Looks nice... I'm interested for sure.
I hope it saves to the originals full resolution!

I'll pass until I read a positive review .... I already have purchased tooooo many photo apps that save in a low res.
I have been looking for something with filters like this, anyone know of any other apps that contain something like them? Thanks
@Marlene. Pamela is preparing a review of this app, so stay tuned.
@Catmouth. Check out FotoMuse
Am I going to end up spending more money?
Unfortunately it does not save at full resolution. Only 512 x 314
Neat concept for a app but really lacks because of this feature.
Oops, sorry I meant to say it only outputs to 320 x 214
Well .... the 320 x 214 output is a deal killer for me. I'm already sitting on several great apps waiting for an upgrade in resolution ..... FotoMuse is one.
Well, I won't buy it till they upgrade the resolution. What a shame.
I added a 1536x2048 3GS resolution portrait photo & app saved to 240x320
I normally would jump down a developers throat at such a ridiculous lack of sizing. But due to the fact the filters are give amazingly good effects & textures. Combined with this being the dev's first app. I will politely state that this app needs sizing to be updated to the highest/full resolutions ASAP.
If this can be improved to full resolution & even more textures, filters etc added I have no problem highly recommending this app with 5 stars.
As it is now it's a shame that an app that shows alot of time was involved making these great textures available on the iPhone is ruined with it's tiny saved results.
Version 1.0 is a gimmicky app at 320x240 If full resolution is added in version 1.0.1+ it will be a great photography app!

I never understood why people like these kinds of filters - why would anyone want to make their pictures look worse?
