It does the job well, and there are also other basic image editing tools.Ĭamera Plus is not a universal app, and it requires iOS 7 or greater.
The Pix'd feature is the best post-photo feature. While not overflowing with seldom-used features, it has what you need to take excellent photos by providing tools to help you align, focus and compose your images. You can edit other photos from your camera roll not taken in Camera Plus, but some panoramas I took were deemed too large to open.Ĭamera Plus is quick and produces images as good as other top-tier photo apps. Swipe up to make the image brighter or down to make it darker. After tapping to set focus, simply swipe up or down to adjust the exposure (brightness). You can also enter edit mode when you are in the Pix'd editor. The iPhone provides an easy way to adjust exposure after setting the focus point. You'll find tools for cropping, color adjustments and image flip / rotation. When you open the app's camera roll, you hold your finger down on the image you want to edit. It does have some useful editing tools, but they are a bit hidden. The app does not have any HDR capabilities, which is a negative for the way I use my camera. Although you can cancel the Pix'd effect without saving, I would have liked to have seen a split-screen look at before and after, or a quick revert button for comparisons. The Pix'd feature did help most of my images, and it did not go overboard and kept them looking natural without overdriving saturation. I was happy with the performance and appreciated nice little touches like an on-screen level indicator that helped me get my horizon straight. I gave the app a spin in the neighborhood. Photos can be shared via Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Twitter, iMessage and Mail. The app also supports video and you can select your resolution as either full-res or 480p. The app also offers a stabilization mode, burst mode, timer controlled photos, the ability to use the volume buttons on the phone to snap a photo and optional geo-tagging. It's used after you take your photo, rather than before. A lot of auto-enhance features don't work very well. Basically, it's an automatic tweaking feature for color, contrast and brightness. It increases luminance in low light, and keeps the noise down. Another clever feature is "Lumy," an exposure slider you can see in the main live screen. The app offers three focus modes: Macro, Normal and Far. Camera Plus (not to be confused with the best-selling and excellent app Camera +) is a US$0.99 (on sale for a limited time) app that offers nice control of your photography both before and after you snap your pictures.
