So Photo fx for the iPhone is now at version 4.0 with the following updates...

  • Filter groups have been renamed to match Photo fx Ultra for the iPad
  • Filter placement and group naming has been re-organized and changed to match Photo fx Ultra for the iPad
  • Compatibility with the still image editions of the Tiffen Dfx Digital Filter Suite through emailing of setups
  • Slider background was removed
  • Before/After icon was changed from double-arrows to a lightning bolt icon
  • Save icon was changed from a disk to an arrow icon which is the iPhone/iPad standard
  • Fixed a bug where the Tint > Amount sliders would freeze when set to O

this is such a phenomenal App. This App on my iPad has almost completely eliminated my need to use Photoshop CS for anything, using printer profiles is about the only thing I need that it can't do. I wish there were more detailed "how-to's" for it's capabilities
