Today I’m incredibly excited to announce Naked touch—quick and easy image editing on your iPhone.

Edit your pictures

Naked touch features an incredibly advanced 96-bit graphics pipeline—unprecedented for a handheld platform—to tear through your images at incredible speeds.

Filters include Sharpen, Curves, Brightness + Contrast, White Balance, and Color Balance. Noise Reduction and Highlights + Shadows are in the works, and may or not make their way into Naked touch 1.0.

Images can be pulled from the camera on your iPhone, or from your iPhone or iPod touch photo library.

Share your pictures

When you’re done perfecting your picture, you can quickly upload it to the web through Flickr or social networking sites like Facebook.

Naked touch 1.0 supports Flickr, Facebook, and Tumblr.

FAQ

When will Naked touch launch?

Naked touch should launch in mid to late July.

Like 80% of other iPhone developers, I have not yet been accepted into the beta program. Apple has indicated it will open up the iPhone more widely after the 2.0 launch, but has been unclear about how wide this will be and how soon this will happen.

After acceptance, Naked touch will still need to go through heavy performance optimization and testing.

What will Naked touch cost?

Naked touch will cost $9.99 at launch for a short period of time, before settling at around $16.99.

Does Naked touch feature nodes or layers?

No, Naked touch does not do any image compositing.

It’s feature set is closer to what Aperture and Lightroom offer for image adjustments.

When will screenshots be released?

Screenshots will be released on Friday, July 11th.

Is there a Naked touch beta?

No. Naked touch is a much simpler design than Naked light, targets a single platform, and is currently incredibly stable. Beta testing is not necessary as it is for Naked light.

    I’m not sure if this is possible, but the thing that would make this app perfect would be the ability to upload the edited photo to Flickr or Facebook.

    Bought Naked Touch for my iPhone. All seems to Roel as advertised except for cropping. How do you use the cropping feature?
