If you are looking for a way to add high quality SLR effects to your photos, then check out this free iPhone and iPod Touch app that will to just that. The iPhone and iPod Touch have made capturing photos easier than ever before. And now, you can capture even better photos with the improved optics in the iPhone 5s and all the software magic of iOS 7. But, what if you want to make your photos look like they were shot with a high quality SLR camera? Tadaa SLR is the answer. This app allows you to edit an existing photo or capture a new photo and add incredible background or foreground blurring effects (Bokeh) to make your photos look like they were captured with an expensive SLR camera. And, since the app is Free, there is nothing to lose. There are also several filters and other settings you can adjust to make your photos look even better.

I tried out the app as soon as I downloaded it and was very pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to use and was impressed with the incredible results. I selected a picture that I already had in my camera roll and selected the subject that I wanted to remain in focus (the 2 people in the photo). The selection process is fairly easy thanks to edge detection technology that is built into the app. Select a general area and the app will determine the edges for you. I only had to make a couple of corrections with the eraser tool – really easy.

Once I had finished that, I added the effect. Amazing! I took a normal looking photo and transformed it into what looks like a photo from a nice SLR camera with a high quality lens.
