No. 4 – Enlight
Enlight is one of the most unique digital imaging applications available. Its arsenal includes a huge range of different tools, both basic and advanced - selective control of exposure and color, cropping, rotation, scenic and sketch effects, tilt shift and intelligent photo correction.
At first glance, it may seem that mastering all the features requires a lot of time, but this is not at all the case. Enlight developers took care of their users and seriously worked on the help menu. However, in most cases it will not be useful, since the program interface is most often intuitive.
#3 – VSCO
The bronze medalist of our top photo editors for iPhone is the popular VSCO application. It contains a huge set of filters, including B5, which turns a color photo into black and white, C1, which adds brightness to the image, and many others. The user can edit the intensity of the selected filter independently. If you need additional presets, they can be unlocked for money, but the standard ones will be quite enough for most users.
VSCO allows you not only to work with filters, but also to edit the exposure of a photo, its color and other parameters. The built-in editor is very advanced, but at the same time easy to use. In addition, VSCO can be used as an analogue of the standard camera application.
#2 – Snapseed
Snapseed can easily be called a professional photo editor, and there is not an ounce of exaggeration in these words. It allows you to add various frames to a photo, apply filters to it, and also edit contrast, saturation and other parameters.

With the growing popularity of selfies, special applications that edit a self-portrait so that it becomes ideal are becoming increasingly in demand. With their help, you can remove minor blemishes, pimples, shadows under the eyes, slightly change the color scheme of the photo and end up with a photo of a real beauty or handsome man. A tool like Photoshop and the like can easily cope with such tasks, but not everyone wants to understand such a voluminous and complex program. It’s good that there are many applications that allow you to bring your photos to perfection in just a few clicks. And today we will focus on the simplest, most convenient and popular ones.
An application for those who want to edit photos almost instantly, without bothering with numerous settings, sliders, etc. You just need to open the photo you want or take it using the camera of your phone or tablet, and then lighten it with one click. However, apart from lightening, this application does not do anything else, but is based on the fact that lighter photographs do not convey possible skin imperfections, and therefore look more attractive. There are three lightening methods available: white, which the photo highlights a little unnaturally; red, which is more suitable for overexposed photos; and natural, which works best.
The application allows you to make photos more attractive in a matter of seconds, is distributed free of charge and is great for those who want to perform editing as quickly as possible.
Photo Wonder
At first glance, the application may scare you off with its excessive glamor with an abundance of pink, hearts and teddy bears. But this program can do more than it seems. Here you can retouch photos, apply various effects, and make a collage.
The application can do an indecent amount of things. So, it’s very easy to remove all skin imperfections and make it perfect, make your look more expressive, enlarge your eyes, apply virtual makeup, remove circles under the eyes and much more. In addition, there is a figure or face correction function available, so some parts can be made thinner and others a little fuller. Oddly enough, virtual makeup looks quite real, but you will have to work hard with applying eyeliner and shadows.
Small and not very small skin imperfections can be easily removed with a special tool that compares problem areas on the face with skin tone. The resulting perfect shot can be further edited using various filters: portrait, landscape, artistic, etc. You can also add some accessories and decorate yourself in the photo with glasses or a tie.
This app can make a photo look much better right after you download it. Almost all the main functions that are present in the previous program are retained, but there are a few special features. There is a function here that allows you to add sparkle to your eyes: you can adjust the size and shine of the highlights that will be added to the eyes. By adjusting the settings, you can either simply liven up your look or get a real anime character.
The skin retouching function works great, and in addition, you can use all kinds of frames, stickers, and pictures that can decorate the photo.
An application for those who are not afraid to work with Chinese applications. However, this is not difficult to do, since all the icons here look clear, and knowledge of hieroglyphs is not useful. The program offers a huge number of filters that are soft and natural. With their help, you can edit a photo quite well, change the color of your lips or eyes, and it will all look natural. At your service are correction of skin imperfections, blurring, and the ability to make signatures.
Probably only the lazy have not heard of the social network Instagram. There are a huge number of photos here, and accordingly, there are more than enough filters of all kinds. This is where most people prefer to edit their photos, and for those who are not yet familiar with the capabilities of this social network, information is provided below.
