When Ben Long wrote about Nik Software’s new Snapseed photo editor last month, he had nothing but praise for the app, calling it the “best image-editing app for the iPad”. Now you can enjoy Snapseed’s refined features on the iPhone and iPod touch as well as the iPad. The price is $4.99 for all of these devices.
However, there are device-imposed file-size ceilings. Nik recommends the iPhone 4 because it supports 16MP resolution (as does the iPad 2, but not the iPad 1). Also, version 4 of the iPhone 4 is the only one that can work with RAW files; the iPhone 3GS, and iPod Touch 3 and 4 cannot. Note that even with the iPhone 4 and iPad 2, you must transfer RAW files onto your iOS device via a camera connector kit.
You can buy Snapseed 1.2, the latest version, from the iTunes App Store.
