Seven Instagram alternatives for iOS

19.04.2012

PhotoToaster boasts of more general photo-editing features—you can crop, rotate, and flip photos straight from the tools menu.

Start with your general edits, then choose between three sets of automatic filters: Basic, Supreme, or Deluxe. Each filter set has a handful of specific filters, with Basic yielding the most simple filters and Deluxe housing the most extreme. Once your base is set, you can move on to tweak the lighting, edit the contrast, add a vignette, and choose a complimentary border.

These image-editing categories have their own presets for beginners, but if you prefer full control instead of the given presets, you can manually adjust for saturation, color filter, exposure, temperature, and light. Want to compare your edits to the original photo? Just tap and hold, and watch your photo fade from its edited phase, to its original state, and then back again.

The full version of PhotoToaster is $1.99; is free, but has ads and lacks some features.
