Photo Editors On The Fly!

I've had a lot of cooking "crafts" lately, and its time for a change. Here is the start of my playing around with my iphone photo editing apps. It all started when I got a free snapseed app at Starbucks a few months ago, but never tried using it till my co worker showed me that it actually worked pretty well. On top of that last night I came home to an amazing sunset that just had to be captured via my dslr, peter's camera phone, and my iphone camera!

I then processed it through snapseed and instagram since I already had it on my phone

Snapseed (also first attempt processing anything on my phone)
I'm pretty happy how the first attempt at processing a picture on my phone came out, plus snapseed doesnt force you to share your photos, and just hitting save saves to your phone's photo library instead of getting stuck inside the app. This was my top pick, but quite pricey if it hadnt been free from starbucks.

Instagram - which i'm sure everyone has heard of unless they live under a rock. Since I didnt want to share the photo with the world my photo just got saved to the app, and now i cannot figure out how to go back and get it off my phone since it doesnt seem to let me retroactively share a photo, so you dont get to see the decent processing instagram did. This app probably gets my lowest rating since i'm not using it for social networking.

I then began googling best iphone photo editing apps and came across camera+ for a low 99 cents so I splurged and bought it. This app was fairly easy to use and offered a bunch of fun effects. I was less happy with the set borders that could be applied though.

Next I tried Adobe Photoshop Lite since I know it works pretty well for real photos on the computer. The processing options were limited, or you could pay extra for addtional effects.

Lastly I played with one called Camera Awesomeness but the app tried too hard to be funny so that took away points, plus I wasnt happy with the final product from this app, so I wont show that picture


While I'm add it, I'll add that I also love ColorSplash. Not quite the same, but a cool effect anyway where you can turn your photo black and white and selectively bring color back in.

Has anyone else played with iphone photo editors? if so what did you think?
