Snapseed
The first application to edit photos on iPhone that I recommend you download is Snapseed. I chose to tell you about this app as I believe it is a valid tool that, developed by Google, allows you to edit photos with numerous professional tools.
On the other hand, Snapseed is also a very simple and intuitive application to use; I think it is perfect to use for those who are new to editing photos from smartphones.
Using it is very simple: after you have downloaded it from the iOS App Store by pressing the button Ottieni / Installa, start it by pressing the Open button. I want to explain to you in detail how the app works.
As soon as the app starts, you will need to choose the photo you want to edit. To do this, click on the button apri at the top left, or tap in the center of the screen Home to open the media gallery of your device (button Open from the device), to take a photo (button camera) or to open the last image taken (button open last image).
Then choose the image you want to edit and tap on it to add the image in question to the Snapseed editing screen.
All photo editing tools are available by clicking on the menu items at the bottom. Snapseed features are divided into two macro categories: Effects (which allows you to apply predefined filters to photos) e Instruments (which includes all the tools for editing photos such as Calibrate, Curve, Crop, Rotate, Perspective, Correction e much more).
Any changes made will be saved. To do this, I have to press the key with the symbol of V of check located at the bottom right. If you want to save the edited photo in the memory of your device, then click on the button Export: you can, for example, save the edited photo by replacing the original (button Save) or even save it as a copy (Save a copy).
Alternatively, once you are done editing the photo, you can also press the button Share if you want to share the photo within a social network. Instead, press the button Open in to open the photo with another application.
Snapseed is an application free that does not have advertising banners.
VSCO
A noteworthy application that allows you to edit photos on iPhone is VSCO. The app in question is known and appreciated for its advanced tools and the ability to use it directly to take a photo, manually changing parameters such as exposure and brightness. Ultimately, it is an application that gives its best if its professional tools are exploited to the maximum.
If you want to use VSCO as an app to edit photos on your Apple smartphone, download it from the App Store via this link: you just have to press the button Ottieni / Installa and then on the button apri to start the application.
To use VSCO you will first need to register for a free account. Then press the button Start and then choose whether to register via the phone number (button Register with your phone number) or whether to proceed by registering an account via your email address (button Register with your email address).
Once you log into the app you will notice the presence of a minimal user interface, perhaps not very intuitive. Don't worry, I'll explain right away how to use it to edit a photo.
To edit a photo you will first have to choose whether to take a photo on the spot, by changing the camera parameters using the buttons on the main screen. You can choose whether to take a photo or to press the button DSCO to create a GIF, using the app's advanced parameters. The parameters for changing the values of a camera are made up of unconventional icons that will be familiar to those who use professional cameras.
If, on the other hand, you want to edit a photo already present in your device's media library, swipe down to access the section Studio. By tapping on the section ShopInstead, you will be able to access the application's virtual store that will allow you to purchase numerous advanced filters and presets.
To add a photo to the app editor, press the button capacitor positive (+) lead and choose the photo from your iPhone's media library. Then select the photo by tapping on it and, to edit it, press the button with the symbol of the two levers.
The app's editing tools are enclosed in two main symbols: the film symbol that includes a number of predefined presets and the two-toggle symbol that gives access to traditional editing tools: Exposure, Contrast, Crop, Straighten, Focus, just to give some examples.
To confirm the changes made, press the button Save. Once you have made the changes you can save the edited image in the roll or share it on social networks. To do this, you will have to press the button with the three dots symbol (...) and then choose from the options available in the menu that opens.
VSCO is available for free, offers the possibility to make purchases in the app but does not have advertising banners.

Aviary is a perfect application to carry out this purpose, since it integrates a section where you can view the changes made by other users, in order to find out how to best use the application.
