With smartphone cameras becoming so advanced over the years, getting the perfect shot now has become as easy as a Sunday morning. And with some additional editing, you are ready to post a beautiful picture for your Instagram followers and your Twitter “peeps”. So, I love photography and I think smartphone cameras are the best tool to capture a moment I deem memorable instantly with a click of an on-screen shutter button.

Now, keep in mind, I use an iPhone and as the “Photos” app of iOS offers so many editing options, more often than not I end up using Photos’  in-app editor. However, there are two apps that I use to edit my photos nowadays. And one of them is more like a productivity-cum-photo-editing-app.

InShot

This VivaVideo-like app is one of the most common video editing apps in the market. I have seen many social media influencers post videos with that “InShot” watermark at the bottom. Now, although it is more commonly used as a video editing tool, turns out the photo-editing side of the app is not at all bad.

 

Skitch

So, this is the productivity-cum-photo-editing-app which I told you about earlier. Skitch is not a photo editing app, per se, it is essentially an annotation app, developed by the same developers who created the popular note-taking app, Evernote. 

So, if you are someone who needs to annotate images in a quick and easy way, then you are going to love this app just as much as I do.

Apps Which I Use to Capture My Pictures

Now, let’s move on to the apps that add live filters to my pictures in real-time as I capture them.

This is one of those apps that become your go-to camera app whenever you click a picture. It happened with me after using this app and for many days after I found this app, I was clicking pictures of random things using the unique live filters.

I have written a dedicated article about this one before, which I think you should definitely check out to know all about this amazing app.

After a lot of anticipation since last year, Adobe finally launched a preview of its AI-powered mobile camera app, Adobe Photoshop Camera recently. Since the launch of the preview, I have been using the app to click some of the most unusual selfies with its unique live filters.

Moreover, there are filters in this app that can bring the Milky Way galaxy right above your house or turn a gloomy gray sky into a bright blue one. And all these filters are powered by a machine learning algorithm and works in real-time.

So yeah, these were some of the apps I use to get the most out of my smartphone camera and the pictures it captures.
