PhotoPad is an interesting app which would be great if it were more functional. Photo fixing and painting with PhotoPad by Zagg To finish this image I saved it out of Photogene to the iPad Photo Library and then took the image over to Scratch Camera to add the final touches you see here.Īll in all Photogene is a good app but I'd like to see some one organize the interface better – the effects tools are all over the place in Presets, in Enhancements and in Retouches – if you forget where an effect is you can easily spend some time looking for it in all these places. To finish I made some adjustments to the image saturation, vibrance and clarity. If desired you can see the mask overlay as you are painting an effect on the image.įor this image I chose a cross process effect in the Retouches which you can apply to the entire image by selecing it in Presets or just part of it by painting it on in Retouches. Use the Intensity slider to dial down the effect if it is too much. When you are painting on effects like dodge and burn you can switch from painting to erasing if you by tap twice on the screen. If you prefer a more automated approach, use one of the built in vignettes in the Enhance area. I added a vignette using the Burn brush which is a Retouching tool and which let me paint on the vignette. I fixed this image in Photogene and started with the rotate tool to straighten it and then IĬropped it to a 1:1 crop with the Crop tool.
There are Effects you can apply to images – some you'll find in the Retouches tools area and some in Enhance. I kind of like Photogene as an all-round app It has a mask tool that you can use to paint on features such as a dodge and burn fix to lighten and darken parts of an image. Here is a look at some of them and, for each, I've given it a score out of 5 – the best are 5/5 and the worst 1/5: Photo-editing in Photogene When it comes to editing photos on the iPad there are plenty of programs to use.
