![]() ![]() (This is the app I used almost exclusively when I did a job for Mercedes-Benz a couple of years ago). It doesn't read RAW, but it actually did grab the full resolution JPEG from the RAW+ JPEG pair. MatteboxĪnother app I used to use a lot, but haven't in a while - although it's worth revisiting. So thank goodness it doesn't scale my files! Plus, they've updated for the iPad Pro interface and it's totally awesome.īetween Snapseed and VSCO I'd be a pretty happy iOS photo editor. Plus, it has a beautiful film grain overlay. I like the interface, it has lots of great presets, and you can really tweak the look. Fragmentīizarre app that fragments your photos… but hey, it doesn't scale!Īnother curious editor, but also it doesn't scale. No indication prior to export which will. Scale - Some effects cause scaling, but not all. The developer has confirmed that they are working on a version that won't exhibit this behavior. UPDATE: It turns out that some filters/effects do cause a downscale, but not all. It does not read the RAW file, and it does save the full resolution of whatever you give it.Ī new app in my arsenal, which has a very creative approach to image editing using Curves for just about anything, however it reduces the image on import to 2048, so it's not much use in a pro workflow. Pixelmator made a lot of noise a while ago it's a powerful iOS app that seems to have taken many cues from the now defunct iPhoto for iOS. As expected it does not read the RAW file, and does save the full resolution of whatever you give it. SKRWT is an app I use often to correct perspectives. When you save changes, you have the choice of modifying the original image, which is actually undo-able at any time, or saving a new, unique file.Īlright, enough screenshots… let's power through some apps. ![]() Snapseed gets the bonus award for being one of the few apps that will allow you to non-destructively modify an image in your Photos album. The good news is, when you edit and save the photo, you don't lose any resolution there, either. Snapseed opens the RAW-embedded JPEG in a RAW+ JPEG pair, ignoring the actual JPEG fileįinally if you import the JPEG, of course that opens at full resolution. (Scroll down to the PhotosInfoPro app - there is a workaround). Which means if you shoot RAW+ JPEG, Snapseed ignores the JPEG. This is unfortunate, especially since there's no way at the time of import from the Apple SD Card Reader to separate the RAW and JPEG files. If you open the RAW+ JPEG file, unfortunately it also opens the 1920 wide preview file - not the full resolution JPEG. If you choose the RAW file, it will open the embedded 1920 wide preview image. Snapseed sees all three test images in B&W, so it's not seeing the RAW. (I could see making a nice big table comparing apps to be a useful resource at some point… but not today.) But for the purpose of this article, we only care about two things. This is by far my most-used tool, with both creative and corrective controls, an incredible interface, and some of the most advanced use of available iOS APIs I've seen. Google bought Snapseed from Nik Software a few years ago, and turned it into an amazing, free app for iOS. I've been pretty surprised so far, so let's continue and see what else is out there. Without the DAM component in place this is a bit of a fool's errand, but at least I want to take a look at some of my favorite tools on iOS and see which are capable of reading a RAW file, and which do and don't scale images upon import or export. ![]() Now let's have a look at image editors themselves. ![]()
