Take Your Smartphone Photography to the Next Level


Instagram filters are nice… but what if you’re looking for more? Adventure photographer, Edward Tomasso has discovered that there’s value in the editing process. The perfect edit can turn something simple into something significant. If you’re looking to up your Instagram game, Tomasso recommends that you give these photo editing apps a shot!


When it comes to photography, the editing process can make all the difference. In the competitive realm of Instagram, simple shots do little to win over your followers. An unedited, lazy post may score a few likes from your friends and family -- but a truly stunning shot can increase your engagement to new heights! Upgrading your approach to editing can have a serious impact on how well your posts perform on Instagram. But the photo editing capabilities that come preloaded on your iPhone or Android smartphone are a little too simple to do the trick. Luckily, the App and Google Play Stores have you covered!

Here are photographer, Edward Tomasso’s current favorite photo editing apps that’ll help you up your Instagram game and rake in those likes!

Adobe Lightroom

It’s no secret that Adobe dominates the professional photo and video editing worlds. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Adobe’s popular Lightroom also maintains an app counterpart for smartphone photography. The Adobe Lightroom app offers user professional-grade adjustments and also makes further use of your smartphone’s built-in capabilities, like HDR capture and long-exposure. As an added bonus, Adobe Creative Cloud subscribers will enjoy access to features like RAW photo editing and so much more!

There’s definitely a reason why Enlight took home the Apple Design Award in 2017. As soon as you give this app a whirl for yourself, it’s not hard to see why it won the award! Enlight offers users the opportunity to turn their photos into something truly unique. From recreating the old school film look with analog filters to blending multiple images together into one -- the possibilities are close to endless with this easy to use app! Unfortunately for Android users, this app is currently an iOS exclusive.
