Most of you must have headed back to your Camera Roll on your iPhone after snapping a picture or recording a video on Camera Plus Pro, and turned pale when you didn’t find them there. Well, you don’t have to worry.  ’Cos all your photos and videos are stored in an indispensable and powerful little library called the Quick Roll within the app itself. You might wonder why I call it powerful. That’s because the Quick Roll lets you do all of the following:

• Tag photos and videos with your own tags
• Search for photos and videos by tags from your entire collection
• Password-protect your private photos and videos for locking them
• Upload multiple photos simultaneously to Flickr, Facebook, Twitter or Picasa
• Mail the photos and videos
• Upload photos and videos with tags to Flickr and Facebook
• Adjust photo quality for faster upload and save on bandwidth

Some of  you might still want these photos and videos in your Camera Roll. To allow you to do so, we have provided with an option to Sync. To sync your photos/videos from the Quick Roll to the Camera Roll, just follow these steps:

Go to the Quick Roll options screen. Now, look for Sync icon in the toolbar. Choose the photos/videos you want to copy to the Photo Library and just tap on Sync icon. These synced photos/videos will now be indicated with a Photo Library indicator for your convenience.

All the synced photos and videos will now appear in your Camera Roll. This is specially useful when you are trying to transfer your photos and videos to your computer.

All these Tips and Tricks have been covered in the FAQ section within the User Manual. We have some great updates planned for Camera Plus Pro; be sure to watch this space.

Since the debut of it’s video recording capabilities at the Macworld Expo 2010, Camera Plus Pro has been in the limelight, and for good reasons. Camera Plus Pro v2.0 with Video Recording, made waves on the App Store the day it was released. It was hailed as truly an All-in-One camera app for the iPhone by all iPhone photography enthusiasts. It broke the Top 100 Paid Apps landmark in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Germany and other major App stores.

Camera Plus Pro was also reviewed and featured by many well known reviewers. A few excerpts from these reviews:

The application’s biggest new feature is the aforementioned video function, which allows you to film not only with the iPhone 3GS, but with previous iPhone models as well.

What’s more, Camera Plus Pro connects users with YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, making it easier to share those videos (and still images) with friends and family over social networking services.

- The Loop

For the communicator, this application is a winner. For the artist, it is an interesting tool to document and geotag a photo or video of a location that you shot.

Camera Plus Pro, already a great alternative camera app, now records video, which its competitors generally don’t.

If for no other reason, you should purchase Camera Plus Pro just to have video recording on your Silverback or 3G. It’s just icing on the cake that it comes with all the bells and whistles you’d want from a camera app.

If you own an iphone, this is a must have software, go get it from the Apple App Store.

Do you know how you could treasure your Christmas Celebrations forever? Simply take out your iPhone, launch Camera Plus Pro and snap away! Yup, you heard that right. Camera Plus Pro is out now on the App Store and just in time for Christmas! We had been working really hard in putting together the app, so that we could make it in time for Christmas. And what do you know, we did it! I know all of you must be really excited in knowing what Camera Plus Pro has in store for you. So without further ado lemme tell you what Camera Plus Pro does.

Camera Plus Pro gives you complete flexibility and freedom over your pictures with its multitude of Capturing, Editing, Sharing and Managing options. Use the Point Zoom feature to point to a particular point on your screen. With the Burst Mode you don’t have to miss even a single moment. Select from 3 to 8 shots at a time with only a second difference between each shot. If you find yourself missing from a lot of pictures, Timed Capture is what you should use.

Make your pictures even more special with the Editing features. Apply filters such as Sepia, Black and White and others and transform your pictures. You can also adjust the brightness, saturation, hue, sharpness and contrast of your pictures. Mix and match these combinations to get that perfect picture. Choose from Circular or Square Crop, to retain a relevant portion of your image. Camera Plus Pro also lets you instantly share multiple pictures via Mail, Facebook or Twitter. Let everyone see them as and when you click them.

Let me also introduce you to a unique feature, Quick Roll.  As you go through the app you will be amazed with the host of Editing,  Sharing and Managing options. This is thanks to the Quick Roll.  With the way an iPhone works,  the Camera Roll does not support Tag and Search, protect private photos, Filters, Editing function, Sharing multiple pictures via Facebook and Twitter, adjusting picture quality for faster upload and save. But with the Quick Roll you can do all the above and also sync it with your Camera Roll. So isn’t this a handy feature?

Some of the other features included are:

Anti-Shake: Anti-Shake prevents blurred pictures and only captures when the device is steady.
Gridlines: Allows you to compose and align your pictures based on the Rule of Thirds.
Big Button: With the Big Button, tap just anywhere on your screen to capture.
Flash: You can apply up to three varying degrees of Flash onto your captures with just a tap. You also have the option of removing Flash if not satisfied.
Protect Private Photos: Apply a password to your personal pictures and hide them from prying eyes.
Copyright and Date: Paste your brand over your pictures by creating and applying your own copyright. Add the date, so that you never forget that occasion.
Tags: Apply Tags to your pictures and organize them. The Search option enables you quickly locate your photos.
Sync: This feature enables you to quickly Sync your pictures from the Quick Roll to the Camera Roll.

Phew! Now that is a lot of features in one app. A lot of effort has gone into the making of this app, both from the developer’s side and from our users. 50 users of Camera Plus helped us Beta Test Camera Plus Pro, and provided us with their suggestions and feedback. We are thankful to all our Beta Testers. You can join them and our other users on Facebook, we would love to see you there. Do try Camera Plus Pro. It is available on the App Store for $1.99 only! You also have a chance of showcasing your pictures on the App Store. Upload your Christmas Photos captured using Camera Plus Pro, to our Camera Plus Facebook, Flickr or Twitter page. The best picture will be featured on our Camera Plus Pro Page on the App Store. So start snapping away on your iPhones and have fun!
