App Description

Discover, create and share beautiful filters. Shoot using real exposure compensation. Edit your photos in seconds… Mattebox is anything but standard.

The days of paying for filters are over! Find a great filter and send it to your friends using Twitter, text or email. They can use it right on the web, no app required. Or create your own—it's easy!

THE CAMERA
The Mattebox camera interface features an exposure compensation dial, dual stage shutter and one-touch white balance. Just three simple yet powerful controls, arranged so they can be quickly adjusted with just your thumb. Because your camera shouldn't look like the console of a 747.

THE EDITOR
With the lightning-fast nondestructive editor in Mattebox, you can make adjustments to your photos in seconds. Intelligent features like highlight protection and adaptive black & white conversion mean you never have to sacrifice quality for speed. Use RGB Curves for incredible control, or add film-like grain, vignette and more.

THE WORKFLOW
When you save a photo from Mattebox, it remembers which photo is the original, and what filter was applied. So when you re-open a saved photo, you can keep editing right where you left off, even if it's in the Camera Roll or Photo Stream.

THE INTEGRATION
Mattebox features groundbreaking integration with Adobe® Photoshop® and Lightroom® software. Save any filter as a Lightroom Develop Preset, so you can use it on the desktop. Or export a Master photo as a Photoshop document—with each filter reproduced as a group of Adjustment Layers.
