LensBoost offers a straight forward and fast UI with unique vintage and retro filters / frames instead which allows for quick and easy adjustments to your full sized images, no cropping involved thanks in part, to it being built using BlackBerry WebWorks.
Feature Overview:
- Apply filters in SECONDS, not minutes!
- Filter full-screen images, no cropping needed
- Share photos over BBM, Facebook, and Twitter
- TiltShift – Create depth of field in your photos
- 12 Unique vintage, and retro style filters
- 6 Frames/Borders
- More to come in the very near future!
Developed in part, at the San Francisco BlackBerry Hackathon and having won the 2nd place award at the DevCon WebWorks Hackathon - LensBoost is set up as a BBM Connected allowing you to easily share between BBM friends but the sharing options also include Twitter and Facebook.
