    Looking for iPhone camera app to help with snow pics- overexposure

    I took what would have been a great picture yesterday, but it is overexposed. Lots of great on snow photos have come out this way. Pretty much on all bluebird days (it was at the time of this pic), the pics come out looking like this.

    Suggestions on Apps?

    Looks like it's at least a stop underexposed to me. iPhones don't have exposure compensation?

    2-3 stops underexposed. Problem w/light meters is they try to make everything neutral gray, especially snow. Look for an exposure compensation app that let's you add +2 EV to what it thinks it should be.

    That is the opposite of overexposed. By a lot.

    thats not a 3gs i take it? i use photogene (.99c i think) to re-white balance my snow pics that come out gross. you can also do color saturation and contrast too, plus some gimicky stuff (comic book bubbles/borders/etc.)

    as far as i know there wont be any app to manipulate the image sensor itself while you are taking a photo, the apple SDK doesnt have a class to interact directly with the inner workings of the camera just fundamental operations.

    so you will have to fix the image after capturing.
