The arrival of Adobe Photoshop to the iOS environment in full version is about to be produced. But while we wait to have the powerful tool on our devices, we will have to continue using the powerful applications available on the App Store. With each one of them we will carry out a specific task and we will be able to make up for the lack of certain functions in each app.
In this article we show you the 3 photo editing apps popular of the moment. Although some will be paid, we guarantee that their use is more than recommended if we want to obtain incredible results from the palm of our hand.
Darkroom
This application with a quite striking lake with neon lights is essential for those photos that we want to edit in block, that is, we can edit several photos in the same way to export them later. In addition, it supports RAW format and exports in TIFF and PNG (if we want the images uncompressed) or in a compressed way using JPEG that we can modify the compression between 100, 95 or 80%.
I would choose this application to edit large images (supports images up to 120 megapixels). Though does not have great internal content yet, It is a good option to retouch images in a simple way, for a good price: free.
Pixelmator
It is the application par excellence in iOS, at least until Photoshop is officially presented. It has a large number of tools and functions that allow you to modify images, especially to technical and creative level. It is interesting the way in which we are allowed to modify the color curves and the level of brightness and contrast, in addition to the powerful color corrector in situations where we do not have vivid colors or those expected in a specific shot.
It also allows you to work by layers which allows not to modify the original image completely, and to be able to overlap different elements or effects to obtain a much more realistic result. It is a good asset for your iPad for just 5,49 euros.
Enlight
Although I could recommend the whole range Enlight Within the App Store made up of Photofox, Quickshot and Videoleap, I am going to tell you about the official app whose name has the same name as the suite. Enlight is an application that focuses primarily on creative customization of shots made, in the creative composition and in the impressive effects that we have inside the application. With numerous awards, Enligth is one of the quintessential photo editing apps.
Inside we find plenty of clipping, analog and digital filters, preset controls and tone editor, etc. We also have the tool tilt-shift, that allows us to modify the focus of the elements of the composition. Also interesting is the working capacity that it is able to support in the different Apple products.
