I also really like that in most cases they give you both the parenthetical and narrative version of the citation for within the body of your work. I also like that you can create folders, so you can separate the citations however you see fit.

Our customer support team is here to find the solution that helps you the most, whether that’s a free new edit or a refund for the service.

Yes, in the order process you can indicate your preference for American, British, or Australian English .

If you don’t choose one, your editor will follow the style of English you currently use. If your editor has any questions about this, we will contact you.

Yes, you can upload your document in sections.

We try our best to ensure that the same editor checks all the different sections of your document. When you upload a new file, our system recognizes you as a returning customer, and we immediately contact the editor who helped you before.

However, we cannot guarantee that the same editor will be available. Your chances are higher if

  • You send us your text as soon as possible and
  • You can be flexible about the deadline.

Please note that the shorter your deadline is, the lower the chance that your previous editor is not available.

If your previous editor isn’t available, then we will inform you immediately and look for another qualified editor. Fear not! Every Scribbr editor follows the  Scribbr Improvement Model  and will deliver high-quality work.

Yes, our editors also work during the weekends and holidays.

Because we have many editors available, we can check your document 24 hours per day and 7 days per week, all year round.

If you choose a 72 hour deadline and upload your document on a Thursday evening, you’ll have your thesis back by Sunday evening!

When you place an order, you can specify your field of study and we’ll match you with an editor who has familiarity with this area.

However, our editors are language specialists, not academic experts in your field. Your editor’s job is not to comment on the content of your dissertation, but to improve your language and help you express your ideas as clearly and fluently as possible.

This means that your editor will understand your text well enough to give feedback on its clarity, logic and structure, but not on the accuracy or originality of its content.

Good academic writing should be understandable to a non-expert reader, and we believe that academic editing is a discipline in itself. The research, ideas and arguments are all yours – we’re here to make sure they shine!

At its most basic, editing is the benefit of another set of eyes.

Attentive editing refines your compositions so that your research reaches the right audiences—and so that you experience the relief and accomplishment that result from completing writing projects.

I am a Chicago-trained academic editor with years of experience.

Please peruse my menu of services , which are designed to support a variety of writing projects at any stage, from brainstorming to final polishing.

katiefffeeb

I’m Katie Van Heest, PhD , the editor behind Tweed Academic Editing . My ambition is simple: to advance scholarship. To that end, I make academic writing polished, presentable, and professional .

Scholarship matters . . . but much of it stagnates before it sees the light of day. I refine scholarly writing in order to optimize its value in the academy and broader culture.

My academic credentials allow me to think critically about your project, and I have the editing chops to smooth your style and scaffold your ideas. I obsess about grammar, mechanics, argument, formatting, and consistency so that you can focus on generating your scholarly contribution.

Get Over Your Ex by Cutting Them out of Your Photos

Rating your photos

  • Assess and iterate. You’ll get the most out of editing your photos if you have a specific idea of what needs to be fixed, retouched or tampered with. There’s plenty of time to play around with each photo to tweak the specific details, but you might get lost without at least some sense of what needs to be changed. How’s the light? The color? Maybe you have one stubborn pimple that needs to be brushed over? Is the background underexposed?

Image

  • Workshop the crop. Cropping is the best way to start. Ask yourself-- what sort of dimensions are you looking for in your photo? Does the background add or detract? Does the top of your head have room to breathe? Play around a little with straightening and cropping until you figure out what works best.

Light

  • Subtlety is key in color corrections. Finally you should take a second to make sure the white balance, the color of the photo, is just the way you like it. The best practice here is to make the color look as close to the actual light in which it was taken as possible. If you go overboard with the warmth or with highly stylized colors you may lose some of the timeless appeal of a graduation photo.
  • Run wild. Don’t be afraid to play around. Adobe Lightroom has many different techniques to make your graduation photos exactly what you want them to be. Spend some playing around with new functions. Brushes will help you retouch specific parts of your photo. For example, maybe the background becomes overexposed when your face exposure is just right; you can use a brush to target exposure to specific regions of the photo. Pretty much any adjustment you want to make can be found in either Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop. So have fun with it!
  • Rinse and repeat. Finally, you’ve done everything you can possibly do for your photo, and now you get to use one of my favorite Adobe Lightroom functions. Click the three dots on the right side of the screen and copy the edit settings of your photo, then paste them on any photo you think has similar editing needs. Or simply use the keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste. You can also copy some of the edit settings, while leaving others behind. Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all in photo editing, so you still may have to make some adjustments. Hopefully this feature will allow you to batch edit more efficiently.
  • Bask in your own beauty and accomplishments. You're a graduate! You look amazing! You edit your own photos! What can’t you do? Congratulations and happy editing!

