from is one of the multitude of all-in-one photo offerings in the App Store. This free app lets you crop, color, and touch up all you like, which is all well and good. But skip that stuff and get to the Scene interface where the fun begins.

There are more than 50 cool and fun frames or scenes to put around your image, including an ample selection of holiday greetings--fast, fun and personalized cards, here we come. An uploader to Facebook and Twitter makes sharing that much easier. You can remove the ads from the app via an in-app purchase.

If you dream of turning your images into a classic Soviet-era style propaganda poster, from will do the trick. Be warned that the interface on this free app is downright frustrating. Still, no other app that I've come across does this, and the results are really cool once you get the hang of it. You overlay your image with pre-made text, stickers and paper textures to get that "for-the-motherland" feel. The app won't appeal to everyone, but as a fan of this form of artwork, I find it to be a good addition to my iPhone. (iStalin is a universal app that runs natively on the iPad, too.)

I'm always looking to expand my creativity and post something new. These five apps give you a wealth of new options for your photos, without running up a huge tab at the App Store.
