Camera Boost: The first LIVE image enhancement and effects camera app for the iPad2! Effects are shown live at full size and quality, and everything is instant. This is not a photo editor or a camera that ‘develops’ effects later.

It’s very easy to use. The live camera view is always on screen. As you select various enhancements and effects, you see the result immediately in the live view. Add as many as you want, tweaking and combining them to get the look you want. Got it looking "just so"? Tap the Photo button at any time to take a picture – it’s saved to the album instantly, and you can then share to Facebook, flickr, email etc.

Camera Boost has a good range of image enhancements, filters and stylish effects that will improve your image, increasing picture quality or creating artistic photo effects. You can mix and match to create a wide range of looks – how about a cleaner, sharper photo with brighter colors? Or a retro washed out look? Or a softer black and white style, or even false color like a thermal camera! There’s no limit on how many effects you use – the camera is always fast and responsive and shoots instantly.