Can AI create the perfect photo? How to use powerful editing tools to enhance and overhaul iPhone pictures

Thanks to AI image generators, the most brilliant and absurd images can now be created in seconds with a simple text prompt. 

Ever wondered what a giant red panda riding a mongoose into a sunset might look like? Well, you don't have to leave it to the imagination, just take a look at the image below:

If you've kept an eye on AI developments over the past year, you're likely aware of the buzz around image generators like DALL·E 3, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion. They've stirred up their share of controversies, from copyright concerns to deepfake implications, and even fears about the future of the creative industries.

However, if we step away from these headline-dominating, potentially society-altering AI tools, we discover a whole other world of AI applications. These don't conjure new images from thin air but rather empower you to edit your own photos effortlessly. But where exactly do you find these AI editing tools, and more importantly, do they really make your photos better?

What are AI photo editing tools and what can they do?

Editing tools that use some sort of AI to enhance your images aren’t new. For example, Adobe’s Photoshop Content Aware Fill, filling gaps on a canvas or over imperfections based on the surrounding image data, has been around for years. It allows you to remove an unwanted element – say, a dog photobombing your perfect beach sunset shot – and seamlessly fill in the gap with the surrounding scenery, like sand and sea, making it look as though your new furry friend was never there.

But recent advances in AI have revolutionized photo editing, with a growing number of apps and software programs now incorporating smart tools similar to, even exceeding the capabilities of, Content Aware Fill. These require minimal editing skills and take little time to use.

While these AI tools don't create images from scratch like DALL·E 3 (yes, the one behind our red panda on a mongoose image), they're incredibly handy for tasks such as adjusting lighting, smoothing skin, or conjuring up new backgrounds and objects.

You'll find these AI wonders in many apps, catering to everything from sprucing up selfies to more sophisticated tasks, like social media content creation, professional photography, product shots, or advertising campaigns.

Now, we're using 'AI' a bit broadly here, as is the norm these days. It implies some form of artificial intelligence at work, but its functionality varies. For example, Photoshop employs generative AI, which can create new outputs (like texts or images) based on learned patterns and features. It 'knows' what a wall looks like because it's been trained on numerous wall images. Other tools might use simpler algorithms for tasks like identifying blurry areas in a photo and suggesting fixes.

Although AI is a broad term, it's become a widely accepted catch-all in many areas, especially in image editing. It typically refers to using an AI tool for smarter, automated tasks that would otherwise require professional expertise.

Does AI make photos better?

Is AI making our photos better? For many purposes, the answer is a resounding yes, especially for specific tasks. Let’s dive into some of the coolest AI photo editing features available in top apps today. 

These tools can sharpen blurry images, remove or add backgrounds, isolate subjects, enhance lighting uniformly, tweak facial features (like smoothing skin and brightening eyes), colorize black and white photos, and even suggest optimal edits based on the photo type.

Using a decent app makes photo editing not just easy, but also fun. It’s great for selfies, of course, but the benefits extend to professional work as well. For pros, tasks like manually cutting out objects or choosing new backgrounds with realistic lighting can be time-consuming. AI streamlines these processes, enhancing workflow and reducing headaches.

Now, let's dive into the latest and greatest in AI tools offered by popular apps. They're incredibly fun to explore but do warrant a thoughtful approach. My current favorite? The Generative Expand and Fill features in Photoshop.

These features harness the power of generative AI technology. In essence, when you provide a text prompt, Photoshop taps into its extensive knowledge base to generate a visual interpretation that closely aligns with your request. It's like having a digital artist at your fingertips, ready to transform your ideas into visual realities.

