Yucky interface for selecting and applying filters. Had high hopes because I like Polarize, but this one needs a redesign on the UI.
YACBC.
Yet Another CameraBag Clone.
@JS, I agree the UI is not pretty.
@ Paul Miller, I would say it's more like Mill Colour.
Fortunately & Unfortunately I have tested EffectsLab & Photobox.... The results are not what I had hoped.
I tested them when first released & now again after the updates & same results & conclusions. These two apps honestly have made every photo I tested it on look worse than before any edit. Testing on unedited pics the results were truly horrible. Yet testing on already edited photos from other apps & then applying EffectsLab or PhotoBox on top of... The results were considerably better but still not good at all. Being better than worse still isn't good. I truly hate to bash an app/apps considering the developer made one of my fave apps... "Polaroid Project aka Polarize" iPhone app. But these do not compare in quality results in the least. I highly, highly, highly recommend Chris redo the apps & tweak them to perfection as well add beta testers like Glyn, myself & others before another update.
The apps have great ideas, concepts & overall styles of effects it is just the saved results are very unimpressive.
I looked forward to these apps blowing me away with amazing results & so when the opposite happened I was not expecting it to such a degree.
As of v.1.1 I do not recommend EffectsLab or PhotoBox
