Oh well, I guess that's completely off point - all there is to say is "cool to have an app as that." Regards, Reba.

I thought it stunk of bullshit then and I do now. Glad to know we're democratizing the process in as efficient a way as possible.

Nice app though :) I think one thing to keep in mind is to avoid too many large vertical objects in the focus of the image, as they will end up blurred top and/or bottom & spoil the effect.
