, is now known as CARROT To-Do, because he's expanded it into an entire suite, composed of CARROT To-Do, CARROT Fit, CARROT Alarm, Artificial Superintelligence (a game featuring CARROT), and even a CARROT sticker pack.
The gimmick of the CARROT apps is that they're powered by a hilariously murderous AI called CARROT, which dishes out insults while helping you reach your goals. CARROT is inspired by GLaDOS from Valve's 'Portal' series of games, but while Valve has seemingly given up on game development, CARROT is very much still alive. Well, in the AI sense, anyway.
The latest app in the CARROT suite is the $4.99 CARROT Weather, and it's not only my favorite app in the suite, it's also my favorite weather app period. Bradley Chambers of the Sweet Setup concurs, naming it the best weather app for iPhone and iPad. CARROT Weather is optimized for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
When you open CARROT Weather, it gives you an hourly forecast in an attractive format, along with a daily forecast on the bottom of the screen. By default, CARROT Weather gets its weather predictions from Dark Sky, which is pretty accurate (Adam Engst is a fan, see 'Dark Sky 5 Offers Hyperlocal Weather Forecasts for iOS,' 7 August 2015). I love that I can open the app and see the entire day's weather at a glance.

- 'Does the sun really think he can hide? We see you behind those clouds, stupid star.'
- 'It's hotter than Pauly Shore's career out here.' (It was 11 degrees Fahrenheit.)
- 'Sorry meatbag, I'm busy sending nice weather to the s*** hole countries right now.' (CARROT claims that it actually controls the weather.)
CARROT Weather displays a warning icon on the main screen if there are any weather alerts in your area — tap the icon to see full details. Alas, the National Weather Service writes the alerts, not CARROT.
There's also usually a little illustration of white stick figures doing something. I don't know what it means, if anything. When it's raining or snowing, a graph of precipitation over the next hour replaces the figures.
CARROT Weather features a few other goodies that make it worth the price of admission:
- Full weather radar (United States only). It lets you scroll backward in time to see the path of precipitation, but not forward to see where it's predicted to go.
- An Apple Watch app that actually works. The complication is reliable and the app loads instantly! To date, it's the only third-party complication or app I use regularly.
- Secret locations you can track down, such as the Moon, Chernobyl, and the Titanic
- My personal favorite, an AR mode that brings CARROT into the semi-real world. Whatever you do, don't poke or look directly in her ocular sensors!
- A 'time travel' feature that lets you view weather from the past or future! You can go all the way back to 1948 or ahead to 2028. (Take the weather predictions for 2028 with a grain of salt.)
CARROT Weather has a rich settings screen. You can adjust CARROT's personality to any of the following:
- Professional, if you don't care for CARROT's banter. This disables CARROT's personality.
- Friendly
- Snarky, in which CARROT 'will deliver sarcastic weather reports (mostly) free of violence'
- Homicidal, in which CARROT 'may threaten you and your loved ones with bodily harm'
- Overkill, in which CARROT 'will make creative use of profanity in her forecasts'
For all settings other than Professional, you can also alter CARROT's politics to centrist, liberal, conservative, or none. I'm not sure what the differences between the three political settings are — feel free to experiment.

- The capability to choose which data points appear in the iOS and watchOS apps
- Additional data layers for the radar
- Automatic background updates for Apple Watch
- Apple Watch notifications for precipitation and severe weather

I think the Premium Club membership is worth it just for the notifications, which I've found to be reliable. Better yet, unlike every other weather app I've tried, they don't drain my battery! In fact, when I check my battery usage in Settings > Battery, CARROT has used only 2 percent of my battery over the past 24 hours, and it doesn't even show up in the 7-day battery usage list.
For $1.49 per month or $9.99 per year, you can join the Ultrapremium Club, which unlocks Weather Underground as a source. In my experience, Dark Sky is pretty good, but Weather Underground is just a bit better. I've used both, but neither is entirely accurate. For example, it was snowing the other day while CARROT Weather showed clear skies with Weather Underground's data. But I learned from @NashSevereWx on Twitter that flurries were happening under the radar, so at that point, I was butting up to the limits of modern meteorology. For less anecdotal accuracy comparisons, check out ForecastAdvisor.
If you've been left unsatisfied by other weather apps, CARROT Weather will do a good job for you. But be glad she's just an app.