Take the portrait of me above the 'Does AI make photos better?' heading. I upload it to Photoshop, expand the crop, and instead of being left with white space, I can add a text prompt like 'in a bright co-working space wearing a futuristic black outfit.' The results, as you can see in the image above, are impressive for something that takes just 30 seconds.

This tech is great for headshots, mock-ups, spicing up selfies, or just for fun – like the 'engineering room of a spaceship from the future' image at the top of this article. The angles, lighting, and color palette look believable. But perfect? That’s up for debate.

Consider another example below with the prompt 'on a yacht sailing in the sea.' Someone with editing skills could refine it further, but for a novice like me, the outcome is decent, albeit a bit eerie.

So adding new elements to an image is one thing; ensuring alignment, realistic lighting, and a natural look is another. 

This applies to my experiments with Generative Fill above, but I also find this applies to selfies too sometimes. The changes can look real, but go overboard with skin smoothing or eye brightening, and there’s an unsettling 'uncanny valley' effect.

Which AI photo tools are the best?

In the world of image editing and even on social media platforms, especially those focused on selfies (I'm looking at you, TikTok), AI is quietly at work. Some apps may not heavily promote their AI features, while others boast them as their unique selling point.

But certain tools excel in specific areas. Take Facetune, for example. It's fantastic for subtle selfie enhancements – although remember, moderation is key. It suggests optimal adjustments, some of which look incredibly natural. Lensa is another top choice in this category.

Then there's Canva, primarily a design app, which boasts AI features like background removal. It's also recently launched Magic Design. Input a brief, like ‘Instagram post for a beach holiday travel company,’ add a relevant photo, and it suggests numerous templates and designs. They're not flawless and may need a bit of tweaking, but they're an excellent starting point. Canva also has a generative AI feature for creating images from text prompts – think ‘cat eating birthday cake’ for party invites.

Pixlr is an affordable, user-friendly option with nifty AI tools, including template designs similar to Canva, straightforward object selection and removal, background removal, and batch editing. It’s free with limited features, but a subscription unlocks more.

For those willing to invest time and effort, apps like Luminar Neo shine, especially with AI-powered features like sky replacement, making it a solid choice for editing selfies and portraits. And then, of course, there's Adobe Photoshop – the gold standard in photo editing, packed with advanced AI tools, like the Generative Expand and Generative Fill features I mentioned above, as well as many more. It's not free or the easiest to use, but it offers unparalleled performance and control for those seeking professional-quality results.

Should we use AI to edit our photos?

Deciding whether to use AI photo editing tools really comes down to your objectives and the nature of your photos.

AI image generators have sparked controversy, and there's a growing concern among creative professionals that larger editing tasks traditionally outsourced to experts are now being handled by apps.

The debate extends to the ethics of image editing. How much is standard tweaking, and when does it become potentially harmful manipulation – not just to viewers but also to those who frequently edit their own images? 

Some experts believe that constant exposure to edited faces, especially through highly refined TikTok filters like 'Bold Glamour', could skew our perception of reality. These filters, powered by machine learning and AI, subtly yet significantly alter skin texture and facial features, potentially fueling dissatisfaction with real-life appearances and reinforcing unrealistic beauty standards.

Despite these challenges, it's undeniable that AI-enabled apps can significantly enhance your photos – to an extent. Many common edits are just a tap away. Especially straightforward tasks like smoothing skin or erasing a photobombing dog. If that's all you want to do then today's AI tools are efficient, effective, and enjoyable.

But for miraculous transformations that don't look creepy, you might need to invest in more advanced tools like Photoshop, learn the ropes and remember that when enhancing photos for a natural, believable look, less is more.

This AI Photo Editing App Is a Must-Have: 3 Reasons Why

Luminar Neo unveils a fresh batch of AI features, and we're impressed.

Quick Links

  • Water Enhancer AI
  • Twilight Enhancer AI
  • Object Select AI

How to Get Luminar Neo

Key takeaways.

  • Luminar Neo introduces Water Enhancer AI for quick and precise editing of water in your photos.
  • Twilight Enhancer AI simplifies editing twilight landscapes by allowing you to adjust the sky, scenes, and individual areas.
  • Object Select AI streamlines subject selection for easier and faster editing.

