Instagram is a sharing network I use daily. It’s great for square images but what if you want to share portrait or landscape ratio iPhoneography images? Here’s how.
A very powerful iPhoneography app bringing desktop functionality to the iPhone. Vast array of image editing features including curves, colour correction, layers, masking (with gradients) to name just a few. Primarily used by me for cropping, re-sizing and text.
