This quick tips will show you how to Share Multiple Files with MobileMe

1. Select the files or folders you want to share. (To select multiple files hold down the Command key on a Mac or the Control key on a PC as you click on each one.)
2. Use the Actions menu via the Gear icon in the Toolbar, and select Compress items. This will automatically create a single compressed file named Archive.zip that contains your files or folders.
3. Share Archive.zip file just as you would any other iDisk file. (Before you share it, you can change the “Archive” part of the name to something more descriptive, but keep the .zip extension so the receiver’s computer will know to decompress the files when the receiver opens it.)

If you ever dreamed of becoming an illustrator until you actually tried putting pen or brush to paper, PhotoArtist ($1.99 via the iTunes store) is your consolation prize. This $1.99 (direct) iPhone app will turn your photos into images resembling bold and beautiful stylized drawings, paintings, or illustrations in various fine-art and commercial styles. I found that, at their best, PhotoArtist’s effects were among the most appealing produced by the iPhone apps I’ve examined. What’s more, you can easily share your creations with other iPhone users free via the Big Canvas PhotoShare site.

HFD Calculator app can tell you precisely, in either feet, inches, meters, or centimeters, the point where the hyper focal distance lies. The app uses algorithms based on your camera type, lens aperture, and focal length to come up with the exact spot. It’s up to you to have your camera on a tripod and to manually focus—neither of which your iPhone can help with (yet…)—and then click away.

HFD Calculator has a very simple-to-use interface. Choose your camera type from more than 150 options, enter the aperture and the focal length, and the HFD appears at the top of the screen. The app very quickly recalculates as your parameters change.

There’s much to love about the iPhone, but the built-in camera isn’t on that list. Even if you can get past the low resolution and lack of flash, you still have to resign yourself to the fact that you can’t edit any photos you take with the camera–at least, not without the help of some third-party apps.

Special Effects: In addition to cropping and other adjustments, Photogene includes the ability to add other effects such as frames, though bubbles, and background options.

Add Photogene to the list of helpful image editors from the App Store. Developed by Omer Shoor, this user-friendly app makes cropping, adjusting, and adding fun effects to your photos a breeze. Photogene can edit images in your library as well as ones taken with the built-in camera, so the app works with both the iPhone and the camera-less iPod touch.
