5:00 AM - 5 Best Photos Apps for iPad

The iPad can do some amazing things, from getting you organized to keep you entertained. It may already be a cliche, but there truly is "an app for that" - the problem now is finding the right app for the job. Over the last three weeks, I have reviewed a large number of photography apps for the iPad. Now it's time to highlight my favorites so you can easily edit, enhance, and share your photos with all of your friends and family.

 

1. Photoshop Express
A very pared down version of the ubiquitous photo-editing tool, yes, but handy none the less for making basic corrections such as rotating photos, cropping, straightening and even more creative functions such as saturation, tint and convert to black and white.

 

2. LIFE for iPad
Galleries compiled from the LIFE archives along with contemporary photos. You can browse through popular galleries, editors picks, news, celebrity, sport and also search for something more specific.Although the odd advert will pop up, the sheer vastness of the archive means that this is a great resource to have at your fingertips for free.

 

3. Photobucket
This a great app for users of free photo-sharing site Photobucket. You can browse the images of others, search for specific images, login into your own account and upload straight to it. It's nice and quick to use, and great for sharing as you can grab image URLS to email/social network with. With Flickr not yet releasing its iPad app (although it does have one for the iPhone) this is a great free way to share photos.

 

4. Foto Editor
This photo editor doesn't come with the myriad of options that a paid for app like Photogene boasts, but it does include some fun filters that are nothing special but are very quick to apply. You can also make simple changes to the brightness and contrast, but it's missing some vital tools such as crop that would have made this app a lot more useful.

 

5. PhotoPad by Zagg
Yet another free photo editing tool, this one comes somewhere between paid for app Photogene and free Foto Editor for its usefulness. It does include basic essentials like crop, rotate and scale, but they aren't as easy to use as Photogene's. Image properties displays a handy histogram, but without the ability to edit properties like Levels within the app it might seem a little redundant. Another dose of fun filters are added on to this as well, but again there's nothing amazing just a simple bit of colour adjustment.
