TOUCHRETOUCH $2.59 | adva-soft.com

Probably as close to magic as you’ll ever get. TouchRetouch simply and easily removes minor blemishes and erroneous objects in your photos — such as lampposts, wiring or a tree branch poking out of the side of someone’s head — with a swipe of your finger. With a little more effort, you can access Photoshop-like cloning tools for powerful results. All you need to do is simply ‘paint’ the area you want erased, and the app examines what’s around that area and then fills in the gap as best it can. For the vast majority of the time, it gets it right, as though you took that photo. Occasionally, things go wrong, cloning in a wrong part of the pic, but the streamlined controls make it exceptionally easy to go back and either have another go, or sort it out yourself. Powerful handsets will make short work of the edits, and the in-built tutorials remove any guesswork.
