FX Photo Studio review

FX Photo Studio is a photography app that allows you to tweak, improve, and modify your photos using an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. The developer of this magnificent app is MacPhun and costs $2.99.

I have recently realized the beauty of using my iPhone as a camera more than anything else. I own a digital camera but it is stuffed away somewhere in my closet. I always have my phone on me or not more than a foot away so why not use it to its full extent? I guess the point I am making is that I live for photography apps so when something like FX Photo Studio is introduced to me it is as if I have died and gone to heaven.

FX Photo Studio is simple to use yet features highly complicated and diverse photo effects and filters. There are 171 photo effects and filters, so having a simplistic interface is essential. You can turn your photograph into nearly any style you would like with options like, Stencil Poster Red, Grunge Rays Sepia, Brush Strokes, Pencil Paint, Old Photo, and Mosaic. There are so many effects that they needed to be categorized. There are 19 categories that come with the app and then 3 extra ones that you can buy in the app for an additional $0.99 each. There is a favorites option in case you want all of your preferences together in one place to get to quickly. You can rotate, flip, and crop an image as well. Even though you can preview the changes before they are made, there are easy access Undo and Redo buttons. The best feature of this app is the Gamma brightness adjustments that improve an image 100%. You can also mix and match the different modifications to get hybrid creations. Once you finish your alteration, you can save the image to your photo library or broadcast it via Facebook, email, Twitter, or Flickr.

FX Photo Studio is worth every penny. You do not have to put forth any real effort to get a fairly large return. The app is straightforward and packed with features. I honestly cannot think of any possible improvements: FX Photo has it all.
