An Objective-C library that adds Photoshop-style image filters (levels, curves, saturation, sharpen, lomo) as a category on the UIImage class for iOS. It lets non-game developers apply Instagram-style photo effects without heavyweight imaging libraries.

Use cases

  • apply instagram-style filters to photos in an ios app
  • add lomo or polaroid effects to uiimages
  • adjust image levels and curves in objective-c
  • sharpen or saturate photos on iphone
  • simple image processing without gaming libraries

When to choose

  • you are building an older Objective-C iOS app and want quick photo filters
  • you want a lightweight copy-and-paste category on UIImage instead of a full imaging framework
  • you want Photoshop-like levels and curves adjustments in code

When to avoid

  • you need maintained, actively developed software (last release 2012, no license)
  • you need fast performance such as GPU-accelerated or real-time filtering
  • you are using Swift or modern frameworks like Core Image or Metal
  • you need a clear license for commercial use