It was Instagram that served as the starting point for the development of all filter applications. Indeed, there are a lot of settings, filters and possibilities here, and they allow you to deeply edit your photo, improving its quality. It is impossible to list the capabilities of all filters, but, for example, Amaro is able to brighten a photo, due to which minor imperfections and circles under the eyes are removed, sharpness is increased, and the photo becomes more attractive. Another filter, Rise, brings warm shades to the photo, emphasizes the eyes, and pleasantly redds the hair. In addition, there are a lot of other filters, blur, and numerous frames. There are already whole stories about Instagram makeup on the Internet, professional photographers are actively laughing at it, but still portraits taken in such a magical way continue to captivate many, and even those who are well aware of all such filters.
The enormous popularity of the iPhone and iPad is pushing programmers to develop new photo editing applications with a wide range of functions, filters and all kinds of effects. They help not only to create better pictures, but also to easily process frames that need adjustments. MacDigger offers a selection of the best mobile photo editing apps for iPhone.
Repix
In Repix, you have basic adjustments to the main parameters (brightness, contrast, saturation, and everything else like that), and the procedure itself is carried out according to a principle completely similar to that in other applications. Simply swipe from left to right to change the selected value, and a list of all categories is presented with clear icons.
The program is easy and pleasant to use, so before saving or exporting, all that remains is to add frames and perform the much-needed cropping operation into a classic square shape. Repix won’t ask for anything for a brief introduction to the main features, but it makes full use of the currently popular in app purchase model. In particular, you will have to pay for access to the most interesting and “highly artistic” brushes that add color reflections and effects (halo, bokeh, etc.). You can download Repix from the App Store.
Photogene2
Photogene2 for iPhone is a smartphone version of the fairly popular photo editor Photogene for iPad. The rich functionality of the program will undoubtedly appeal to owners of Apple gadgets. For example, presets (that is, preset settings), unlike other mobile photo editors from the top 5, exist here not only for retro effects, but also for other settings. For example, you can make a landscape “warmer”, as if it was taken at sunset, or turn a daytime photo into a night one using one button. This will make life easier for those who process a large number of images in the same way.
Photogene also has tools for retouching (retouche) - brushes with correction of minor defects (healing brush), red eyes, cloning brush and even an effect brush - you can use it if you want to apply some effect not to the entire image, but only to a part of it. It’s not very convenient to work with brushes on a smartphone screen; it’s a different matter on an iPad. But if you get used to it, you can do it on an Apple phone. Moreover, the image can be zoomed at least up to 1000%. The application is available in and costs 33 rubles.
Mextures
Mextures captivates primarily with the variety and unusualness of its filters. The program includes Davis textures and provides the ability to apply light spots and gradients. The app offers hundreds of different photo editing options. Most filters are virtual versions of the real effects produced by chemical processing. You can download Mextures (RUB 66).
VSCO Cam
VSCO Cam can get the most out of your photos. If you want your photos to look as flawless as the new iOS 7, VSCO Cam is the way to go. A rich selection of filters along with customizable editing tools will turn your amateur photos into almost professional works. The filters themselves are barely noticeable in the final frames. Pleasure .
Afterlight
The AfterLight app has an extensive range of photo tools, with neat filters standing out. The program is implemented very well and promotes an integrated approach to photography. Using the built-in camera, you can take a photo, then process it with numerous tools, and complete the process by saving or publishing it on a social network.
Image processing tools are divided into 5 categories: manual color adjustment, color filters, films, cropping and rotation, frames and masks. You can manually adjust the level of clarity, brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, and bright tones. The slider adjusts the value in the range from -100 to 100. Filters in AfterLight are divided into “original” and “guest”. They are quite diverse and, very importantly, gentle. That is, the image after processing is slightly transformed, and does not become something flashy in HDR. The application costs .
