The Obscura app is all about helping you cover up your naughty bits so you can share any photo, regardless of how nude you might have been when the picture was originally taken.

Belgian-based lingerie brand La fille d'o has launched this free iPod, iPhone and iPad app to allow you to change naughty photos so that you can still share them on Facebook or other social media sites. Created by ad agency Famous Interactive, the Obscura app provides the use of black rectangles, stars and other patterns, which you can move over the inappropriate regions of your photo. As La fille d'o describes, the app lets you effectively tweak your photo to "hide sensitive data or just add some suggestion and turn any innocent photo into something funny."
