RGB Filter

Finally here! The way to filter a picture and change the color of your photos! Import images to change their color and use camera mode to take pictures with color filters. This is done by interacting with our ui design, and how we designed the app where you can: - tap to take a picture - hide the UI to view full-screen images - capture full-screen pictures - change the color of images with our RGB slider Notes: We do not store or share any of your photo or camera data! (you manually save and export your own images) We have video mode already made, but first, we are working on enhancing the image and camera mode!
