Refined for iOS - The bottom tab bar is now sized to match iOS instead of being oversized, giving your content more room.

NEW: Negative Preview Digitize 35mm, 120, and sheet-film negatives with your phone camera. The live preview inverts the negative in real time, so you see the positive image as you frame.
