Forward Thinking
The Filterstorm 3 update involved a complete re-think of the interface with incremental updates to the back end. Filterstorm 4 is the opposite. The interface has been refined, but the back end has been replaced in order to incorporate the most requested feature since FS1 came out 18 months ago: Layers.
Overlay Blending a Layer with Blur
Layers in Filterstorm 4 allow you to apply multiple filters to the same mask and use different blend modes to improve your images. Curves, hue/saturation, and most filters will show you a real-time preview of the change as you drag the sliders and controls. You can also get a split view previewing what a filter will change side by side with how the image currently looks.
Editing Enhanced
Hue/Saturation, Curves, and Cropping
Filterstorm's interface is designed to get out of the way as much as possible so you can see what you're doing. The sliders (left image) can be dragged from any point, barely cover the image, and give you fine-tuned precision.
Masking Mastery
Filterstorm's selective editing abilities have always been its hallmark. Brushing, erasing, gradients, color selection, opacity, and vignetting options give you a large selection of tools to create the perfect mask.
Exporting Evolved
You can now export to the Camera Roll, FTP, Email, Dropbox, Flickr, Twitter, and Facebook. Furthermore, the back end and interface have been designed to be easily supplemented in the future with more export options.
An export settings popover lets you choose the jpeg compression quality, and dimensions of your final image right at the time of export.
