## What it is
An Objective-C image picker and camera controller for iOS that applies live GPU-accelerated filters and adjustable radial blur to the camera stream, built on top of the GPUImage library. It also supports front-facing camera capture, post-capture filter editing, and importing photos from the camera roll.

## Use cases
- capture photos with live filters on ios
- add radial blur to camera view
- build a filtered camera app for iphone
- apply filters to images from the camera roll
- use front facing camera with gpu filters

## When to choose
- you are building an older Objective-C iOS app that needs a camera with real-time GPUImage filters
- you want a ready-made image picker with radial blur and filter editing out of the box

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new modern iOS project - the library has not been updated since 2014 and lacks Swift support
- you need Android or cross-platform camera filtering
- you need long-term maintenance or recent iOS API compatibility