Luminar Neo has always been one step ahead of the photo editing game with its AI features. The Spring 2024 update—which will be available from April 25th, 2024—introduces three must-have AI photo editing features. Let's see what they are.

1. Water Enhancer AI

Ever take a beautiful photo of a waterscape but the color of the water just ruins the shot? Luminar Neo’s AI Water Enhancer can fix that in seconds. The Water Enhancer tool automatically identifies and masks any water in your image, and you can refine the AI selection if required.

Find the Water Enhancer tool under the Landscape edit tools and use it to change the color from dirty brown, dark, or uninteresting to natural hues of blues and greens with luminescent reflections. The Water Enhancer AI tool has six sliders: Amount (strength), Blue, Green, Original Color, Brightness, and Contrast.

Below the main tool are options to refine the mask. Here, you can draw, erase, or restore the masked area, and within that, you can change the size, softness, strength, feathering, and depth of the mask.

This AI tool provides natural and even results that save a ton of time. There are plenty of other ways to use Luminar Neo more effectively to improve your photos .

2. Twilight Enhancer AI

Luminar Neo’s Twilight Enhancer AI tool enhances your twilight landscapes. And it's not just for editing the sky in your twilight photo, it also edits the entire scene to match.

Upload an image to the Catalog and find the Twilight Enhancer tool under the Landscape edit tools. The main tool offers global adjustments and masking, with a choice of five gradient presets. Like with Water Enhancer AI, you can create and refine a masked area if you only want to edit the sky or one part of your photo.

There are also sliders that affect five select areas of your photo, so you can edit parts of your landscape separately, including Sky, Dawn, Scene, Water Reflection, and Mask Refinement.

Skylum has thought of it all with its Twilight Enhancer AI tool. Not only can you create the perfect sky for your scene, but the individual sliders allow you to get the colors, shading, and exposure just right across the board. This tool feels like six tools in one!

3. Object Select AI

Object Select AI is Luminar Neo’s tool for making quick selections of subjects or shapes in your photos. It’s very helpful when you have many areas to select, and it’ll save time on drawing precise selections around each area.

This handy tool can be found within the Masking section of any edit tool. With it, you can use AI to select the areas in which you want your chosen tool to be applied.

With an option to Add and another to Subtract, it’s easy to add or remove the mask from multiple elements. Return to the Adjustments for the tool you’re using, and any adjustments you make will be applied to the masked areas. Quick and simple, with great results.

Luminar Neo also has a few generative AI tools which were released in 2023. GenSwap lets you add or replace objects , GenExpand lets you expand your borders, and GenErase lets you easily remove elements without a trace.

You can purchase Luminar Neo directly from Skylum’s website , or you can download it from the Google Play Store or the Apple Store for your device’s system. iPad users can also purchase Luminar for iPad, although its features aren’t as in-depth as the computer software.

Prices start from $11.95 per month, which includes a basic bundle of tools along with some presets—this can be bought for one month or as a monthly rolling subscription. The annual subscriptions go for $79 (12 months) or $119 (24 months), both include the Spring Assets Collection and a Forest Photography Masterclass, along with free presets. There is a 7-day free trial.

There’s also a lifetime license available for $199. This license includes everything in the annual subscription, plus one year’s access to generative AI tools. Luminar Neo allows you to buy extensions to add to your license without needing to purchase a new license.

Luminar Neo isn't just a standalone tool. You can also use it as a plugin on various other software, including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and the Apple Mac Photos app to enhance your workflow with AI editing tools.

There are many great photo editing tools on the market, but Luminar Neo's AI offerings are in a league of their own—integrating them into your editing workflow will transform your photos. Water Enhancer AI, Twilight Enhancer AI, and Object Select AI will become available from April 25th, 2024.

Spring weather can be unpredictable, so you’ll want a jacket you can layer easily when the temperature fluctuates. With that in mind, we tapped into our fashion expertise in menswear and found a handful of options that deserve a spot in your wardrobe. Our list includes Everlane’s Organic Cotton Chore Jacket , which is a casual and comfortable workwear jacket, Bonobo’s refined Boulevard Bomber and Luluemon’s sporty Textured Full-Zip Hooded Jacket .

