Adjusting the perspective can also let the image place a larger emphasis on the sky or objects in the foreground. Fisheye adjustment not only makes for cool landscape and panorama images but also can be used selectively to place greater emphasis on specify portions of the image being edited. This is shown in the app screenshots, just look at the emblem behind the statue. Convenient image sharing with sister application "Canvas Art" allows recent edits from both applications to be shared and accessed within the application.
