Camera+ for iOS Gets a Massive Update

Camera+ for iOS has received a massive update bringing improved sharing, multiple photo library import, workflows, focus & exposure locks, APIs, and much more.

Whether you're a seasoned photographer or someone who's barely touched a camera, Camera+ will make you love taking photos. Everybody has a creative side… Camera+ will help bring that creativity out in you, all with a fun, innovative, and beautiful design.

★ EXCLUSIVE Touch Exposure & Focus for the ultimate control…
Set exposure separately from focus for the ultimate control of your shots… simply touch with a 2nd finger while focusing to adjust exposure until your shot is perfect. [available on iPhone 4 and 3GS on iOS4 only]


★ EXCLUSIVE Photo Flashlight to brighten up your photos…
Use the iPhone 4 LED flash as a continuous fill light to improve photo quality, especially for portrait and macro shots.

★ No more blurry shots…
Use the stabilizer to steady your camera and get the sharpest pics you can.

★ Put an end to crooked pics…
Use the grid to line up your shots and eliminate unsightly angled photos.

★ Highest quality zoom…
Camera+ has a 6× digital zoom that simply blows away the competition in terms of quality.


★ Scene modes and flash…
Most modern digital cameras all have scene modes to help you get the best photos for your particular situation. And why shouldn't your iPhone have this great feature? Well, with Camera+, you get to choose from several scene modes including Backlit, Sunset, Night, Portrait, Beach, and many more. And for the times when your photos came out too dark, we have a high quality digital flash to make them look great.

★ Crops let you frame your pics perfectly…
If you didn't line up your shot perfectly when you took it, you can easily fix that with Camera+. And when you want to get a bit creative, we setup a bunch of popular crop sizes for you. With a single tap, you can make your pics square, 4×6, 8×10, etc.

★ Dozens of amazing effects…
We partnered with professional photographer, Lisa Bettany, to bring you a slew of stunningly beautiful effects. With a single tap, you can transform a soulless pic into a work of art. Make your photos shimmer with "HDR"… get down and dirty with "Grunge"… fill your pics with emotion and despair with "So Emo". There are dozens of 1-touch effects for you to experiment with so that you can get the perfect result every time.

★ Wrap it all up with stylish borders…
With Camera+, you get several great border designs so that you can put the finishing touch on your photos.

★ Share your creations…
Whether you want to show your results to your friends and family or the whole world, Camera+ has got you covered. Share your pics on Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. Or go the simple route and email them from right within the app.


WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION:
★ App icon: The very first thing you'll notice in Camera+ 3 is its shiny, new icon. It's essentially the same Camera+ icon that you've grown to know and love… but better and much more polished.

★ Dramatically improved sharing: There are two main improvements here… The first is that you can now share to multiple services, or even multiple accounts on the same service, all at the same time. The second big thing that you'll notice with sharing is the increase in speed. It's now faster than ever to share your photos online.

★ Multiple photo library import: We're introducing a great new feature where you can import multiple photos from your photo library all at once. And we added several fine touches to the import panel. Large thumbnails, zooming to view your photo large, and photo info will help ensure that you're choosing exactly the photos you want.

★ Workflows: Sometimes you want to shoot a bunch of pics in a row without having to think about things like editing and sharing. And sometimes you want to do just the opposite and edit and share each pic you take, right after you take it. Workflows easily provide you with the flexibility to do it either way.

★ Focus & exposure locks: Now you can lock the focus and exposure of the camera, independently of each other. Photographers looking for the utmost flexibility in shooting will love this new feature because it enables all kinds of creative ways of taking awesome shots.

★ APIs: We've created a few comprehensive APIs for Camera+. These APIs enable people to integrate Camera+ into other apps and to create web services that make use of the many, many photos that have been shared by Camera+ users. Several prominent developers have already integrated Camera+ into their apps via these new APIs. Check-out the WordPress, Tweetbot, Twitterrific, Foodspotting, and Twittelator Neue apps in the App Store to see these APIs in action. And to get all the details on how the APIs work, visit http://api.camerapl.us

★ Improved Lightbox UI: We're a bit obsessive when it comes to user interface and user experience. With Camera+ 3, we've reworked several details of the Lightbox to make it even more usable. It'll take a couple of seconds to get used to the changes but we're completely confident that you'll love these improvements almost immediately.

★ Create web link: Many of you used to use the SMS sharing feature (now renamed to Message) for passing web links along to others. Now we've got a much better, easier, and dedicated way of doing it.

★ Tuned Clarity: Often imitated but never duplicated, Clarity is one of the things that makes Camera+ what it is. And now it's even better, especially if you're using an iPhone 4S.

★ VolumeSnap setting in menu: VolumeSnap is our birthright. That is all.

★ Status bar in Lightbox: In previous versions of Camera+, we didn't display the status bar (you know… that thingy with the clock, battery level, etc at the top of your screen) when you were in the Lightbox. Well, that's all changed with this version! Never again miss picking your kids up at soccer practice because you were editing photos and had no clue what time it was.

★ Improved performance: We've gone through painstaking steps to improve performance in several parts of the app. It all feels a lot more fluid now. But don't just take our word on it… try it yourself and see how much nicer it is now.

★ Notifications: Find-out about Camera+ updates, news, and contests. We've implemented notifications so they're not intrusive and they're opt-in only.

★ Lotsa bug fixes: We've identified and fixed several bugs in Camera+. Thanks to all of you who've reported any issues you've experienced.

★ Various other subtle, but significant enhancements

You can purchase Camera+ from the App Store for a limited time price of $0.99.
