What's new in v1.5.3

The app is now called Chroma Photo Lab. Same app, same effects, same license. Angle and rotation parameters now span a much wider range (up to ±36000°), with sticky values on multiples of 90° and tick marks on multiples of 30°. Faster preview while dragging a parameter. Fixed issue where a photo captured in Live Preview could come back without the effect applied. Android 16 support.
