What’s New?
Meet The Lab:
Clarity Pro
At the head of The Lab you’ll find Clarity Pro, which gives you adjustable Clarity and also adds a Vibrancy Boost adjustment which really brings out the life in your photos.
Straighten
Not only can you manually straighten your photos in The Lab… also included is a slick auto-straighten feature.
Tint
Easily tone your photos whatever color you please.
Duotone
This takes the Tint adjustment and brings it to a whole other level.
Soft Focus
Give your photos a beautiful, ethereal quality with Soft Focus.
Film Grain
For the look of analog film. Fully adjustable so you can get the exact look you want.
Sharpen
This can often be the answer to a photo that came out a bit blurry.
Blur
Soften harsh pics. Or go to the extreme to make the perfect iOS 7 wallpapers.
Saturation
Take it down for a cool, faded look. Or crank it up to make your pics pop.
Temperature
Easily enables you to make your pics look “warmer” or “cooler”. It can be used for a simple compensation, or turned way up for a bold look.
Exposure
Photo overexposed? Underexposed? This is the fix.
Brightness & Contrast
Two classic photo adjustments.
Highlights & Shadows
Boost or cut the bright and/or dark parts of your photos. Compensate for imperfect lighting conditions, or go for an intense, artistic effect.
Vignette
Top-off the perfect set of adjustments with a stylish Vignette. Not only can you put on a traditional dark one, you can also go light for an airy feel.
Shooting refinements
In Camera+ 5, the developers have split the exposure compensation and exposure lock controls so that you can have even easier access to each.
iPhone wallpaper crops
As mentioned earlier, Camera+ 5 enables you to make some very awesome iOS 7-style wallpapers. Here’s the ticket: Simply grab one of your favorite pics and take it to The Lab. Then crank the blur way up and add a touch of saturation. Apply one of the new iPhone wallpaper crops, and voilà
New icons throughout the app
Dozens of icons in the app have been redone and have the perfect look to go with iOS 7.
Shiny, new app icon
And the most obvious icon that changed for Camera+ 5 is the app icon itself

I had gone away from using Camera+ in favor of ProCamera and a number of other camera apps. The changes to Camera+ are VERY impressive and, I must say, I’ve been converted back to shooting … and now editing … on Camera+. Great update and free to paid users!
