Today I discovered Hipstamatic, a very fun camera iPhone app. As I stopped at a random parking lot to take photos and test filters, I thought it’d be fun to do a series of iPhone photo recipes. Most photos aren’t all that pretty straight out of the phone. They need a little help.

iPhone photo editing apps

Best Camera – $2.99. By far my favorite, it’s ability to stack, add, delete, and rearrange filters is truly amazing.

CameraBag – $1.99. Offering a nice selection of filters, Camerabag is great for creating a film like feel.

Photogene – $2.99. Unlike the others, Photogene lets you tweak your settings. Levels, exposure, custom borders – it’s all here.

Hipstamatic – $1.99. This app is a camera. No edits, no changes. Just pick your lens, film, and shoot!