The best spring jackets for men are comfortable, stylish and provide lightweight warmth.

All of our picks emphasize lightweight, breathable fabrics and if you live in an area with frequent rain, consider a jacket with a hood or water-resistant coating. Below, all the best spring jackets for men that we highly recommend.

The Best Bike Brands Of 2024: A Complete And Comprehensive Guide

The 10 best body oils that hydrate, nourish and soften skin, editor’s picks, at a glance, everlane the organic cotton chore jacket, bonobos the boulevard bomber, luluemon textured full-zip hooded jacket, dickie’s unlined eisenhower jacket, levi’s trucker jacket, carhartt storm defender waterproof jacket, buck mason storm stopper deck jacket, j.crew harrington jacket, madewell denim boxy shirt-jacket, shop all the best spring jackets for men, casual, comfortable and durable.

The chore coat was initially worn by laborers and farmers and had oversized front pockets for storing tools. Today, it’s a versatile and practical garment heavier than a button-up but not as insulated as your typical winter jacket. Everlane’s chore jacket is cut from sturdy organic cotton and has three pockets total—two front patch pockets and one interior chest pocket.

Sleek And Timeless Design

Bomber jackets are a classic style that dates back to World Wars I and II. The style is defined by wrist and waistband cuffs and typically has a fitted, cropped silhouette. Bonobos’s version has a ribbed hem, collar and cuffs, and it’s constructed from a washable cotton and nylon blend.

Ideal For Outdoor Excursions

When you’re on the go and need an extra layer, Lululemon’s Textured Full-Zip Hooded Jacket is a smart option. The lightweight, water-resistant fabric is machine washable and packs down so you can easily throw it in your suitcase or backpack. Other thoughtful features include underarm vents, zippered side pockets and an adjustable hem and hood (the cinch cord allows you to pull it tighter to keep warmth in or loosen it for more ventilation).

For Everyday, Casual Wear

The J.Crew Harrington Jacket is a modern spin on the traditional workwear jacket that’s ideal for transitional weather. It provides enough warmth when the temperatures dip at night, and the thick cotton twill feels softly broken in. This jacket has a slightly shorter silhouette that hits right at the waist, so size up if you prefer a longer fit.

Ultra-Cool And Durable

Deck jackets were originally worn by sailors in World War II to protect themselves from wind, rain and cold temperatures. Now, it’s a popular style for casual wear and pairs well with just about anything in your wardrobe. Buck Mason’s version is fully lined and has a water-repellent finish, corduroy details and zip front closure.

Lightweight And Versatile For Layering

A shirt jacket is a spring staple that’s easy to throw over a T-shirt or sweater when you need a little extra warmth. This iteration has a boxy fit, light wash and two patch pockets on the front. It’s thinner than a regular jacket, so don’t expect it to replace your outerwear completely on still-chilly days.

Protects You From The Elements

A cross between a windbreaker and a jacket, this top-rated pick from Carhartt is cut from durable nylon that can withstand rain, wind and more without weighing you down. Helpful features include an adjustable hood, hem and zippered pockets to keep your essentials safe. Also great: It packs down and folds into its own pocket for travel.

Affordable And Well-Constructed

Dickie’s is well known for its durable, comfortable basics like pants, shirts and outerwear. Originally developed for military use, the Eisenhower Jacket has a relaxed fit with a front zipper, slash pockets and a hidden interior pocket for stashing a phone or wallet. Note that it runs large, so you might need to size down.

Classic That Pairs Well With Anything

Every spring wardrobe needs a jean jacket, and you’ll keep this Levi’s pick in steady rotation—even beyond the spring. It’s made with 100% non-stretch denim that fades nicely as it ages. Plus, it looks cool no matter what you pair it with.

Various free photo editing apps for iPad, iPhone and other mobile photography devices allow users of all standards to take advantage of the mobile editing experience, while paid apps push the boundaries as to what is possible with a tablet.

