Hauppauge, NY—The Tiffen Company announced an update to its Photo fx Ultra, a photo enhancement software application for the Apple iPad. Photo fx Ultra v2 is available at the Apple iTunes store for $5.99 and as a free update to current Photo fx Ultra users.
New here is an added paint filter to the image group with color, clone, blur, black and white, mosaic, red-eye, repair, scatter and eraser brushes, and the new photographic group offers opacity control added to the mask brush settings and crop and rotation enhancement. Now users can rotate by 1/10 of a degree. Photo fx Ultra v2 also has corrected tint feature.
Photo fx Ultra v2, while similar to Photo fx for the iPhone, provides a user interface that takes advantage of the increased screen size and higher resolution of the iPad. Other features include: a color correct filter; more presets; a search capability for all filters and effects; file compatibility with Tiffen's Dfx Digital Filter still image editions that run as stand-alone applications or plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop or Apple Aperture, allowing the transfer of filter settings; a levels filter; sharpen, auto - eye light, color compensating, color conversion, light balancing and photographic filters; and a crop tool to standard print sizes such as 4x6, 5x7, 8x8, 8x10, 8x12, 11x14, 12x12, 12x18, 16x19, 16x20, 16x24 and 20x30. tiffen.com
Tiffen also released an update for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch owners. Tiffen Photo fx v4 image editing software is available as a free update for current Photo fx owners and is available from the Apple iTunes app store for $2.99.
“We listened to what users asked for with our Tiffen Photo fx app and have responded with some fantastic new features to meet these requests,” said Hilary Araujo, vice president, The Tiffen Company. The update features a paint filter with color, clone, blur, black-and-white mosaic, red-eye, repair, scatter and eraser brushes; sharpen and auto adjust; and a new question mark icon that tells users how to use filters. Tiffen also renamed the photo groups and filter placement to match those of the Photo fx Ultra iPad app. Other enhancements include opacity to the brush, size and softness controls, and Photo fx v4 now allows users to e-mail many of the enhanced images from photos taken or stored on their iPhones and saves the new images for display later without overwriting the original image. tiffen.com
