Digital Focus Manipulates Photos on iPhone, iPad

Press Release
Digital Focus from TekTek is a camera application that allows you to create artistic pictures with blur and focus, just like taking a picture with a SLR camera. It’s available for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
Three main points
1. Blur the background and focus on the subject like taking a picture with a SLR camera.
2. Apply the Toy Camera-style effect to a picture.
3. Create a picture just like making the scene into a miniature world.
Four main features
1.Processing:
– Select from 4 focus shapes (circle, rectangle, oval, without focus)
– Adjust focus size (change the size of focused area)
– Adjust contrast within 3 colors (adjusting red, green and blue colors create toy camera-style effects)
– Adjust brightness
– Adjust vividness
– Control vignetting (add or remove light fall-off at the lens’s edges)
2. Settings:
– Select startup screen (launch camera, select from Album, etc.)
– Save original image (automatically save the original picture before editing)
– Miniature mode (fix focus horizontally, preset the color adjustment value)
– Save the previous color adjustment value
– Sound ON/OFF
– Select image size: iPhone3G (480×640, 960×1280, or original size); iPhone3GS/iPhone 4 (480×640, 960×1280, 1440×1920, or original size)
3. Load:
– Take pictures with iPhone camera
– Load an image from Photo Album
4. Save:
– Save to Album
– Send by email




Notes:
The blur effect is created by editing an image. The result is not the same as the effect of a real SLR camera.
To make a better miniature image, use a photo taken from a high angle to simulate the effect of looking down on a miniature.
This application doesn’t support multitasking.
Price: £0.59/$0.99/€0.79
