You can download Adobe Lightroom on your iPad and use the free trial for 30-days. You can also save the edits as custom filters to use at a later time. You can sync all or some of your edits with other photos at any point for batch editing. The editing tools are intuitive and thorough – you can do selective editing too. It supports most file formats, including raw photos. Since there’s also a desktop version that is part of the Adobe Cloud, you’ll be able to work on all of your devices efficiently without having to backup or create multiple versions of your file. This means that you’ll find multiple tutorials, presets and other assets, plus you’ll be able to share and work easily with other colleagues. See what you can get with just small adjustments.Adobe Lightroom is one of the most popular photo editing apps for iPad, and pretty much across all devices. It’s called Temperature in other editing apps, and you’ll be adding some orange overtones to warm up the photo or some blue ones to cool it down.

The Warmth slider is lovely for adjusting the overall color balance of the photo. Use the Shadow slider to bring in some detail, but again, don’t over use this one. Don’t do too much, though, as an overly saturated photo never looks quite right. You can slide all the way to the left to make a gorgeous black and white image, or just a little to the right to bring out color in a photo. Then, try out the Saturation slider – colors get more vibrant as you slide to the right. Hop into Contrast settings next, and bump it up a bit to make shadows darker and highlights brighter. Using a negative Ambiance number will darken shadows and soften up lighter areas, too, for some mood. Or, heck, just slide around until your photo looks the way you like it. It’s a nice, subtle effect – feel free to bump it up all the way to +30 or +35 if you want. Swipe up to choose Ambiance from the parameter list, then adjust Ambiance with a swipe right or left.
