iOS developer Omer Shoor has released an update to his acclaimed photo editing application for the iPad. Photogene for iPad is an intuitive application that provides iPad users with a comprehensive set of photo editing tools, including cropping and straightening, sharpening, color adjustments, red-eye correction, resizing, filters, special effects and text boxes and frames. Users can upload their edited photos directly to Facebook and Twitter, send the new photos out via e-mail or save them back to the iPad Photo Library. Photogene also provides support for opening and editing RAW files imported with the iPad Camera Connection kit. Photogene for iPad 1.3 adds support for uploading images directly to Flickr and FTP servers and adding IPTC metadata to photos during upload. The update also provides custom crop ratios and fixes a bug related to selecting Facebook albums. Photogene for iPad 1.3 is available from the App Store for $4 and is a free update for current users. The iPhone and iPod touch version of Photogene has not yet been updated.
