iPad Photo Filtering Apps

AutoPainter HD does the best job at turning terrible photos into something truly impressive. Rather than simply applying a filter, this app will use your photos as the base and guide for a virtual painting. You can choose from four different styles. These paintings are unique and beautiful. You are able to stop the painting process mid stream if you like where it has progressed to. This is the essential photo enhancement/filter app for the iPad 2.
