Decoding RAW+jpg files broken
Update: After iOS 8 installed, Photogene no longer handles RAW+jpg files correctly. When settings configured to ignore the jpg and open the RAW file, only opens the jpg. Will briefly display "Decoding RAW" but dont be fooled. What you get is NOT THE DECODED RAW FILE. It is the embedded jpg. Works correctly for stand-alone RAW files, but RAW+jpg pair is broken.

Photogene is a very capable basic image editing package crippled by a hopelessly distracting interface. Making careful, subtle adjustments to the colours or white balance of an image is impossible when the perifery of the screen is littered with swatches of brilliant turquoise. There is no way to get rid of it, and for this reason alone I have stopped using this app and cannot recommend it to others.
If you are looking for basic functionality and some fun filters, there are numerous other options available. If you want state of the art image editing for iPad, with full layers capability, check out Pixelmator and Art Studio. They are more expensive, but worth every penny.
