iOS 740: Photo Editing on iOS - Annotable, Picsew, Pixelmator

Listen Later

In this episode of iOS Today, hosts Mikah Sargent and Rosemary Orchard show viewers the powerful photo and video editing capabilities available on iOS and iPadOS devices. They explore both built-in editing features and third-party applications that can enhance one's photo editing experience.

  • Built-in Video Editing Tools: Mikah demonstrates how iOS lets you quickly mirror, rotate, crop, and trim videos without needing third-party software, saving significant time compared to desktop video editors.
  • Built-in Photo Editing Tools: Rosemary walks through editing photos with the Photos app, showing how to adjust Live Photos (turning them into loops, bounces, or long exposures), adjust styles, make exposure adjustments, and crop images.
  • Live Photo Key Frame Selection: Rosemary demonstrates how to select the best frame from a Live Photo to ensure everyone's eyes are open or to capture the perfect moment.
  • Clean Up Tool: The built-in cleanup feature uses Apple Intelligence to remove unwanted elements from photos, which Rosemary demonstrates by removing a clip from a keyboard image.
  • Markup Tools: Rosemary shows how to use built-in markup tools to add shapes, text, and annotations to images when explaining something to someone.
  • Copy/Paste Edits: A useful feature that lets you copy edits from one photo and paste them to others, especially helpful when selling items online and maintaining consistent white balance.
  • Annotable App: Mikah showcases this powerful annotation tool that offers features like magnification loops with adjustable positions, redaction tools, text tools, arrows, and shapes for detailed annotations.
  • Picsew App: Rosemary demonstrates this screenshot management tool that automatically stitches screenshots together, removes status bars and scroll bars, adds device frames, and helps keep a photo library organized.
  • CleanMyPhone App: Rosemary mentions this app (formerly Gemini) that helps identify similar shots and duplicates to clean up the photo library.
  • Pixelmator/Photomator: Rosemary highlights these powerful photo editing apps (recently acquired by Apple) that bring Photoshop-like capabilities to iOS and iPadOS, allowing for layer-based editing with advanced blending modes for just $4.99.

    • Shortcuts Corner

    • Adding Country Codes to Contacts: Rosemary creates a shortcut to help Lauren, who had issues with text messages not showing contact names while traveling internationally.