Snapseed
The secret of Snapseed’s success is the ideal combination of the most simply and efficiently implemented basic “serious” tools (color correction, spot adjustment, cropping, sharpening, etc.) and “pampering” - artistic b/w, retro filters, pseudo-HDR , aging and frames. The interface and method of managing tools in the application were developed specifically for touch devices and are extremely easy to use. After opening a photo for editing, you need to select a tool - for example, image adjustment. After this, all editing is carried out by moving your finger up and down on the screen (so we select what exactly to adjust - brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.) and left and right (select the desired parameter value). The app can be downloaded for free from .
Tangent
Tangent's photographic functions can be roughly divided into three groups: color, circles and stripes. With the first ones, everything is very obvious: with two clicks you can give the picture a dirty yellow hipster look and proudly post it on all the social networks you can touch. As for the geometric functions of the application, in addition to the obvious squares and circles, the picture can be decorated with a huge plus, some kind of broken glass, chemical bubbles and about 40 other different shapes. All of the above also applies to the last category - “stripes”: except that there are even more options for decoration (or deformation - depending on your sense of style). The result can be immediately uploaded to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Tangent costs 66 rubles and is available.
Pixlr Express Plus
Pixlr Express Plus from Autodesk is an excellent program for quickly and easily editing photos. The program contains more than 20 image editing tools, as well as more than 200 filters, 300 overlay effects and 100 frames. The editor allows you to quickly crop, resize, correct any photos, remove red eyes, whiten teeth, etc. For all its advantages, the program is distributed free of charge. .
PicsPlay Pro
PicsPlay Pro is one of the best photo editors for mobile devices. The user has 200 ready-made settings at his disposal, divided into 10 groups, which will help him quickly and easily adjust the image. The program contains a huge number of functions for processing photographs and just images you like. Change in real time everything you want to create, if not a masterpiece, then just a wonderful library of photographs and drawings that are pleasant to show to friends and family. The application is possible.
Photo Editor by Aviary
Photo Editor by Aviary is a free photo editing application. In addition to the typical functions of a mobile photo editor, it has various fun effects - for example, you can add a funny mustache to a portrait. The application has a fairly simple interface and rich functionality. The range of functions can be expanded through add-ons downloaded from the application itself - both paid and free. However, it seems to us that when working with Aviary, you can get by just fine with the free collection.
Separately, I would like to note the mode for highlighting color in a photo - the entire photo becomes black and white and you can manually select the area in which the color will appear. Moreover, in the “smart color” mode, the program itself helps not to go beyond the boundaries of the desired area. The application is distributed.
Luminance
Luminance is a classic image editor with lots of effects, several unique features and an attractive design. The program allows you to quickly and easily edit your photo and apply filters. The application interface deserves special attention; it is immediately clear that a professional team of designers participated in the development of the program.
In Luminance you will find a large number of different effects (18 pieces), which can be applied sequentially, getting even more interesting photos. The great advantage of the application is the highly accurate and varied filter settings. Luminance contains basic image editing tools: rotation and cropping. The utility has all the functions necessary for a standard graphics editor on iOS, but the main emphasis in the application is on the number and accuracy of setting various filters and effects. You can download Luminance from the App Store.
Adobe Photoshop Express
Don't expect "desktop" Photoshop, much less free Photoshop, to appear on mobile phones anytime soon. However, the famous name certainly attracts attention. The Adobe Photoshop Express application turned out to be quite good: a clear interface, simple but popular functions, an “auto-enhance” button.
Some effects, such as brightness and contrast, can be edited simultaneously: moving your finger across the screen changes one effect vertically, and another horizontally. This saves a lot of time and generally allows you to achieve the desired effect almost immediately. A particularly convenient pair of settings is “white tint-temperature” (Tint-Temperature). The application has many modules that can be downloaded additionally, but you can do without them just fine. Adobe Photoshop Express can be downloaded for free from .
Filterstorm
Filterstorm does everything a picky photographer needs - that's why it's not cheap. In addition to the brightness, contrast, and color settings that are quite typical for mobile photo editors, the program allows you to work with layers - just like in “desktop” Photoshop.
In addition, Filterstorm has the ability to add Watermarks to photos. In general, there are probably no fewer different settings in the program than in a regular “desktop” graphics editor (there is even a noise reduction). But you have to pay for this with a rather overloaded interface, which may be too complex for a beginner. Filterstorm is the most expensive application in our selection, but its price includes all possible add-ons. The program costs 129 rubles.
