Editing on a Phone: The Evolution of a Camera Phone Photo

So, are you using the camera on your phone?

The most-used camera apps on my iPhone are Instagram and 100 Cameras in 1, but I also use Best Camera, Camera Bag, ColorSplash, Diptic, Shake It Photo, Hipstamatic, Labelbox, MoreNoel, and Adobe Photoshop Express.

Here’s my camera phone “workflow” for a few photos (Instagram and 100 Cameras in 1 crop photos in a square).

This last one was a little more complicated. My daughter looked so cute, but I wanted to cover her poison ivy. First, I ran the “when I was dirty and you laughed” filter (LOVE the filter names) in 100 Cameras in 1, which lightened the exposure. It’s the first filter I use if I want to brighten a phone photo. Next I added the “it was never quite like that” filter, which converted to black in white. In Instagram, I cropped it in tighter and used an even higher contrast B&W filter, making the lights lighter and the darks darker.

What are your favorite camera phone apps?

Thanks, Dawn. I do use some of these, but not 100 Cameras in 1. Looks interesting and I think I’ll be downloading that one. 😀

Dianne, you’ll love it. That one filter that lightens exposure would be worth it alone. You’ll have to go through and check out all the filter names. They’re really good!
