As we all know, current generation of iPod touch and iPhone 3GS doesn’t ship with a hardware flash. Which means, there’s not an ‘as-is’ method to take some of the beautiful photos under low-light conditions. Really? WAIT! You won’t miss that anymore! Because Camera Plus Pro, on its 2nd Anniversary today, is introducing Live ‘Soft Flash’ for iPod touch and iPhone 3GS.

All the iPod touch and iPhone 3GS users running iOS 4.1 or later, can tap on the flash icon from the app’s screen and see the Live Preview of the scene on your screen. If you like what you see, simply snap it. If you want, you could still use the exposure control and white balance lock to perfect everything before snapping that photo. The best part is, on your iPod touch, you could apply ‘Soft Flash’ on the front-facing camera as well! ☺ Checkout the video below.

The live ‘Soft Flash’ would work in the regular photo capture mode and can be used in conjunction with the Big Button (the screen turns out to be shutter), Countdown Timer and Anti-Shake for blur-free photos. It’s shy of burst, live filter and video recording mode for now.

That’s the big feature, but there’s more for all the iPhone and iPod touch users. You now have the aspect-ratio-based cropping options. Crop your photos at 1:1, 2:3, 3:2 or 4:3 sizes. If you find these options are limiting in retaining/removing certain portion of the photo, you can always use the free-form crop.

We added the feature to import multiple photos from your Camera Roll to Camera Plus Pro. So, you can now easily beautify your other photos in the Camera Roll with fast and live editing, applying filters and comparing with the original photos instantly. Of course, sharing is just a touch away.

From the very first version of the app, you have had the option to add photo notes and copyright to your photos. The font size has been slightly increased to make it more legible but without obstructing the content of the photo.

Hope you like this gift from Camera Plus Pro team on this very special occasion! Thanks again for all your support and feedback. The app is on sale for a limited period - buy it or gift it!

So we are there! People far away from their families and loved ones might have planned to visit back home; friends and families who could not meet for a long time might have planned to rejoice; likewise, each one of us might have planned something special. The next two weeks are going to be a very special period to relax, rejoice and party with the near and dear ones to make as many memorable moments that last with us till end of time. And while we get ready to welcome the New Year, many of us might plan some great things to be done in the New Year, which would leave a mark in our and others’ lives.

Year 2011 has been great for us and we have many great things to remember. Boom volume booster for Mac received a grand welcome in the late January at the Macworld Expo and went on to bag ‘Macworld Best of Show 2011’ and notebooks.com’s ‘Best of Macworld Expo 2011’. Later in mid June, Boom made it to the Mac App Store and reached the 13th spot in the Top Paid section.

Our iPhone camera app, Camera Plus Pro, received some great updates throughout the first half of the year with some unique photo filters, distortion effects, video controls and more. In late September, the v4.0 got a UI face-lift, Live Filters, smooth video zoom, performance boost and much more. There are some great things planned for this app and we hope to keep you ahead in the iPhone photography arena in the coming days.

The powerful Voila screen-capture tool for Mac was featured during Apple’s Mac App Store launch earlier in January and once again it was ready when Apple launched their new Mac OS X Lion in June. Voila screen-capture tool was a ‘Staff Pick’ and was also featured in Apple’s ‘Macs In Class’ promotion. This tool is now used by hundreds of thousands every day and we would improve this to the next level in the coming year.

Our free iPhone camera app, Camera Plus, launched way back in October 2009 has now grown significantly with millions of users around the globe. There’s something in the pipeline and we hope to surprise you in the next year. Photo Delight for iPad, the color-splashing app with smart-touch technique, is enjoyed by many of you. We receive many colorized photos and some of them are breathtaking! Hats off to your imagination! You’d see some nice updates coming your way some time soon.

This was all possible because “You”, our dear customers. You kept supporting us by purchasing the apps, trying them, and providing useful feedback and suggestions. We take this opportunity to thank each one of you for constantly pushing us to deliver the best each time! As a thank-you note, we are providing some amazing discounts for our apps till 2nd Jan 2012.