10 Best Photo Editing Apps for iPad in 2024

1. adobe lightroom.

adobelightroom

Adobe Lightroom is one of the most popular photo editing apps for iPad, and pretty much across all devices.

This means that you’ll find multiple tutorials, presets and other assets, plus you’ll be able to share and work easily with other colleagues.

Since there’s also a desktop version that is part of the Adobe Cloud, you’ll be able to work on all of your devices efficiently without having to backup or create multiple versions of your file.

It supports most file formats, including raw photos. The editing tools are intuitive and thorough – you can do selective editing too.

You can sync all or some of your edits with other photos at any point for batch editing . You can also save the edits as custom filters to use at a later time.

You can download Adobe Lightroom on your iPad and use the free trial for 30-days. To do so, you’ll need to create an Adobe account.

Once the trial period is over, you can choose one of the Adobe plans to subscribe to. They all include some storage space in the cloud, and you can choose to have other apps from the Adobe Creative Cloud in your subscription. The starting price is just $9.99.

2. Pixelmator Photo

phd photo editing

Pixelmator Photo is a photo editing app specifically designed for iPad to recreate the desktop editor experience.

You can do raw editing with support for raw files from over 500 cameras with some of the most advanced editing features, or you can easily make some basic adjustments.

If you prefer, you can use the ML enhance feature to fix white balance , exposure and colour range automatically – great for a streamlined, fast and efficient iPad photo editing experience.

The Repair tool allows you to easily remove unwanted elements in your picture. Also, you’ll find tons of beautiful presets, or you can create your own filters.

You can batch edit using machine-learning workflows. For example, there’s ML Crop presets, ML Magic and ML Enhance – pretty incredible features for tablet-based photo editing !

Pixelmator Photo is not only a great photo editing app – it’s also a file manager that Syncs with your Photos library. It’s supported by the latest generations of iPad, iPad Pro, iPad Mini and iPad Air. The price is $7.99.

3. Snapseed

phd photo editing

Most free apps are quite basic or offer an in-app purchase if you want an advanced tool or a special filter. This isn’t the case with Snapseed, which is a powerful photo editing app.

With all the tools and presets, you can do high-quality retouching. The only downside is that it doesn’t have such an intuitive interface as the competing apps. However, it does have tutorial cards to help you out, and it’s so popular that you can find multiple tutorials online.

Snapseed is packed with basic features that can you can apply manually or with auto mode. You’ll also find multiple advanced tools that allow you to get professional results.

One of the most popular effects is Double Exposure , where you can blend two images with total precision thanks to the masking tool and blending modes.

You can remove unwanted objects and correct any imperfections with the Healing tool. Snapseed also offers multiple filters and presets and allows you to save your edits as presets that you can share with others.

Snapseed is a well-rounded photo editor for JPEG images as well as raw files.

phd photo editing

VSCO is one of the best photo editing apps that also allow for video editing. You can download it for free and create your account to use the photo editor, and you can participate in the wide community of creators who use VSCO.

One of the greatest appeals of this photo editor is precisely the sharing feature that many prefer over having Instagram accounts.

The difference with the VSCO community is that you can’t see likes in your photos, so it’s less about popularity and more about inspiring and creating.

Beware that VSCO profiles are always public – it doesn’t support private accounts like other social media or online communities. Of course, you can use the app only as a photo editor and work on your photos without sharing them.

With the free version, you can edit photos and use ten filters – it also has raw support. To unlock all the tools and premium filters, you need an annual subscription for $19.99. The paid membership comes with a 7-day free trial period.

Once you have the membership, you’ll be able to access more than 200 filters and presets to create different photography styles.

The same presets are also available for video. You can also make a video montage that allows layering video, images and text.

There’s also a built-in camera with manual options and even allows you to shoot in raw. It’s also possible to switch modes from stills to GIFs. Just consider that there’s a limited amount of filters that can be applied to animated images.

5. Adobe Photoshop

phd photo editing

Adobe Photoshop is one of the most popular photo editors for creators who use desktops, and it’s now available for iPad. The most important feature is the ability to use unlimited layers and masking.

Thanks to this, you can work non-destructively for any photo editing process, and you can make a photo composite using multiple photos.

