Best photo-editing apps for iPad

Tweak images on a larger display

The iPhone’s smaller screen can be a bit cramped for photo editing. The iPad gives you the freedom to edit your images wherever you like with the added bonus of a larger display (and the ability to enjoy using a stylus to retouch masks in a more organic way).

Pixelmator Photo

£6.99 FROM pixelmator.com

Pixelmator Photo features many of the tools found in macOS Photos and it displays them in similar looking panels, so you’ll master it in minutes. It packs in many more filters than Photos so you can stylise shots more quickly. You can also enjoy making selective colour adjustments on the go while Denoise reduces the presence of compression artefacts.

FaceTune 2

Free (IAPs) FROM facetuneapp.com

If your model’s expression is a bit straight, use Facetune 2’s intelligent face tracking tools to make them smile with the swipe of a slider. You can also replace boring backgrounds with ease, enhance complexions and remove spots and blemishes with a few swipes. It’s such a powerful and versatile app that you could get carried away with your portrait pixel pushing.
