Or they had to jerry-rig their own solutions to tap into something like OpenGL for more powerful functionality. While filters may seem like a simple feature, they\u2019re not easy to create from\u00a0scratch. iOS 5 will now give developers built-in options and a base so they no longer have to create from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>These Core Image options will also significantly speed up image processing for many of the apps out there already using some filters. The reason is that it gives developers easier access to OpenGL, which is what developers currently use for things like video game graphic rendering \u2014 it\u2019s significantly more powerful than Core Graphics, but harder to access.<\/p>\n<p>Does the mean the end of Instagram, Path, Camera+ and the like? No, those guys will likely continue to operate on the more advanced end of the spectrum. Camera+\u2019s \u201cClarity\u201d filter, for example, is likely far beyond what iOS 5 will offer out of the box. But it will be another step towards the commoditization of filters as a whole. If an app has camera functionality, many more will now likely include them because, why not?<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also likely see more apps that focus on video as a result of these additions to iOS. And there should be many more that focus on \u201ccrazy\u201d photo effects.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Wait. so the 25,000 shitty filter apps for iPhone were &#8220;jerry-rigged&#8221;? Oh dear.
