Shanghai, China - Maple Studio has announced the release and immediate availability of iDarkroom 2.3, a significant update to their powerful photo editor for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Now optimized for iOS 8, iDarkroom has been rebuilt to provide a professional DSLR-like camera experience while including a large spectrum of special filters, effects and editing tools.

"There are now a ton of photo editing apps proliferating the App Store," says Christine Chan of Apps Gone Free. "But I'm here to tell you about another one that should be added to your photography arsenal: iDarkroom. This app has become one of my favorite apps to use because of the variety of effects." (27 Feb 2011)

There are many special effects and overlays to be optimized in iDarkroom. iDarkroom includes a total of 22 color filters and 17 monochrome filters as well as more than 40 different overlay effects. The toon filter converts the image to a cartoon while the ink filter makes the image look like a hard-drawn ink line or dot drawing. Additional filters include woodcut, pop art, and halftone. Users can also modify their image with a Tilt Shift filter that includes lens blur, Radial blur filter, Circular blur filter, and a glow special effect filter.

Overlay effects include 10 film paper effects, 10 Grunge effects, 11 light leak effects, and 10 frame effects with adjustable texture. The updated iDarkroom also features customizable Bokeh effects such as lens distortion, dispersion, and lens blur. Additionally, most options allow the user to control the intensity of the effect.

"iDarkroom can be summed up in five words," says Kenny Helphill from Tap! (Issue 04, 22 Jun 2011). "Cross process, texture, bokeh and vignette. There are multiple variations of each available and they're all very effective. It's terrific fun at a very reasonable price."

iDarkroom contains 10 powerful and unique adjustment tools for users to customize their image. As users apply each tool, the photo shows the adjustment in real-time. This allows for a more detailed-oriented adjustment experience. Users can adjust their photos with:

* Curve, including specific red, green, and blue options
* Shadows/highlights
* Sharp
* Color balance
* Temperature
* Vibrance
* Saturation
* Contrast
* Brightness
* Gamma

Named one of the 5 Best Photo Apps To Use With Instagram by The RecApp, Bettina Johnson says, "The iDarkroom photo app not only has the traditional filters found in most image-editing apps, it goes above and beyond with color-contrast adjustments, a variation of blurring techniques, unique texture effects and a range of cropping options that are sure to bring attention to your iPhoneography skills. It's never been easier to spice up your Instagram photos." (29 Feb 2012)

Users can share their iDarkroom creations in a variety of ways. After completing tweaks to their image, iDarkroom prompts the user to choose from 3 different resolutions: 816 x 612, 1632 x 1224, and 3264 x 2448. Users can save the picture to their Photo Album and share directly via E-mail, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Google+, or Weibo.