Adobe Photoshop for iPad has Apple Pencil support so that you can work directly on the canvas for a more precise and natural workflow.

You’ll have all the correction tools to retouch your images, such as the Clone Stamp and the Healing Brush, allowing you to remove unwanted objects.

If you like to share your process with other creators, you can easily Livestream or record your editing sessions using Photoshop for iPad. This is perfect if you need to share tutorials with your followers on Behance – you can even enable a chat panel to see comments, questions and interact with your viewers.

You can also edit videos and animations using Photoshop’s Timeline, or you can work on 3D and technical imaging.

The Photoshop iPad app always comes with Photoshop for desktop so you can share your PSD files across your devices to have a more efficient workflow.

You may also have heard of Photoshop Fix, a powerful yet easy to use image retouching and restoration app. Photoshop for iPad allows you to perform similar actions as Photoshop Fix, but Photoshop Fix has a much simpler interface due to having far fewer tools.

For a completely optimized process, you can subscribe to the Photography plan for $9.99, and you’ll also get Adobe Lightroom.

6. Darkroom

phd photo editing

Darkroom is a photo editing app that’s easy to use thanks to its intuitive interface. It also has a few features for video editing.

It has raw support, and it has a built-in Library Sync feature that makes it easy to work with multiple devices since Darkroom photo editor is available for Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Inside the Library, you can Flag and Reject images, arrange them in Albums and more so that you can have everything well organized.

Another helpful feature is that you can batch edit images to apply the same filters or adjustments to multiple files at once. You can also crop to a preset and watermark your pictures and videos – everything with Shortcut Actions.

Darkroom has a limited free version with in-app purchases to unlock all the features, including curve tools, video processing, and premium filters – amongst other stuff.

The pricing is flexible depending on your needs. If you want to subscribe, you can choose monthly payments of $4.99 or one yearly fee of $24.99 – which means you’re saving 50%. However, if you prefer to make a one-time purchase to unlock everything forever, you can do it for $49.99.

  • Darkroom vs Lightroom

7. Affinity Photo

phd photo editing

Affinity Photo is a desktop-quality photo editor for iPad with full file format compatibility. You can import PSB files, PSD smart objects, and import/export PSD files.

Don’t worry about working on large files because Affinity Photo is optimized to handle them and run at 120fps, even with layers and live filters. Of course, this also depends on your device. Old iPads are not supported – you need an iPad (later than 2017), iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad Air 3 and iPad mini 5.

The photo editing features go from something as simple as white balance adjustment to HDR merge with tone mapping.

To help you achieve professional results, you have 22 adjustment layers for image editing without compromise. You can use any preset brushes, import .abr brushes or create your own to share across devices – they are all supported by Apple Pencil.

Affinity Photo offers the possibility to work with layers, so you can create professional-looking photo-composites and work non-destructively.

If you don’t like having to deal with complex subscription plans, in-app purchases, etc., you’ll be happy to know that Affinity Photo works with a one-time purchase of $21.99.

Don’t take this as a limiting factor, though – you can head on to the Affinity Store and choose any number of add-ons to enrich the photo editing tools already available in the iPad app.

If you’re more into graphic design software, Affinity Designer serves well as an alternative to Adobe Illustrator , particularly if you don’t want a monthly subscription.

8. A Color Story

phd photo editing

A Color Story is an editing app mainly used by community managers and social media creators. The editing tools are not as powerful as other photo editors like Photoshop or Affinity Photo. Still, it has a sleek interface and tons of filters updated by artists and influencers.

It also allows you to preview your images as an Instagram feed and schedule your posts if you decide to connect the app with your Instagram account.

A Color Story is free to download and use, but most of its filters are sold separately –  or you can get complete access with monthly or yearly memberships. However, it also has multiple editing features that allow you to create your own presets and save them for future image editing.

It also shoots photos with the built-in camera that you can toggle between your iPad’s rear and front camera. It also allows video editing to match the aesthetics of your photos, add text and more.

All in all, it’s one of the best photo editing apps you can get – especially if you’re an Instagrammer.

9. Facetune

phd photo editing

So far, I’ve listed a few options that are head to head in the best photo editor for iPad category in a generic sense. However, this one is more specific – Facetune is the best photo editing app for selfies and portraits.

