the iPhone 4 4 s and iPhone 5 I'll take great pictures out of the box but not every picture turns out exactly as you were hoping I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and these are the best photo editing apps for the iPhone the iPhone 5s camera is regarded as one of the best smartphone cameras around Nokia's Lumia 920 may win in low-light performance and a handful of newer smartphones carry a higher resolution sensor but the iPhone consistently captures accurate well balanced shots however not every picture turns out as intended maybe the lighting was off or the image needs a little saturation or color boost the stock photos application on iOS comes with a lightweight editor inside that offers a quick auto fix crop rotation and redeye fix but its capabilities are quite slim in the App Store there are thousands of photo editing applications that offer all sorts of additional features for those looking for an endless array of effects and filters your one-stop shop is FX photo studio other than the really cool homepage it has a ton of different effects filters and frames that could be applied to your photos after you choose a photo and before you edit you can crop it for Instagram once you're in the edit mode you can make the usual adjustments add text or hit the FX button for a total of a hundred and eighty-nine different effects which can be used in conjunction with one another meaning the possibilities are virtually endless and if you don't feel like going through the very long list of effects you can simply hit the dice button in the upper right corner to choose a random effect and you can keep rolling until you find the perfect filter currently FX photo studio is free with in-app purchases that unlock more effects but the app store description notes that it will go back to page soon Snapseed is one of our all-time favorite photo editors both on iOS and Android it's great for super quick edits or more in-depth tweaks snap C comes with its own selection of filters frames and effects but there are two features in particular that make snap seat so great the tuned image feature and selectively adjust the tuned image feature has five basic categories brightness ambience contrast saturation and white balance slide your finger up and down to scroll and select one sliding your finger left and right adjusts that element of the image selectively adjusts is similar but it limits the adjustments to bright this contrast or saturation and those are only applied to the specified area of the photo it's quick and easy to use but it offers one of the best user experiences for photo editing we've seen to date that could be why Google purchased the creator's Nik software and added some of Snapseed features to the Google+ application Snapseed is now completely free another photo editing app that is quick and simple to use with a ton of features is aviary as soon as you choose a photo it's down to business there's a quick enhancement feature which lets you apply automatic adjustments for sharpness brightness or a color fix there are a ton of filters to choose from as well and more can be purchased from within the app there are also frames and stickers that come pre-loaded and there are paid add-ons for more of those as well it has the option to add text apply a teeth whitening effect red-eye fix and even a blemish fix it also has your typical photo adjustments such as shortness temperature saturation contrast etc our favorite feature of aviary is the meme creator best of all aviary is free another application worth mentioning is Pickler Express plus it has almost the exact same features as aviary and Snapseed simply with a different interface and UX it's free as well so it's definitely worth a download now for the more serious photo editors Photoshop Touch is by and large the most in-depth photo editor on a mobile platform it features essentially everything mentioned in all of the applications above and much much more filters texts and all the usual adjustments such as saturation contrast brightness etc but it also has the ability to replace a color reduce noise at a fill or gradient warp or add multiple layers to a single image and has a smudge tool a clone tool and best of all the scribble selection tool which allows you to drop out the background of an image with ease for any extensive editing Photoshop Touch is definitely the way to go however it's one of the more expensive photo editors for iPhone at $4.99 lastly iPhoto it lies somewhere between Photoshop Touch and Snapseed the app itself looks great and it packs a ton of features we've already talked about but unlike Snapseed it takes a lot of getting used to and it has one of the most confusing interfaces and user experiences but once you learn it it's a powerful tool for ending photos via mobile best part of this app is what it can do with the photos after you finish editing them you can create a journal and share and sync it with iCloud iPhoto is also $4.99 in the App Store and it's also worth mentioning that it's a hundred and fifty one megabytes versus the 20 to 30 megabytes of the other applications that's gonna do it for this video but if we miss one of your favorite applications be sure to drop it in the comments below click the like and subscribe button if you found the video
