Apple tries to make its product better with each release. Photo
quality is one of the principal options that have been
continuously improved. However, even the best photo camera can’t guarantee
you the best result. That’s why it’s important to have a good photo editor to
change your photos for the best. Have a look at these iPhone/iPad photo
applications that we’ve collected for you.
1.
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP EXPRESS (FREE)
The name speaks for
itself. Adobe Photoshop Express is a free application for iPhone, iPod Touch
and iPad (Retina supported) that will help you to improve the
photos. Choose from a number of cool effects, or just move your
finger across the screen to rotate, crop, or adjust color. Free version of
Photoshop Express includes all the basic actions as well as filters, frames and
about 10 effects. If it doesn’t seem enough to you, you may buy an additional
pack with 45 more effects and 40 frames for $5. One more in-app purchase worth
mentioning is Adobe Camera Pack. It includes such features as self-timer to
snap a photo of yourself, auto-review of a future pic and noise reducing.
