Appy New Year
Waterlogue turns any iPhone pic into a frame-worthy painting.

When you took home the grand prize at the annual holiday cookie exchange by adding orange zest and powdered sugar to store bought cranberry cookie dough, you proved once and for all that sometimes cheaters do win.
Another way to buck the system? Waterlogue. The novel iPhone app ($2.99) does more than turn smartphone pics into passable paintings. It actually conjures up some truly impressive ones. With 12 different watercolor effects to choose from and the ability to control the size and saturation of the brush strokes, you'll have a perfect pic without ever learning to paint.
Now if only there was a way to shortcut new year workouts.