This app is aimed at amateur photographers thanks to its easy to use tools that help you make professional-level retouching.

With one-touch solutions and swiping tools, you can make anyone look like professional models captured by top photographers.

For example, you can emphasize the smile and whiten your subject’s teeth with just a few swipes. You didn’t get a good night sleep? Don’t worry; you can easily brighten dark circles around the eyes.

You don’t need to hire expensive make-up artists for your photoshoot because Facetune allows you to apply any shade of blush, eyeshadow and lip colour.

There’s also a Defocus tool to make a beautiful bokeh effect on your portraits. You can control tones, improve lighting, rotate the image and more.

Once you’re satisfied with the results, you can easily share your photos directly from the app to your social media accounts or via email.

Facetune requires a one time purchase of $5.99 and is compatible with any iPad using iPadOS 9.0 or later.

10. Glitch Art Studio

phd photo editing

If your creative needs go beyond a white balance correction or a colouring filter – Glitch Art Studio may be the photo editor for iPad that you need.

A glitch is a sudden malfunction on a computer or a video – typically, this is not something you want happening to you, but you can make it happen creatively.

Glitch art is one of the most eye-catching effects that’s trending on social media. There are ways to do this effect manually using layers and multiple editing effects – but you need a certain level of skills and an advanced (usually paid) app to do it.

Glitch Art Studio allows you to skip the hard part and easily recreate a glitch by distorting photos and videos with multiple effects. A limited version is free to use, but you’ll need a pro pack to unlock the full version currently sold for $4.99.

Some of the effects add analog or digital noise, others create lens distortions, and some recreate old TV or VHS effects – there are multiple creative possibilities to have fun with it.

Thanks to the Mask mode, you can apply the effects only to a selected part of the image. Also, you can create short clips from still images and save them as GIFs.

Aside from the cool effects, you can do some basic photo editing like adjusting Brightness, Contrast, Temperature, Hue, Saturation and Cropping. You can blur or sharpen parts of your photo too.

I have tremors and wanted to know which app is best for erasing wrinkles and telephone pills?

I used PS and LR many years ago but found for outlining images and staying “between the lies was tricky and required multiple attempts.” Is there an app that has greater tolerance?

Which camera would you say has the best stabilization for the camera and for frequently used lenses?

I had a fire in 7/2020 and lost all cameras, tripods, battery chargers etc, so I’m starting from scratch you might say. I was using Canon 50 EOS, and the30D . I also have to take the weight of the camera with a Telephoto lens . Any suggestions?

I enjoyed the article and appreciated the videos of someone utilizing certain features! Thank you very much!

?When you stated an app was $9.99 did you mean a month or forever(when you didn’t indicate the timeframe ?) Thank you!

My go to favorite editor on iPad has been SuperimposeX for 5 years. Fully featured like a minibphotoshop

Great summaries and I tend to agree with your rankings. Here’s where I’m at and I’d like to get your input: • I’m retired and now Photography has become my avocation! • I’m shooting JPEG’S on a Fujifilm X-H1 and my preferred genres are Macro and Monochrome Photography • Currently my Post-processing work flow is done on my 4th generation iPad Pro using Pixelmator Photo & Darkroom with Apple Photos acting as my photo organizer via albums • With the launch of Capture One for iPad and the improvements I’ve learned about in Adobe Lightroom for iPad, I’m re-evaluating my current toolbox and trying to decide if I stay with my current Post-processing arrangement or make the move to either CO for iPad or Lightroom for iPad (I despise Photoshop so it’s not an option)

What would you (or Mark) suggest and why?

If you already have an iPad Pro, I’d recommend you use Lightroom for iPad, David – this is what I use. I’m confident the CO app will be great too, but for now, Lr is still number one.

Great reviews, I used to teach digital photography at our community college… Photoshop 3+. era. Your quick reviews agree with my experience…my iPad Pro is my favorite editing platform with SnapSeed leading the pack, for its’ elegant and easy interface, and powerful results!

Ahh Photoshop 3+ – how it’s come along since then, Richard! Thanks for the comment and all the best.
