Very decent photo effects app that lets you turn boring photos into works of art. It was available for $0.99 for a short time, but even at the full price of $1.99 this is a worthy photo editing app for the iPad.

Remember our step-by-step Photoshop CS6 guide that taught you how to add colour to a monochrome image? Well, now there's an iPad app which does exactly that. ColorStrokes HD lets you put colour back into your black-and-white photos from the comfort of your tablet.
You can do this in three ways. You can import your photo in grayscale, then use the Color tab to put the original colour back into the photo. Or, you can do the opposite; go color to begin with and then use the grayscale feature to remove the colour. Finally, you can add colour to your photo that was never there to start with using the paint tab, where you can choose from 22 different colours.
