My Top iPhone Photo Apps

OldBooth Premium

The basic idea is that you take photos of friends (enemies?) then paste their faces into yearbook-style headshots. Not only can the effects be pretty convincing the scale, rotate and brightness controls are useful and intuitive but the app is built with such care that it’s impossible not to love it

Hipstamatic
"Digital photography never looked so analog." That's the opening salvo of Hipstamatic's product page in the App Store, and it's an apt description. The Hipstamatic is actually based on a real camera that existed in 1982 that never caught on but enjoys a loyal following. This app recreates the functionality of that retro camera as well as the look thanks to a cool "plastic" interface and classic flash popping noises. Hipstamatic offers a series of lenses and film sticks to replicate the look of cameras from days gone by. The app includes a handful of lenses and films for oversaturated photos, 70s Polaroid effects, and more – but if you need even more quirk, you can buy additional lenses, color gels, and film stocks for 99 cents a pop. While we wouldn't go so far as to say Hipstamatic is an insta-party, it is certainly a fun app that you'll drop hours into with friends. And it makes those odd little scenes you spot in real life look even cooler.

Adobe Photoshop Express

This photo app has an impressive set of tools to edit your images on the go. Crop, blur, and add a variety of preset effects and to make your photos pop. The app is free, and even lets you upload projects to Photoshop.com so you can finish using the web-based version.
