Coming back from a photoshoot or a long trip where tons of photos were taken is sometimes a moment not many look forward to. The idea of spending hours and hours selecting and editing your photos is frightening and the work can be extremely time-consuming. Which is why we want to share a collection of ten amazing apps that can make your photographic life a lot easier.
Adobe Lightroom
Usually you pay for a membership in the Adobe Creative Cloud, which makes Adobe Lightroom on your iPhone an absolute bargain. It’s free, and one of the most complete apps to edit photographs on your smartphone. It might take some time getting used to, but Lightroom mobile makes everything possible that a laptop can do, and once you master its color correction, everything you shot comes to life.
VSCO
VSCO is well known for its great number of available filters that can make your photos pop in the blink of an eye. Its platform is very user friendly and easy to handle, even for unexperienced editors. It is free to an extent, but its affordable membership makes it a must-have for every photography lover.
Snapseed
Talking about apps that are easy to use, Snapseed provides all the basic editing services one needs, made simple and easy to understand. It does have a small number of filters you can apply, but its strength lies in light correction, cropping, expanding and retouching minor obstacles from your photos.
Unfold
In a world where social media takes a very important role of our daily life, unfold turns simple posts and stories into something truly special. With over 400 templates, fonts, stickers and design tools, this app will make your Instagram or Facebook content stand out.
While Instagram might be the biggest Photo app on the market, Pinterest still keeps many of us connected through inspiration. A feed that remembers your taste in photos helps finding ideas for upcoming photoshoots, trips, house designs or even tattoos.
Lomograph
For all those who love a film look on photos, but don’t own a film camera, Lomograph is the one and only choice. It has a vast number of stunning filters, that give that vintage feeling to any shot taken. It also allows you to avoid annoying memberships and offers a onetime payment for access to all filters, which is absolutely worth the money.
Glitch Art
For some special effects, like those of a VHS or an old camera, Glitch Art makes a really good job. As the name suggests, its filters and effects are based on glitches that also make your photos blurry in a stylish way.
Picsart
Another photo editing allrounder that is very competent in the way it handles photos from either cameras or iPhones. Its convincing background effects also make it a must-have for lovers of the supernatural.
1998 Cam – Vintage Camera
Like Lomograph, this app provides amazing vintage filters to slap on your photos in a second and make them look straight out of an old film camera. Having both 1998 Cam and Lomograph is the perfect combination for old style lovers.
ProCamera
This app is the only one on this list that you must purchase from the start but is totally worth the buy. ProCamera turns your iPhone into a manual camera with great features, that, in combination with a good phone lens makes a huge difference in your daily photography and can help you start understanding the basics before turning to a professional camera.
