One of the best things about taking pictures with an iPhone is that you can edit them right away on the same device, which is really convenient. Novice photographers may find it tempting to utilize every editing program they come across and apply them to every picture. I promise that this will not end nicely!

Actually, there are a lot more considerations than just installing apps. Although we will discuss and recommend several apps, the main goal of this guide is to get you thinking about every facet of editing photos on your iPhone, from shooting the picture to backing it up.

Prioritize Taking Excellent Pictures.

A poor photograph cannot be improved with editing. When it comes to iPhone photography, I always advise beginners to focus on taking quality images before dabbling too much with post-processing.

Developing your photography eye is essential if you want to have high-quality images for editing. Study exposure, light, color, and composition. Take as many pictures as you can, experimenting with various themes, settings, and original concepts.

While you're working on getting better at photography, you may still experiment with editing programs, of course, but you'll soon find that the more you practice, the better the editing results will be.

Arrange Your Editing

Before you begin working on your image, you should ideally aim to have a concept of what the end edit should look like. Then, identify the programs you'll need to realize your vision.

Does the color or exposure need to be changed? Does the picture require cropping? Would it look well in monochrome? Would you like to eliminate any obtrusive components from the picture? Could you apply some painterly effect or texture to make it better? Would a gloomy vignette aid in drawing attention to the image's focal points?

Locate A Reputable All-Round Editing App

One great resource is the App Store. Thousands of apps exist for editing photos, and many of them may be downloaded for free. Most of them are either "one trick ponies" or simply not very talented, which is the issue. Many novices make the mistake of downloading hundreds of apps, at which point they become completely perplexed about which ones to utilize.

It's far preferable to limit yourself to a few excellent apps. Ideally, your library should include at least one comprehensive, all-around photo editing program. With everything from default filters to specialized editing tools, this will be your go-to editor for most editing tasks.

Make Use Of A Few Niche Apps

You might start searching for more specialist programs that fit your editing approach as you begin to identify your own editing aesthetic. As previously said, thousands of possibilities are available, and the selection process might be daunting.

In this situation, iPhone Photography School can be a very helpful tool. We often add tutorials, reviews of new apps, and interviews with iPhone photographers who are more than eager to suggest apps to our readers.

Use Lenslight ($2.99), Alien Sky ($2.99), Juxtaposer ($2.99), Distressed FX ($0.99), and Mextures ($1.99) to add lighting effects, textures, and other special effects to my images since I prefer to go for a bit surreal or over-the-top style.

Create A Well-Ordered Workflow

When you first start using editing apps, you'll probably utilize the first programs that come to mind, in whatever order they come to mind. If you do wind up with an edit you like, it will be hard for you to remember the procedures involved because this can produce a highly disconnected style.

After determining which applications are useful to you, you should consider your workflow or the sequence in which you utilize them. For instance, adjust exposure first, then crop and straighten as needed, eliminate any distracting elements, convert to black and white, and finally add a vignette.

Don't Use Filters Too Much

Many of the rudimentary photo editing programs only include a limited number of controllable filters. If you frequently use these kinds of apps, your images will eventually appear and feel exactly like every other shot that has been altered with those programs.

Utilizing apps with adjustable filters—like Snapseed, Picture Resizer, PhotoToaster, Camera+, and VSCO Cam—that let you change the strength of the filters and even mix multiple filters is considerably preferable.

Try reducing the intensity of the filter every time you apply one until you get the ideal result for that particular picture. Using filters with excessive power can frequently distort a picture.

Save a copy and organize your edits.

When you edit your photos, you end up with a lot more images in your camera roll—especially if you alter the same image multiple times. Before you know it, your phone is overflowing with pictures and you have no idea how to access a certain picture. In addition, if you don't have a backup copy of your images, you'll lose them all if you misplace your iPhone.

Conclusion

Without a question, using the iPhone for photo editing can significantly enhance your photos, but you must first make sure that the subject matter, lighting, exposure, and composition of your first shot are all good. Thus, make an effort to get these details correct when filming. You will have a far higher probability of producing a fantastic edit in this approach.
