If you don’t like how it looks, you can reset your adjustments or revert to your original shot.Īpple Photos syncs everything with the iCloud, and does a great job of organising your photos, which is particularly useful if you have a ton of them spread across different i-devices. Then, when you’ve made an edit, you can judge it against the original by clicking Compare. As well as cropping your images, you can edit and enhance them using controls including brightness, contrast, saturation, white balance, curves, levels and vignette. With the kind of clean and minimal interface you expect from Apple, this app is aimed at general consumers and is suitably easy to use. And if you give it a try, you may find it provides everything you need, especially if you’re a beginner or just want to make a few basic edits to your photos.

If you have a Mac then you already have Apple Photos installed.

And as the name suggests, this lightweight app works quickly and efficiently, so you may even prefer it to the full-bodied Photoshop if you just need to make a few tweaks. But it does feature a pretty decent set of tools for basic image editing. It doesn’t replicate everything in Photoshop nowhere near, in fact. Blur, fade, vignette, spot heal and red-eye removal tools are also at your fingertips. You can also add filters fine-tune Exposure, Highlights and Shadows and tweak things further with tools including Sharpen, Reduce Luminance Noise, and Reduce Color Noise.

Photoshop Express allows you to crop your images and enhance them using slider-based controls such as contrast, clarity, saturation, vibrance and dehaze. All you need is an Adobe ID, which is free to create and only takes a couple of moments. And not only is this available for mobile platforms, but there’s a version for PCs too, which you can download from the Windows Store. Given how expensive a Photoshop subscription is, you may be surprised that a number of its features are available in a free app called Photoshop Express.
