Free and effective photo editing apps for iPad

Apple's photo-editing application iPhoto is not one of the best possible cover letters for the company, to put it mildly, and, after paying € 3,99 to acquire it, the level of user satisfaction it is usually quite low. However, there are free, high-quality apps to do these kinds of tasks. We have selected for you 3 alternatives to iPhoto that you will not regret using.

Adobe Photoshop Express. Although the features, as expected, do not match those of the desktop version, this application allows us to edit and share photos without complications. With simple touch controls you can crop, rotate or adjust the color of the photos, and add filters (black and white, etc.) and effects (blur, for example), in addition to having a wide variety of frames. It must be borne in mind, of course, that there are several packages of functionalities that must be purchased separately.

BeFunky Photo Editor. BeFunky, the iPad application of the popular online photo editing application, on the other hand, is completely free and does not require any type of registration or subscription. With it we can also undertake basic editing tasks such as cutting or rotating, adjusting brightness, contrasts, etc., but also adding effects and frames, and, of course, sharing easily through Flickr, Facebook or the page itself by BeFunky.

Pic Collage. This application, as its name suggests, is specifically designed to create and share collages from your photos. Its operation is really simple and intuitive: from the application you access your photos on the iPad or download them from your Facebook or from your friends', you add them and you can start “messing around” with them, editing them if necessary, and adding text and labels or a background.