As indicated in the description of iPhone Photography School, the Snapseed application offers tools for photo processing, including for, color, sharpening, cropping, etc. There is also a wide selection of filters that will allow you to turn a color photo into black and white, apply textures, add and improve the “mood” of the photo.
VSCO
This program can function as a camera application and a platform for sharing footage. In addition, VSCO has a wide range of filters and editing tools. Unlike other similar applications, VSCO presets allow you to emulate classic and modern film. Many of the filters allow you to give your photos the faded, softer look that's now gaining popularity on Instagram.
Filterstorm Neue
In addition to the typical editing tools, the Filterstorm Neue app includes the best mobile implementation of the powerful Curves editor for adjusting brightness and contrast. A distinctive feature of the application is the ability to make selective adjustments using a number of tools. If you want to push the limits of editing on your iPhone, Filterstorm Neue fits the bill.
Enlight
Enlight has a wide range of basic and advanced editing options, as well as an assortment of fancy effects that can be used to make your photos more interesting and creative. This program contains a huge number of functions, which will take some time to become familiar with, but each tool is intuitive and working with the application will not be difficult.
Mextures
Currently, there are many worthy photo editors, but many masters of mobile photography are among the first to name Mextures. The application offers a wide range of textures, each of which can be adjusted and combined with others. Mextures gives users endless creative options. Currently, this is one of the best apps for creating your own editing style.
TouchRetouch
Today, most photo editors have the ability to remove unwanted elements from a photo, but TouchRetouch is intended exclusively for this purpose. This application is efficient and easy to use. Using a finger, users can select any object or parts of it that need to be disposed of. Next, the application will automatically delete the selection.
SKRWT
Wide-angle lenses, like those on the iPhone, often distort objects in a photo, making them appear elongated or curved. SKRWT helps eliminate these problems. A number of other applications have similar functionality, for example, the above-mentioned Snapped and Enlight, but only SKRWT focuses on this type of editing.
AfterFocus
AfterFocus is a special application with which amateurs can take photographs with a slightly blurred background, indistinguishable from photographs taken with an expensive DSLR camera. To create a blur effect, you just need to select the area of focus with your finger, and the application will automatically “blur” the background. AfterFocus will be an excellent alternative for those who do not have an iPhone 7 Plus, which has a “portrait” mode that allows you to create photos with a bokeh effect (artistic blurring of the background).
Today, in order to get the maximum number of likes on a photo from your subscribers, you should try hard to post a nice photo. The iPhone has an excellent camera and takes excellent pictures, but for a photo to be beautiful on social networks, you need to skillfully process it in a photo editor and you don’t have to be a pro.
The Geek has selected 4 of the best photo editing apps that you can't ignore (especially if you're an avid Instagram user).
Quik
Prisma
The world has seen many applications that are capable of turning photographs into objects of art of this or that time, but few of them do it as quickly and professionally as Prisma. The application is simply easy to use: you need to select a photo and select the painting style in which you want to see your photo. The choice is wide: from Munch's The Scream to a comic book magazine. 
In just a second, your photo will resemble one of Picasso’s creations. If the effect seems too strong for you, reduce its intensity by moving your finger horizontally across the screen.
Snapseed
This application gives you maximum freedom in photo editing. A number of tools and filters will help you make your photo unique and bring the processing closer to professional. Setting up and selecting filters is intuitive - just move your finger across the screen. The application will help you “stretch out” a shadow or add light, make a blur, adjust contrast and brightness, add a “garage” dirty effect or make a vignette. 
The app will also remember your actions and save them on separate layers, so you choose only those that will really make your photo better. Make changes, sand each layer separately until you are ready to save the photo and start new work.
Mixtures
The application is suitable for those who are tired of conventional photo processing and want creativity and bold decisions. It allows you to add textures, lights and shadows to your photos. The user has access to a large set of filters, each of which can be customized and combined with each other. 
It will take time to study each of them, but you definitely won’t have time to get bored with the application and exhaust your imagination.
